Sterling Cargo Trucks The answer to your problems of maximizing payloads and minimizing trip times in dense urban settings, the Cargo offers all the traditional advantages of low-cab-forward configuration...along with the commitment of the Sterling nameplate.

Product Highlights...

Low-cab-forward design - for a shorter overall length (easier maneuvering) or a longer vocational body (more payload), or a productive blend of the two.

Unsurpassed agility - combining standard power steering and the extremely tight turning diameter of a front axle set back 53 inches.

Aerodynamically styled cab - featuring spacious comfort for three people, outstanding sight lines in all directions, and up to 50-degree tilt capability for unimpaired engine access.

Cummins ISB diesels - 175 to 230 horsepower, with fully programmable electronic controls, standard wastegate turbocharging, and air-to-air intercooling.

Single drive axles - to meet GVW requirements from 25,500 to 37,000 pounds.

Wide choice of rear suspensions - including the Sterling AirLinerŽ for an unsurpassed smooth ride.

High-tensile (50,000 psi) and extra-high tensile (110,000 psi) bolted frames - optional quarter-inch inner or outer reinforcement for RBM ratings as high as 2,894,000. Available HUCK-SPINŽ fasteners for added durability and reduced maintenance. Clean Frame Rails option for simplified body mounting.



Additional Noteworthy Features*

  • Aerodynamic styling elements to help conserve fuel--including integral A-pillar    air deflectors, bumper end caps, concealed drip rails, flush door handles

  • Unique "spoiler collar" shape along rear cab edge, to help direct airflow    around truck bodies

  • Ample cabin space and seating provisions for up to a three-person crew

  • Available National Cush-N-AireŽ air-suspended driver and passenger seats

  • Optional 5-way adjustable roof vent for maximum fresh air ventilation

  • PacBrake Exhaust Brake option for supplemental braking power with reduced    wear on service-brake components

  • Standard taperleaf front springs and shock absorbers, for a smooth,    cushioned ride

  • Single and dual fuel tank packages offering capacities from 45 to 200 gallons

  • Back-of-cab access to key checkpoints--oil dipstick and filler tube, coolant    reservoir, air restriction indicator, and more--for easy routine maintenance    without tilting the cab

  • Reliable electrical system, featuring crimped and soldered terminals to resist    vibration and corrosion, weather-sealed connectors, and dedicated pigtails for    vocational taps without cutting and splicing

  • Spring clamps retaining major coolant hoses, to prevent leakage from    temperature or pressure variation
