| 2020 Canadian reference | 155-149 | 195-149 |
|---|---|---|
| GVWR | 14,500 lb | 19,500 lb |
| Wheelbase | 149.6 in | 149.6 in |
| Research focus | Working capacity with a lighter chassis | Axle weights and body equipment on the higher-rated chassis |
Equal wheelbase does not mean equal capacity
Use the dated spec sheets to identify each reference, then weigh the completed trucks. Body construction, refrigeration, liftgate and permanent equipment can consume a meaningful part of the available rating. Also compare front and rear weights: a total below GVWR can conceal an overloaded axle.
Inspect the cab-over features on both
A qualified inspection should include cab tilt and latching, mounts, steering, cooling-system access and evidence of leaks beneath the cab. Check the cargo floor and loading equipment under realistic use. This comparison concerns diesel standard cabs; a hybrid or crew-cab example needs a separate equipment and documentation review.
