The 132 designation refers to the 132-inch bumper-to-back-of-cab measurement, a figure that defined the truck's proportions and its presence on the highway. IXO Models, through their TR truck series, has translated this identity into a \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:43\u003c\/span\u003e replica that sits comfortably within any serious commercial vehicle collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"coronado-132-class-8-conventional\"\u003eA Class 8 Conventional Built for the Long Haul\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Freightliner Coronado 132 is a product of Daimler Trucks North America, built to meet the demands of long-haul operators requiring a large sleeper configuration and a conventional hood layout. Power came from a choice of the Detroit DD15 or Cummins ISX15 inline-6 diesel units, with outputs reaching up to 560 hp in top specification. The 2018 model year truck met EPA 2010 and GHG14 emissions standards, and production continued until Freightliner announced the model's discontinuation in 2019.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"show-truck-culture-and-the-coronado-legacy\"\u003eChrome, Shows, and the End of an Era\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Coronado 132 became a fixture of the American show-truck circuit, regularly appearing at the Mid-America Trucking Show in highly polished, chrome-heavy presentations. Its long hood and clean proportions made it a natural platform for custom builds and fleet showcase vehicles. When Freightliner announced its discontinuation in 2019, the Coronado 132 closed a chapter in North American trucking — making the 2018 model year the final production specification, and giving any accurate replica of it a clear documentary value for collectors of working vehicles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"ixo-tr-series-1-43-scale-model\"\u003eIXO TR Series: A Benchmark for \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:43\u003c\/span\u003e Truck Modelling\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIXO Models has built one of the most comprehensive \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:43\u003c\/span\u003e truck ranges available, covering both American and European heavy haulage subjects through their TR sub-line. This Coronado 132 release sits within that series, representing the 2018 final-year specification. IXO's TR range is widely regarded in Europe as the reference for American truck subjects at this scale, and the Coronado 132 is among the very few replicas of this specific model available at \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:43\u003c\/span\u003e from any manufacturer — a direct consequence of the truck's discontinuation and the narrow window of production it occupied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"display-cabinet-american-truck-collection\"\u003ePlacing It in a Collection\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Coronado 132 pairs naturally with other American long-hood conventionals in a \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:43\u003c\/span\u003e display — particularly the Peterbilt 389 and Kenworth W900, which share the same chrome-and-hood aesthetic and occupy the same era of North American trucking culture. Within the IXO TR range itself, it sits alongside subjects such as the Mack Anthem and Volvo VNL, forming a coherent cross-brand survey of modern Class 8 operators. Collectors focused on the Daimler Trucks North America portfolio will find the Coronado 132 an essential piece alongside Western Star subjects from the same stable.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IXO MODELS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56593993007488,"sku":"TR211.22","price":51.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0922\/8828\/7104\/files\/vroomi-tr21122-front34-v2.jpg?v=1792745598","url":"https:\/\/vroomimodels.com\/de\/products\/freightliner-coronado-tractor-truck-3-assi-2018-184448","provider":"Vroomi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
