Sterling Trucks was a division of
Freightliner Trucks which, like Dodge, was owned by the former
DaimlerChrysler. The Bullet is a Class 4 and 5 truck and has a Gross Weight of for the Class 4 model and for Class 5. The chassis for the Bullet was designed for use with a variety of truck configurations, including dump, contractor, towing, and box trucks. The main difference between the Ram and
rebadged Bullet was a new front fascia and both 'Sterling' and 'Bullet' badging on the exterior of the truck. Both 2-Door Regular Cab and 4-Door Quad Cab models were available.

Aisin AS68RC heavy-duty automatic transmissions were offered (both transmissions were six-speed units), as was two-wheel-drive (rear-wheel-drive) or four-wheel-drive. Standard features included an A/M-F/M radio with single-disc CD/MP3 player and auxiliary audio input, a two-speaker sound system, full instrumentation, vinyl flooring, vinyl seating surfaces, forged steel wheels, black bumpers and front grille, bench seating, and manual windows and door locks.
