Just remember, Ford is an active chassis, while Workhorse is a has been chassis. Parts are readily available for the Ford, can they say the same for the Workhorse.
Yes, I agree, the Workhorse was a very good chassis, but to say it was the "best in the industry" is IMO, a personal statement of that dealer without any basis in fact. Also, there was a very serious brake recall on the Workhorse chassis, so make darn sure it has been done, because as a dead chassis there is no recourse if it has not been accomplished.
There are several places that have any WH chassis part that you need. Fact is I never needed any chassis part and engine, transmission, rear end, braking, and suspension parts are readily available.
Keep in mind that even with a Ford RV chassis, many Ford dealers will not touch them and do not stock any chassis parts.
As with the WH, the parts that are most likely to break are available for the Ford engine and transmission at most auto parts stores.
