Freightliner Adds Online Spec Tool for M2 Trucks

Dec. 10, 2019

An online configurator tool from Daimler Trucks North America allows truck buyers to specify the company’s Freightliner M2 106 medium-duty truck at Freightliner.com.

“The M2 106 is an extremely versatile vehicle, offering numerous options to meet the unique needs of our vocational customers and their businesses,” said Mike McHorse, director of channel marketing, in a prepared statement. “Our new configurator provides an in-depth digital experience that will help customers learn about all of our different options so they can consider which specs are best suited for their specific application.”

The configurator tool uses an intuitive, step-by-step program that includes an array of available choices for dump, box van, utility and tow applications, with more options to be added in the future. Users can explore the vehicle inside and out, and select everything from interior seating options and upholstery to grille style and mirror options.

The configurator enables users to review powertrain options such as the Detroit DD5 and DD8 engines. Both engines also come standard with Detroit Connect Virtual Technician remote diagnostic service.

Customers can also use the configurator to review safety options, such as the WABCO OnGuardACTIVE collision mitigation system or Bendix AutoVue lane departure warning system.

The configurator tool can also be used to spec the Freightliner Cascadia heavy truck.
