Not surprising, it's just a Ford cab on a Freightliner chassis now anyway. In the last couple years the only advantage they had over a regular Freightliner was the old Ford Louisville cab - which was really sweet back in '98 but is kinda dated now.

There goes the Sterling Bullet as well as the frame supplier for the Dodge 4500/5500 . The frame for those trucks is "engineered and built " by Sterling .
