Found 'em, "Sterling Truck Corporation is a subsidiary of Daimler Trucks North America LLC, a Daimler company" found it here http://www.sterlingtrucks.com/_Asset...etBrochure.pdf Wonder what the towing cap is on these? Would this be it? "GCWR (lbs.) 26,000"

Sterling Trucks used to be the Ford heavy-duty trucks. Then they got out of the business so Daimler bought them. All the Bullet truck is is a rebadged dodge ram with the same capabilities. Problem is Daimler is closing Sterling down.
