Freightliner has introduced the new Coronado SD, designed for severe duty applications, and an updat-ed on-highway Coronado. Both models come with a choice of four engines: the Detroit Diesel DD13, DD15, DD16 or the Cummins ISX. The Coronado SD, which will replace the FLD SD, comes with a choice of Eaton and Allison transmis-sions, and transmission power take-offs are optional. The front axles are rated from 12,000 to 22,000 pounds, and the rear axles have capacities of 23,000 to 70,000 pounds, including TurfTrac rear axle sus-pension. Tag and pusher axles are available. The aluminum cab is secured with Henrob rivets, which prevent leaking, has bonded 2-piece wind-shields and has a chrome-plated aluminum handle on the hood. The dashboard has been redesigned, and a fully equipped sleeper is optional. The on-highway Coronado features traditional styl-ing, new technology and improved aerodynamics. It has a one-piece fiberglass hood, a stainless steel grille, a chrome-plated handle, new headlights and a two-piece windshield. Dual chrome steel intakes positioned on either side of the hood are standard on the new model. The aluminum cab has noise panels in the floor, front wall and on the sides and back panel, as well as double-sealed doors. Oregon burl wood trim accents the dashboard.

Removable dash panels provide access to electrical and HVAC components.
