Freightliner’s 108SD combines powerful, fuel-efficient engines, multiple PTO options, a chassis engineered for ease of upfit, and a weight-optimized design. This severe-duty truck takes toughness onto tight jobsites and down narrow streets. It’s powered by a Cummins® ISB or ISC engine and provides a wheel cut up to 50 degrees.
The 108SD offers the versatility you crave. Front engine, rear engine, and transmission PTO options allow flexibility for body hydraulic power needs. It offers integral front frame extensions in either six-inch or 24-inch lengths, giving a solid mounting point for hydraulic pumps, winches, hose reels, front stabilizers, and snow plows.
The 108SD also incorporates Freightliner’s proprietary SmartPlex™ Electrical System, which provides unmatched flexibility when configuring trucks for specific applications.
UNPRECEDENTED STRENGTH
Freightliner applies sophisticated engineering to the structural elements of its work trucks. First, its cabs are lightweight, yet extremely tough. Corrosion resistant aluminum is reinforced with e-coated steel and assembled to precise manufacturing tolerances with Henrob rivets and welded construction. This process produces a durable and safe cab that meets stringent A-pillar impact, rollover, and back wall impact tests.
The chassis includes a robust backbone with a complete offering of single and double channel frame rails. The result is a tensile strength of up to 120,000 psi and an RBM ratio up to 4.4 million inch-lbs per rail. This means the 108SD can handle whatever job is thrown at it, day after day, year after year.
Corrugated floor, roof, and back-of-cab panels add strength so the 108SD meets Swedish A-pillar test standards and SAE J2422 roof strength requirements. The 108SD is available in day cab, extended cab, or four-door crew cab configurations. Its 2,500 square-inch one-piece windshield offers outstanding jobsite visibility. Wide door openings with low step-in height mean safe entry and exit, and a steel firewall provides solid mounting of dash panel and driver controls.
