i am naturally curious about the trend of things and what are the primary forces influencing them. i am not pushing any specific chassis, but i am curious about the dominance of sprinters in the 90" width 24' class C market over the last decade.
it seems like for much less cost, the bigger gas chevy or ford could have continued to serve the slimmer Cs while providing higher payload. is it sprinter's style, diesel, or what?
i've been youtubing sprinter, transit, and promaster Cs and like a lot of the features. i know LTV and PC offered a chassis choice on some slim C models in days past. PW's very well crafted new Plateau started on a ford E350 (?), but now it's on a Sprinter. What is gained/lost in this chassis switch?
