Freightliner Custom Chassis XCR Tag Axle

In 2008, Freightliner Custom chassis is increasing production of its XCR Tag Axle chassis for larger up-scale diesel motorhomes. The company says this chassis platform will continue to grow into one of the dominant styles for RV coach manufacturers on 40-foot or larger class As.

Freightliner says the new rear radiator style utilizes a proprietary electronically-controlled fan clutch. The new cooling system is capable of up to 425 horsepower and 1,200 pounds of foot-torque to balance low-end acceleration with high-end power at low RPMs. The engine is paired with an Allison 3000MH transmission featuring electronic controls that conveniently allow checking fluid levels from the driver station. The GVWR of this platform is 44,600 pounds.

Other notable features include an “automatic load proportioning” system that automatically allocates weight distribution across the three axles for a smoother ride. It also features a 60-degree inside wheel cut by adding the optional double-wishbone ZF Independent Front Suspension for increased stability, improved steering and a tighter turning radius.

Also notable, Freightliner’s tag axle chassis features pneumatically-actuated disc brakes that are fade-resistant and ventilated for greater braking control during unexpected and quick stops. Freightliner offers a 3-year/50,000-mile transferable warranty with towing coverage, 100,000-mile coolant coverage and roadside assistance with no deductible.
