@clifflandmark that link is a 132SD. Its no longer in production and is a glider kit now. Both the 122SD and the 132SD are Coronado's. The 122SD just dropped the Coronado name a while back and only goes by 122SD.

I don't believe the first generation Coronado 132 (2002-2010 / Glider) carried the SD moniker as it was purely marketed toward the on-highway side. That came with the second generation with the Coronado being marketed as both Vocational and On-highway.

SD stands for severe duty, which is Freightliner's vocational lineup.

The long hood (132SD) wasn't made for very long, I think it ended production in 2016 but production of the 122SD continues.

You could be right on the SD label, but its still a Coronado which is the main point.

SD is a marketing term, nothing more...same frame rails, suspension etc etc etc

I walked, walked and saw a store with different tickets. I went up to him, and there I found a ticket FOR MARS !!! It even cost $ 500, I bought it!
And then it turned out that this was not a ticket to Mars, but an ordinary piece of paper on which is written "TICKET TO MARS"
END! However, SCS sounds are not 100% accurate...

First gen was the Coronado then second gen became Coronado II/122SD with the updated facelift and interior.

Coronado II and 122SD are the same just a name change by Freightliner.

Hello everyone, I have a question that surely some of you will know the answer to, because the fifth wheel of the Cascadia is located so far back? in comparison with the other trucks in the game and in comparison with the same truck in the traffic? I imagine that the trailer covers both axles of the truck to avoid dirtying the space between the trailer and the cab, right? also note unusual space on the axles of a trailer

I thank you to whom can explain me why this happens or maybe it is a small mistake in the modeling of the truck? because Peterbilt, Volvo and Mack do not have this problem, International, WS and Kenworth also have the fifth wheel far behind

In real-life, the Freightliner Cascadia has an air-controlled sliding fifth wheel. The driver can adjust the fifth wheel position to suit their needs, whether that be the swing depth clearance of the trailer (allowing enough space so that the trailer won't hit the back of the cab when turning), weight distribution of the load (changing the amount of weight the trailer is putting on the drive axles versus the trailer axles), minimizing road spray from the drive axles, etc.
