2000 Sterling L7500 Tank Truck – Only 10,600 Miles – 7.2L Caterpillar Diesel – McLellan Tank 2000 Sterling L7500 Tank Truck – 10,600 Miles – 7.2L Caterpillar 6-Cylinder Diesel – McLellan Tank Here is a unique opportunity to put a heavy-duty, low-mileage Sterling L7500 tank truck to work. This 2000 Sterling L7500 has just 10,600 miles and is powered by the well-regarded 7.2L Caterpillar 6-cylinder diesel, giving this truck the kind of durable, heavy-duty powerplant that has made Caterpillar-powered work trucks popular with contractors, municipalities, agricultural operations, and equipment operators. The L7500 is a substantial Class 7 commercial chassis designed for demanding vocational applications. Unlike a typical pickup-based water truck, this Sterling gives you a true heavy-duty platform with the capacity and chassis strength to serve as a dedicated water, dust-control, irrigation, construction-support, or specialty-service truck. LOW MILEAGE – CATERPILLAR DIESEL POWER One of the standout features of this truck is the extremely low 10,600-mile odometer reading. Power comes from the 7.2L Caterpillar diesel, commonly identified with the Caterpillar 3126 family used extensively in medium- and heavy-duty commercial trucks of this era. Other L7500 examples equipped with this engine are documented with the 7.2L six-cylinder Caterpillar diesel, with outputs in the approximately 220–250 horsepower range depending on configuration. The 7.2L Caterpillar is particularly appealing in a vocational truck because it was designed around commercial-duty applications rather than light-duty automotive use. Parts, service knowledge, and Caterpillar familiarity are widespread throughout the heavy-equipment and commercial-truck industries. This is the type of powertrain that makes sense for someone looking for a truck that can be maintained and kept working for years rather than a disposable light-duty platform. McLellan TANK The truck is equipped with a McLellan tank, identified as: Manufacturer: McLellan Model: 4/24/2000 Serial Number: 99W369 Tank type: Heavy-duty water/service tank Approximate capacity: 4,000 gallons based on the Model 4 designation Construction: Heavy-duty commercial tank construction Application: Water hauling, dust control, irrigation, construction support, and related liquid-handling applications McLellan is a recognized manufacturer of water tanks for truck applications. Their tank designs are built specifically for demanding commercial water-truck service, with features such as internal baffling, heavy-duty tank supports, fill arrangements, and reinforced construction depending on configuration. McLellan's documented water-tank lineup includes 2,000-, 2,500-, 3,600-, and 4,000-gallon standard configurations, with larger custom tanks also available. The exact tank configuration, plumbing, pump equipment, spray heads, valves, and operating capacity should be verified by the buyer prior to purchase.

Exact specifications vary by chassis configuration. A GREAT FOUNDATION FOR A WATER TRUCK The combination of a low-mileage Sterling L7500 chassis, Caterpillar diesel, automatic transmission, and McLellan tank makes this a particularly interesting platform for businesses that need to move and distribute large quantities of water.
