The Classic XL: Uncompromising Style.

      Built only for those who demand the exceptional.

Owner-operators are an independent breed who expect the exceptional.  And the Freightliner Classic XL is the favorite among truckers with the fiercest independent streak of all. 

The Classic XL makes no compromises to fads or to the faint of heart.  There's nothing bashful about its blunt, powerful lines.  About its capacity for the biggest engines on the road today.   Or about its ability to offer all the chrome, polish and custom paint features that you want.

This is the conventional with the longest hood on the highway: an imposing 132 inches BBC (bumper-to-back-of-cab).  With its traditional bull nose, its muscular design and all the interior refinements for which Freightliner is famous, the Classic XL is a legendary performer inspired by independents and built the way you want it.

Easily accommodating the most robust engine options - up to the 550 horsepower Caterpillar 3406E - the Classic XL has the muscle to make the grade and the suspension systems to level the roughest road.  Having earned its reputation among some of the most demanding and successful independents running, the Classic XL's durability is proven and its credentials are beyond doubt.
