The sleeper cab option offers 58 in. of floor-to-ceiling height, 70 in. of shoulder room and 18 in. of belly room, along with a large wraparound windshield and an optional larger rear window for increased job site visibility.

Caterpillar Acert engines are also now being made available for International's 5000 Series trucks this year.
