Chrysler builds Ford trucks.
I was surfing around and found out that DaimlerChrysler owns Fords heavy truck line, Sterling Trucks. When DC purchased Western Star and Frieghtliner, they purchased Sterling trucks.<br>Sterling now is what the Ford Louisville line used to be. You can even get them with Mercedes Benz diesels!!<br><br>Strange twist!!!!<br><br>Just thought I'd pass it on.

Well not exactly discontinue, but you can only buy them as daycabs now. No sleepers any more. Dump trucks, firetrucks delivery trucks, but no more longhaul.
