New Dodge Van? freightliner

[TowPro]

Has anybody been seeing the new Freightliners that have the Dodge van front, with the box rear?



I see them as FEDEX trucks here in Phila, but have not heard one run yet, I bet they have an ISB in them! (will make a hell of a motorhome chassis).



I would love to see Dodge start back into the RV bussiness!



I checked the Freightliner site but there is nothing about them there.

it took a while to find a picture, but here it is.



One of the releases (from 6/2000) talked about a MB 5 cyl with 156 hp and a 5 speed auto. it really needs a Cummins!

Keep in mind this is an old press release, it may have a Cummins since it went into production. (one can hope)



It would make a great motorhome chassis if it had a Cummins!



Here is the old Press release

that'd be cool.

The 5. 9's might be a bit long for that design... MB "bomb"able??

(if you ask the right mech/tech, there ain't a motor on the planet that's not )
