From its available High-Output 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 and Best-in-Class available base diesel torque to the Largest-in-Class available 14.5-inch infotainment touchscreen, this truck delivers real advantages you can use on I-41, around job sites in the Menomonee River Valley, and everywhere in between.
