Two BBC references
T2/02 separates 112 and 120 BBC layouts, with 60- and 75-inch sleeper options. Neither sleeper length is overall vehicle length.

About this edition & its evidence
T2/02. The brochure distinguishes 112 and 120 BBC. Its 78 in door-to-door cab description concerns interior space, so it is not used as exterior body width. The advertised lightweight example is not a universal tare weight.

Bumper to back of cab (BBC)
Front bumper to the back of the driving cab. Excludes an additional sleeper; it is not overall tractor length.

Published for this reference; confirm the individual build.
Nominal BBC heading from the factory brochure. Sleeper dimensions and rear extenders are separate.
Original illustrative views; not to scale, a certified drawing or a selected-build rendering. Endpoints explain the measurements. Published values come from the cited reference, never from the image.

Planning to transport the truck?
Measure fixed exterior width and mirror width separately, plus overall length, the highest accessory, fifth-wheel height and actual transport weight. Interior bunk width is not exterior width.
03 / UNDER THE SKIN
Powertrain & chassis
Set-back steer axle · build-specific wheelbase. Read engine, gearbox and axle ratings together.
Numerical powertrain ratings need a dated configuration-specific source.
Documented cab options
- 60 in Aerodyne
- 75 in Aerodyne
Documented transmissions
Read the installed unit’s identification plate and build record.
The brochure distinguishes 112 and 120 BBC. Its 78 in door-to-door cab description concerns interior space, so it is not used as exterior body width. The advertised lightweight example is not a universal tare weight.
04 / MODELS, YEARS & CHANGES
One badge.
Different reference points.
Publication dates and launch milestones do not establish continuous model-year ranges. Match the VIN, production date and equipment era.
Inspection and build evidence
Inspect composite panel repairs, cab and sleeper seals, windscreen condition and fairing mounts. Verify the original powertrain and wheelbase rather than relying on a cab badge.
- VIN-linked factory build record and production date
- Engine and transmission identification plates
- Axle ratings, tyre ratings and fifth-wheel installation
- Physical measurements of the individual tractor
05 / PUTTING IT TO WORK
Match the trailer to the whole truck.
Use the actual axle ratings, tyres, fifth wheel and combination limits to assess a trailer. Sleeper, tank and fairing packaging also affect swing clearance and access.

Flatbed
Start with deck length, load placement, axle distribution and cab-to-trailer clearance.
Read the guide HIGHWAYTRAILERS.CAStep deck
Compare deck height, gooseneck geometry and the loaded combination’s height.
Read the guide HIGHWAYTRAILERS.CARGN / equipment hauling
Check neck compatibility, fifth-wheel loading, wet-kit requirements and the complete axle layout.
Read the guide HIGHWAYTRAILERS.CAHow trailer capacity works
Review the tractor, coupling, trailer, tyres and load as one combination.
Read the guidePulling a trailer
Confirm build-specific combination, axle, tyre and coupling ratings, kingpin and service connections, clearance and actual axle weights. GVW is the loaded truck; GCW is the loaded combination. Neither is trailer payload.
Moving the tractor as cargo
Give the carrier measured length, exterior and mirror widths, height, ground clearance and transport weight. Assess deck access, breakover, loaded height and securement together.
Deck height & loaded height ↗There is no single “T2000 towing capacity”.
The model badge, artwork and catalogue option selectors cannot rate an individual combination. Obtain the actual build limits and scale weights.

Sources & open questions
Reviewed September 7, 2026. Manufacturer figures remain tied to their stated reference; converted equivalents are rounded; original source units are retained. Application and inspection notes are editorial guidance.
Reference-specific evidence needed
- The brochure’s small dimension matrix needs a clearer factory drawing before additional values are assigned to measurement endpoints.
- Exterior body width, mirror width, overall length, accessory height and coupling height need build-specific evidence.
- A publication date does not establish every production-year boundary. Confirm the VIN and original order.
- No dated factory exterior paint palette has been verified; the colour selector changes the illustration only.
