Freightliner Century 112/120 Fairings & Steps

Frequently Asked Questions About Freightliner Century 112/120 Fairings & Steps

Will these fairings and steps fit my Freightliner Century 112 or 120?

Products in this category are designed to fit the Freightliner Century 112 and 120 models, but fitment can vary depending on the exact year, cab configuration, and whether your truck has factory or aftermarket components already installed. Always check the listed specifications and, if you are unsure, reach out to our team with your VIN or truck details before ordering.

What materials are these fairings and steps made from, and how durable are they?

Fairings are typically molded from durable plastic or fiberglass composite material designed to withstand road vibration, temperature changes, and everyday wear, while steps are usually constructed from aluminum or steel for strength and long-term durability. Material choice affects both weight and impact resistance, so check the product description for specifics on the item you are considering.

Do these fairings and steps come primed, painted, or unfinished?

Most fairings are sold unpainted or in a primer-ready finish so they can be color-matched to your truck, while steps are commonly available in raw aluminum, diamond plate, or a protective coated finish. If a specific finish or paint match is important to you, check the individual product listing or contact us to confirm what is included before you buy.

Can I install these myself, or do I need a professional?

Many fairings and step kits are designed to bolt on using existing mounting points, making them manageable for someone comfortable with basic hand tools and a weekend project. However, some installations may require drilling, fabrication, or alignment adjustments, so if you are not confident in your mechanical skills or the fit looks complex, having a professional installer handle it can save time and avoid costly mistakes.

Will adding aftermarket fairings or steps affect my truck's aerodynamics or fuel economy?

Fairings are generally designed to improve airflow around the cab and reduce drag compared to running without them, which can have a positive effect on fuel economy, while steps are functional components meant for safe entry and exit rather than aerodynamic improvement. Keep in mind that any aftermarket part changes the truck's original airflow pattern to some degree, so results can vary based on your specific setup and driving conditions.
