Description[]
This casting was introduced in 2001 as part of the Pavement Pounders series. The name "Cab Forward Truck" is unofficial, as none of the transporter castings from these series were named. It is modeled as a futuristic truck with the cab in front of the engine, hence "cab forward". The cab was used with 3 different trailer designs over its lifespan. The original trailer is an enclosed trailer with a ramp integrated into the rear 3rd of the trailer. The second trailer features a separate crate for transporting vehicles and an arm for lifting the crate on / off the trailer, it was shared with Litt-Haul. The last trailer is a basic enclosed box trailer with a rear door that doubles as a ramp, taken from the 2011 release of Rig Dog although with the wheels changed to match the cab.
