After reading this post, my reaction was:
Come on! We're talking about a truck, not a passenger car where we look for dead pedals and vanity mirrors. These would be of more interest than mentioning about the leg vent and roof hatch:
Engine spec - number of cylinders, capacity (my guess is it's the H-series i6 5.7L EDC BS3)
Tonnage - I assume it's a 40T tractor
Gear box options available - 6-speed, 9-speed
Application - Tractor, Puller, Tipper?
Suspension setup - bogie suspension at the rear? anti-roll bar?
Cab setup- suspended, tiltable, airconditioned, etc Quote:

AL has been manufacturing the U-trucks for a long time, and you can find many of them on the roads, the recent addition to the portfolio being the U-3718il. Quote:

When the laws are made stricter to enforce safety features, the market will demand factory-fitted cabs instead of locally fabricated ones. I guess there must be a move to implement such rules here
