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!!!!!

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!
