Again only Cats name is on the lift cat doesn't build it. As far as bells and whistle equals performance. I have seen the comparison test done against mitz ,cat ,Nissan ,and Toyota. The VX was faster and moving the product , cut loading time in half. Yes it loaded one 53 foot trailer and was half way thru the second trailer. They even swapped operators to satisfy management from thinking it was the operators it was the same. They also did fuel consumption test. The Yale burned less fuel than the competition. Call it bells and whistles if you like I call it saving the customer money in the long run. I have 2005 vx trucks still running today. With nearly 20,000 hours on them and still performing. Several have not had the brakes shoes replaced yet again saved the customer money. Those bells and whistles sound like value to me.
