Yes they did. It's new "new" 22,000 pound GVW Workhorse UFO. The new 22KUFO comes in 208 & 228 inch wheelbases and it is hoped that it will attract interest from the manufacturers that clearly see that their customers want to go camping and not homing. The 22KUFO is ideally suited for smaller Class A RVs in the 33 to 35 foot range. The only downsides are minor. There's a reduction in fuel capacity from 100 to 75 gallons and the adjustable brake and gas pedals have been deleted. In my opinion the vehicle might be delivered with steel wheels which will further reduce the cost. All of the other key systems that comprise a UFO remain in place like the WABCO controlled Quadraulic brakes, 255 sized tires, WISE, Allison 2000 series 6 speed and the 8.1L engine. At this time I can't comment on who will build on the 22KUFO however it is hoped that manufacturers will choose to use the new UFO and deliver smaller coach bodies to the customers that absolutely refuse to drive anything larger than a 35 foot coach.
