What potential does this truck have for municipalities?

IMO if 33,000 gvw is max, not too attractive if you are talking about typical municipal dump/plow chassis-so that says 10 /23 or 12/20 axles .  Even Ford in a 750, offers  a 14 front and  a 23 rear with a spring package that I think takes the rear to 26.  

And there are plenty of people that feel even a 14,000 front is not enough to handle the typical angling plows that are used today.

Hey Volvo. News flash- Change(offer) different springs, shackles, crossmembers  rear end. It ain't that difficult on a class 7 truck. Frame appears to be adequate.🙂
