Is this the start of Workhorse again? Isuzu?
Is this the platform that may come back as the Workhorse chassis or will it come from something else? http://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/gm-to-return-to-us-medium-truck-market/ar-BBl8VZz?oci...

But was not the Ford chassis about $5000 less than the Workhorse chassis, I wonder want the price difference will be now.
When I bought mine, the W-22 was exactly $2,214 more than the Ford chassis on my build sheet from Georgie Boy. (That was back in 2004.) Wifey liked the lower doghouse on the Workhorse. I liked the Allison transmission. So, in my mind, I spent $2,213 to keep wifey happy (a relative bargain) and I got an Allison transmission for a dollar!!! LOL (An even bigger bargain. Gosh, I hope she doesn't read this. :) )
Anyway, it'll be nice to have competition again. The Ford chassis got better in the early 2000's because of the improvements Workhorse was making to their chassis. When you're the champ, it's easy to rest on your laurels unless some new contender is nipping at your heels. :) Workhorse back in the market should be a win-win for everyone.
