Descriptions
Enter the Dodge MAXXcab concept truck, the world's first Passenger Priority truck, which was unveiled at the 2000 North American International Auto Show in Detroit today. DaimlerChrysler's Dodge MAXXcab is a true pickup truck - but one with cab-forward design and saloon-like ride, handling, space, comfort and luxury.
The Dodge MAXXcab concept vehicle doubles as an office-on-wheels or as a mobile daycare centre, while still offering a half-ton payload and enough loadbed space for weekend projects and hobby equipment. The bed measures 52.7" long by 56.7" wide by 24" deep - wider and deeper than today's full-size truck boxes - and comes with an integrated picnic table and chairs for the occasional spur-of-the-moment tailgate party.
The driver âInfotronicâ system accommodates all data and information needs while away from the office. The centre console houses a toaster-style pop-up âplug-and-playâ laptop computer with liquid crystal displays in the instrument panel and in the rear of the console itself.
A voice recognition system allows the driver to access the mobile office screens and the Internet for real-time weather updates, and traffic information and e-mail. Voice commands also control the vehicle's navigation and diagnostics systems and telephone.
In the rear, three minivan-style, built-in child safety seats accommodate kids of all ages while an âEdu-tainmentâ system with DVD player, Internet access and a hand-held sketch pad will keep them busy. The middle rear seat is power-controlled from the front doors. This allows for the parents to move the seat close to the front seats and create a âkid-cocoonâ. It also makes it easier for the front passenger to tend to an infant. A small overhead âkid-viewâ camera monitors the rear cabin.
MAXXcab's exterior design, with its short front and rear overhangs and cab-forward stance, reflects the appearance of semi-trucks. Its high beltline, strong body feature line, tall bumpers and large wheel flares give this concept the bold presence of a cab-over truck. While extremely roomy inside, overall length is just 2.5 inches larger than the Dodge Grand Caravan minivan.
The Dodge MAXXcab is finished in Butane Blue Pearl paint. Eighteen-inch wheels and tyres and independent short-and-long-arm front and rear suspension with custom torsion bars give MAXXcab smooth, saloon-like ride and handling. Custom cross members allow for maximum passenger and cargo volume. Added Gale: "The MAXXcab concept truck is still a Dodge Truck with all its capability. Passenger Priority does not mean cargo requirements were forgotten."
