OK now since Y'all looked
Point is why is it taking Daimler Chrysler to produce one.
Since Daimler Benz is the key player you would think it would be almost a given.
When it comes to commercial vehicles, Daimler Benz has had a excellent track record.
They own
Freightliner,
Unimog, just to name a few big truck Mfg and a base for several RV Manufactures.
Here is what I would like to see:
A frame based on a medium duty Freightliner for 2 wheel drive and Unimog for 4 wheel drive
Optional styles of automatic & Manual Transmissions.
Exhaust brakes & provisions for multiple trailer hitch combinations.
A extended cap and or a 4 door.
8+ liters & 400HP
2WD and 4WD options
Optional Hi-Low and locking differentials
22.5 wheels
Various optional bed options and even a P/Up bed like the new
International XT series (which is a joke)
A payload of 4 tons and towing of 30K+
Good / quiet drivability at cruising speeds.
Lots of usable storage under all that flashy skin.
Yes it will not sell like a 2500/3500 but for the person who needs a bit more out of a truck besides a plush inside with DVD and more of a workhorse to keep the Dodge Cummins heritage alive.
