Fully customizable B and C-panels accommodate a wide variety of vocational needs. New driver comforts found inside include additional cabin storage, two permanent cup holders, and options for 12V or USB charging ports.

Changes to the Model 520 are highlighted by the all-new, best-in-class 7” digital display found in the center of the instrument cluster, which includes conventional speedometer, tachometer, and water and oil temperature gauges. Using an intuitive card system, the display is able to relay important information to the driver at a glance, such as ADAS, PTO status, digital gauges, trip summary, drive summary, and systems check. Drivers navigate through the different cards using a knob located to the right of the steering column.
The Model 520 added electronic stability control in September 2020 and is now available with Bendix Fusion with side objection detection, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control with auto resume, speed sign recognition, and safety direct integration.
