Freightliner
Coronado is Freightliner's premium long-nose over-the-road model, with styling that blends traditional looks with aerodynamic details. It uses the Century cab and chassis and is available with 70-inch Mid- or Raised-Roof integral sleepers (or as a daycab for local work, and to which a custom box can be fitted). The Classic and longer-nose Classic XL, now built on a Century chassis, quickly became a best seller, thanks largely to fleet buys. Classics also come as daycabs or with integrated sleepers: 48- and 58-inch Flat Roofs, 70-inch Mid Roofs, and 70- and 84-inch Raised Roofs.
Other HD Models: Columbia and Century S/T are Freightliner's volume over-the-road tractors, though replacements are in the works. The Argosy high COE is being dropped because its low volume does not justify the cost of engineering in the EPA '07 diesels.
EPA '07 Diesels: Freightliner's own 14-liter Detroit Series 60, with ratings of 455 to 515 horsepower, is standard in most long-hood trucks and tractors, while the 12.8-liter MBE 4000, rated at 350 to 450 horsepower, is standard in most vehicles with medium-length hoods. Caterpillar will supply 335- to 430-horsepower C13 and 435- to 625-horsepower C15 diesels for certain Freightliner models.
