Newer rigs from 2000 or so are almost exclusively Ford V10's as GM got out of the RV business.

You haven't kept up on the business. Workhorse was a huge supplier of MH chassis using the 8.1L GM and the Allison Transmission. They made many MH chassis until GM dropped production of the 8.1 motor. They are still making chassis for UPS trucks and many other trucks. I have had 460 Fords, 454 Chevy's and now the 8.1/Allison combo. This is the best we have had and have been doing this since 1969.
