What a weird looking contraption. Are these a thing in America?

Oh, and what are the red and yellow switches in the middle and low down on the dash?

Is there a bonafide legitimate use for this vehicle? What sort of person needs a pickup truck for daily pickupy use that is also capable of towing 20,000+ lbs?

if I had to guess they look like those of an air brake system you'd find on a big rig or school bus

It's a medium duty truck, what'd you expect?

I've not seen one of these that was done with a SuperCab instead of a Crew Cab before either. Generally you've got to go knock on the door of a big conversion company to get the cool interior.

Clearly you've never had to haul your herd of life-sized concrete Hippos to the park to play every morning...

I was just thinking the exact same thing.

And it looks hideous.

google, google...

Yes, that's it. American trucks all seem to have red and yellow knobs, others manage without and have a lever instead.

Here we go, American Volvo first then everyone else's:

I asked Mr Google earlier.

Here we go: The colours must be a regulatory thing because they're not used on my side of the pond.
