It’s rated for 160,000 lbs gross combination weight and 80,000 lbs GVWR. It was spec’d for flatbed trailer work and is set up for 90% highway operation. Fontaine Modification upfitted the chassis with a hydraulic wet kit for low boy and hydraulic tail trailers, a Merritt cab rack, full stainless and aluminum axle fenders, and grille-mounted LED strobes. Engine & Drivetrain The engine is a Cummins X15 Production Series rated at 605 HP at 1,950 RPM, governed at 2,000 RPM, with 2,050 lb-ft of torque at 1,000 RPM.

The engine is paired with an Eaton RTLO20918B 18-speed manual transmission with an oil-to-water cooler, a chrome manual shifter, and a heavy-duty input bearing for PTO operation. The clutch is self-adjusting and pre-damped, with a remote lube hose for the release bearing mounted under the hood on the left rail. The driveline is an SPL350 HD-XL with two midship bearings, plus an SPL250 XL interaxle driveline for the tandem rear axles. Two single-acting electric-over-air PTO controls are mounted on the dash, and a 12-pin remote PTO/throttle provision is in the engine bay. Other engine equipment includes a Jacobs compression brake with controls on the right-hand column, predictive cruise control, a high-efficiency cooling system, and a 2-speed fan clutch for frequent starts and stops.
