Word I got on one of the Duramax Forums was that the new trucks would be in the Heavy Duty Class, with nothing in the Medium Duty (4500) class.
Could make me look towards Ford or Ram 450/4500 for my next TV.
Maybe correct as Isuzu is rebadging some of their lighter LCF trucks as Chevrolet MDT's will be a Chevrolet petrol engine as well. I think US GM has signed contracts with Navistar and Isuzu
This rebadging has been going on for a long time before the mdt side was shut down, along with recently in the last couple years with the 6.0 4l80e/6l90e trans option. From DOT class 3 to 4, maybe the 5s. Have not looked real close at specs in awhile. I would suspect the Navistar rigs will be a conventional cab vs the lcf that Isuzu does. I even remember when I could have bought a 350 in an Isuzu!
