Sterling offers all-wheel drive conversion

Sterling said the option meets the needs of commercial truck buyers across a wide range of vocations, including construction, utilities and municipal and emergency services. It features a technologically-advanced offset front drive carrier axle and four-shaft transfer case, designed to ensure a minimal increase in vehicle height of only four to six inches over standard height.

Coupled with no step frame modifications, the conversion retains frame integrity and durability, maintains a low center of gravity and eliminates up to 300 lbs. of weight, which allows for an increased payload capacity.

For operator convenience, the all-wheel drive system is engaged through two electro-pneumatic switches located on the dash.
