With this do you think the days of medium duty trucks are somewhat numbered?
Medium Duty/Class 6 and 7, (think F600, F650 and F750) are the back bone of local deliveries. Most have a medium to large "box" mounted on them. Many are made into dump trucks. Very few would have ever been used as RV chassis.
Personally, I am very surprised that these local fleets have not switched over to the Ford chassis with the new 7.3L gasoline engine. Lower initial cost and lower operating costs, admittedly at lower payload.
Some might call the Ford E450 a "medium duty", but it is really at the very bottom of that scale. The F550-F600 woul make a much better RV chassis Class C motorhome chassis, except for the height and no pass through from the drivers area to the living area.
