    Wltp maybe? They knew they are working on new model anyway, so what was the point of spending so much money on older model. They just made all measurments on most popular spec.

    How to uncouple a trailer... for dummies
    Read it..............sad .
    Here full airbag control(so up and down) is standard.
    From what i read in that thread.................with you guys ,you are lucky if you have a dumpvalve.

    All the euro's have full electric control. The American brands have Dump valves.
    & the Japanese have a mix of both..

    What would be a useful application for full electronic control of ride height? I can't think of anything.

    Rear discharge tankers (which 98% are here,customer request)
    Truck high,trailer low.....no product left in tank.

    With airride,when they lift a full container,the airbags take a pounding unless you dump all the air out off them.
