WOW! Imagine that, Sterling's Medium duty Chassis Cab answer to Lincoln's 1/2 ton Mark LT! Talk about platform sharing!!


Sterling Bullet = Dodge Ram 4500/5500 Chassis Cab (Chrysler/dodge owns Sterling)

Ford F-150 = Lincoln Mark LT ( Ford owns Lincoln)


PS. the Lincoln Mark LT is on its way out in 09', better get em will their hot, NOT!!!!!

Dont forget my other favorites:

Ford Ranger = Mazda B-series:



Mercury Mountaineer = Ford Explorer:


Lincoln Navigator = Ford Expedition:




And finally the Chevy Tahoe = GMC Yukon = The Cadillac Escalade:

STOP IT ! STOP IT . Sterling is owned by Freightliner LLC which will have its name changed to Daimler Trucks North America LLC . http://www.ttnews.com/articles/baset...?storyid=18460 .

There you go! That makes my point even better thanks!!

Only thing different on these things is the lipstick! Whatever happened to actual competition between brands? Even when under the same roof they used to compete against each other!

The problem is with service . Cerebus is going to close a lot of Dodge/Chrysler dealerships.
