Where did you get that info. I checked into it 3 or 4 months ago and corresponded with the factory and manufacturers sales director and was informed that the list of options was at that time, very sparse. No AC, Air ride etc. Strictly a work truck and no plans to change it at that time. I thought it would be a tough truck but with only one 75gl fuel tank available it did not look promising. Maybe they saw the light. I pestered them for a month or so and finally got a brochure, spec sheet etc before losing interest. It sure looks different. It was designed to be strictly a vocational truck according to the factory folks. This should mean TOUGH since that is usually dumps, flats, propane trucks, construction use etc. Ed
