| 摘要 | A lead vehicle includes a chassis and front and rear wheel assemblies supportively coupled to the chassis. A trailer coupling interface is mounted to the chassis and is configured to couple to a tow vehicle. The lead vehicle further includes one or more seals cooperatively including first and second side leg sections positioned on the chassis laterally outwardly of the trailer coupling interface and a cross section positioned forwardly of the trailer coupling interface. The one or more seals are configured to form a barrier between the chassis and a portion of the tow vehicle. | ||
