The GM Chevy truck division is collaborating with Naviatar/International to build a 4500 & 5500 Medium duty trucks. I don't know which engine will be used, but my best guess is the 6.6 Duramax mated to an Allison Transmission. I personally know of fleet customers are moving away from The Dura-Star with the MaxxForce 7 engine. I'm thinking that the new Medium Duty Truck will be composed of the best of G.M. & the best of Navistar and as a joint venture, manufacturing cost should come down. Learned this on: tfltruck.com. But the big question is, will some RV manufacturers use this cab/chassis to build a C+ or Super C motor home on. Personally, that would be right up my alley! What say you? Bags.
They are trying to enter the Australian market again with the ProStar. Same Truck with a CAT engine was sold several years ago as.a CAT Truck, was not a success.
