Just bought a 2017 Ram 5500 at work. We need a 19,500# truck for what I do. The ONLY other optionThe ONLY other option is Kenworth and Peterbilt. Our company always bought Fords but never again. If we could have waited we may have brought a new Chevy. Couldn't wait that is why we have the Ram.

So yes, I'd say GM is about to find an opening.

Try Freightliner Business Class, not Paccar. Freightliner is the undisputed leader in medium duty cab and chassis trucks. You need to research before posting....

I did research before posting. Not sure why we need smartallec comments such as yours. 8 months ago my research proved that Freightliner and Navistar DID NOT offer a 19,500# truck.

Obviiously you have some issue that I don't really care about. KW and Pete don't either. Freightliner offers business class 5,6 and 7 cabs and chassis btw.

You need to do your homework. Have a nice day btw.

I did the research. Freightliner did not offer a lo-pro truck when we were shopping. Facts are facts. And you have provided none.

This is one of several GM/Navi joint venture projects, this one for medium duties. Each will have their version both using GM supplied powertrain components while Navistar will likely take the lead on the chassis. Some of the outer trim will be different to distinguish one from the other much like the current Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra have minor differences.

Navistar Grill

Camo is used to hide some of the details and it also avoids the issue of having your soon to be released vehicle showing dirt, scratches, dents, etc. The test mules get a lot of abuse and the manufacturers don't want the first memorable images to clearly show the "war wounds" suffered during the test mule phase. It also avoids the need to use care in finishing and painting the test mule panels.

Why do thy put the Zebra graphics on the prototypes? It doesn't make them invisible.
