While more complex in design, the drop-center frame was stronger (necessitated by the upgraded suspension); [8] the all-new layout also accommodated many upgrades, including mounting the cab seven inches lower; coinciding with easier entry, the redesign allowed for a lower center of gravity and improved stability ...

It was sufficiently powerful to regain up to 85% of normal ride ...
