  Not sure on height but Highland Park has some viaducts that I would guess make the purchase of a truck tough. I’ve always thought that the mid mount is lower. I know Oak Park has a low profile rear mount, but seems like most do mid mount when height is an issue.

  Then Pierce said everyone should get a vaccine and everyone got one.

  Mid mounts were often criticized then Pierce came out with this Ascendant and peoples opinions changed.
