Finding a home on the big trucks

Anyone who thinks that they have a heavy-duty, oversized pickup truck will need to reassess their vehicle's place in the world in just a moment.

Our TracVision systems have often found homes on long-haul and large trucks. A year or so ago we profiled a husband and wife owner/operator team who put more than 1.2 million miles on their truck and their TracVision without missing a beat. hese have usually been our RV systems and we've seen a few already here at SEMA.

However, Freightliner Sportchassis, which offers "heavy duty" pickup trucks based on tractor trailer cabs, has gone all out. There are a reported 14 Freightliner Sportchassis vehicles at the show and all of them are equipped with TracVision A7 (with at least one also sporting TracNet 100).

Yeah, heavy duty pickup trucks are one thing but these vehicles apparently eat smaller trucks as appetizers. The really scary thing? There are 14 of these unbelievable trucks here at SEMA and we've only managed to find 8 of them. How on earth do you miss seeing something that big?
