Built for Vocational Performance!
The Freightliner M2 112 was engineered to perform in demanding work environments where durability, ease of operation, and uptime are critical.

Proven Detroit DD13 Power with Allison Automatic Transmission!! Reliable & Strong!!
Power comes from the dependable 450 HP Detroit DD13, one of the industry's most respected vocational engines. The DD13 delivers strong low-end torque, excellent fuel economy, and long-term durability, making it ideal for operators who spend their days hauling heavy loads, navigating traffic, or working in stop-and-go environments. Its balance of power and efficiency helps reduce operating costs while providing the performance contractors rely on.
The Allison RDS 6-speed automatic transmission was specifically designed for demanding vocational service. Known for its durability and smooth operation, the Allison eliminates clutch wear, reduces driver fatigue, and delivers seamless power in traffic, construction sites, and off-road conditions. It is the preferred transmission for operators who require dependable performance and ease of operation throughout the workday.

The 3.91 rear axle ratio provides an outstanding balance between pulling power and road speed. It offers stronger startability and improved grade-climbing ability than higher highway ratios while still allowing efficient operation on regional routes, making it an excellent choice for vocational work that requires both performance and versatility.
Air Ride Suspension!
The air ride suspension helps absorb road shock and vibration, improving driver comfort while protecting equipment and cargo from excessive impact. It also provides a smoother ride when operating with varying payloads, helping reduce driver fatigue and extending component life.
