Why no 4X4 Medium Duties?

[FATCAT]

How come I never see any 4X4 Medium Duty trucks. Seems to me that there might be a market for 4X4: FL 60/70, Internation 4700/4900, Kenworth T300, Pete 330, and Sterling Acterra trucks.
Something in the 28K - 33K GVW size.

Is it that no one makes front drive axle for trucks of this size? The military has them.

Just seems to me that all this one-upsmenship by the big three each year or two is becoming a little tiresome. It would be nice to purchase something that would be more than big enough to pull the biggest 5th wheel trailer, never have to worry about the weight of stuff in the bed, and not have to depend on aftermarket items to squeek out some more power to do the job (risking damage to transmissions and drivelines).

I can only wonder what it would be like if Pacar or Kenworth got into the "pickup truck" game in the early '90. A nice 330 or T300 with a ISL/M or Cat in the 300-400 hp range with real truck transmissions and suspensions, real crew cab ... with 4/6-wheel drive! (single axle DRW rearend) ... something that would definately be overkill and you would never have to worry about overtaxing it.

Just think of it ... the day you go down to the dealership to pick up the new truck you ordered ... a red Pete 330 ISL 7-speed 350hp 4X4 crewcab with 12' dump bed, chrome stacks & grill, etc.... You'd probably have to bring an extra pair of pants and underware with you for the moments just after you get the keys from the dealer.

Man, Pacar or Kenworth would be cleaning up by now!!!
