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!

Think there's a fair amount of speculation given that there is little info on what the new GM trucks will be like....at this time.

I'm assuming there will be both medium duty (4500, 5500) and some 'lighter' heavy duty (6500, 7500) truck models available.

I'd hold off (if you can) on making a final decision (450/4500) level truck, till you see the actual production GM's out ...in what appears will be 2017.

I'm been wondering about that. I pretty much figured the would run the Navistar chassis. Any idea if it will look like the old TopKick? Or will it be a new hood on the Navistar cab?

Sounds like a good combo!

Looking forward to seeing them. Bigger GM trucks have been missed around here. We had two Chevy dealers that used to sell a lot of them.
