and future models as well.
The raised hitches feature a king pin hole that should work with all current trailer models...and future models as well.

If you want to get picky, the term "Spine Car" wasn't registered by TTX until 1990 several years after both of your examples.Jason

Even by Trinity which delivered the first All Purpose spine cars in 1988, no?
But full props for being able to tell that Craig wasn't using capital letters when he was talking in the video. Jason

Likewise, the Front Runners weren't referred to commonly as spine cars...indeed that would be a very limited spine, perhaps a hobbit?
