Sterling Acterra features industry’s largest interior crew cab

Sterling has announced the addition of the Acterra Crew Cab option, including 113 inches of space from front to rear cab wall, to its line of medium-duty vocational trucks.

The new Acterra Crew Cab is 15 inches longer on the inside than any other factory crew cab on the market today, the company says. It offers significantly increased overall headroom and legroom due to a flat floor front to back and a tall concave steel roof. The Crew Cab also features a monocoque, all-welded steel cab construction, reinforced with extensive use of corrosion-resistant galvanized steel panels.

Full-length exterior cab steps and grab handles are conveniently placed on the outside of the cab and inside each door to further aid entry. Standard fixed or optional air ride seating for front passengers, plus a standard full-length three-person bench seat in the rear, has also been added.

The Acterra Crew Cab also features multiple diesel engine options, including the standard MBE900 engine, rated from 170 hp to 300 hp, and the optional Caterpillar 3126 and Cummins ISL and ISC, with available ratings from 190 hp to 350 hp. Available transmissions include those from DaimlerChrysler Powersystems, Eaton-Fuller and Allison. The Acterra Crew Cab features a 163-inch BBC and is available with gross vehicle weight ratings from 19,000 lb to 46,000 lb.
