Drivetrain and Suspension

As with most medium- and heavy-duty Freightliner trucks, the FL-70 used an Allison transmission; specifically, model MD (medium duty) 3060 with electronic shift control. The truck employed a Meritor front drive-965 (FD) front axle, which was rated at 10,000 pounds. The Meritor RS-21-145 single-drive axle was used in the rear, which had a weight rating of 21,000 pounds. An 11,00 pound-rated taper leaf suspension was used in the front, and a Freightliner Airliner suspension was used in the rear, which was capable of handling a cargo weight of 21,000 pounds.

Other Features

The FL-70's interior features included Bostrom air-suspension driver and passenger seats, air and heat with cab recirculation, and self-resetting circuit breakers. The motor came with a standard turbocharger, electronic self-diagnostics and reprogrammable vehicle operating parameters.
