In my world full of Care Bears, the difference between a Ford CL-9000 and a CLT-9000 was "just"... the "T", because of the "Tandem rear axle". This idea seemed to be confirmed by some fast researches with pictures search engines, but while looking in the IMCDb:
Said to be CL-9000 trucks
In CLT-9000 trucks page
I read some brochures, but nowhere is written "T because Tandem" indeed. And if I'm not mistaken, the tables of technical details say that the 2 biggest CL-9000 model had the same dimensions (wheelbase, Bumper to Back of Cab, Cab to Axle, etc.) than the 2 smallest CLT-9000 ones. So if all of these models had tandem rear axles, telling the difference between the 2 trucks becomes really funny. Cars and trucks makers like to simplify things...
Is there something special on the cabs, as these ones (and some others) were id as CLT-9000 without any view of the rear axles nor cab length?
In a nutshell: can anyone explain me the real difference between the two models?
