GAFFNEY, SC – To be more specific, Newmar Corp. will be offering Freightliner Custom Chassis Corporation’s (FCCC) FRED chassis in its 2008 Grand Star motorhome-the newest addition to the Newmar Class A lineup. The Grand Star’s optional FRED chassis, powered by the new 6.7L Cummins ISB engine, has an impressive 340 horsepower and 660 lb.-ft. of torque-while offering consumers fuel economy up to 70 percent better than that of a traditional gasoline-powered chassis.
Other FRED features include a 55-degree wheel cut for greater maneuverability, a “flat floor” with no doghouse in the cockpit area, 26,000-lb. GVWR for increased floorplan options, and Freightliner’s nationwide network of more than 400 service locations.
