Workhorse Custom Chassis is relaunching its FasTrack program that provides integrated walk-in trucks under the Workhorse badge. Since 2000, Workhorse has sold standard models of walk-in trucks with one Workhorse invoice and one Workhorse warranty for both body and chassis.
By eliminating separate chassis-and-body orders and warranties, while providing a list of popular options, the FasTrack program creates a walk-in truck that's easy for dealers to stock, and easy for customers to buy — often right off the lot.
The new FasTrack truck for 2007 is a different truck, now with standard bodies by Utilimaster, and the new W42 chassis from Workhorse. It's more maneuverable, with a 50-degree wheel cut, and gives the driver better control with high-performance Brembo brakes and a four-wheel Meritor WABCO ABS system. It also offers a better ride with its new front-and-rear parabolic taper leaf suspension springs with custom tuned 35mm shock absorbers.
FasTrack models come in five cargo body lengths of 10, 12, 14, 16, and 18 feet, with wheelbases of 125, 133, 157, and 178 inches and gross vehicle weight ratings of 10,000 and 14,500 lbs. Either a 4.8L or 6.0L GM Vortec gas engine powers the trucks. Manufacturing of the new FasTrack models has begun as of July 2006.
