Our Chassis
The XBR chassis is a durable chassis that
delivers a smooth ride and precise
handling characteristics.
The XBR diesel chassis is Freightliner's most popular diesel pusher and the model that made us the number-one preferred diesel chassis by motorhome manufacturers. We have increased the structure so that the chassis withstands the everyday use of mid-size coaches.
Specifications listed below are the standard specifications and optional equipment for Freightliner's XBR chassis series. Individual XBR model specifications may vary from the standard specifications/options listed. For more detail, view the model specifications on the Freightliner website.
All specifications listed on this Web site are subject to change without notice. For specifications on a particular XBR model and make, go to Model Specifications, or consult your XBR dealer.

WE KEEP YOU OUT OF TIGHT SPOTS.
Greater Maneuverability. A key factor in the popularity of Freightliner’s chassis is our industry-leading wheel cut. Many manufacturers still offer only a 45-degree wheel cut or less, while Freightliner’s new, optional ZF™ Independent Front Suspension (IFS) provides a 56-degree wheel cut that offers you a better turning radius. Winding roads? No problem. Even sharp turns, left or right, are easy to handle. And, when it comes to negotiating tight parking lots, campsites or service stations, Freightliner’s 56-degree wheel cut lets even novice drivers do it with ease and confidence.
If you’d like to see for yourself how FCCC’s wheel cut stacks up against the competition, you can visit the FCCC Web site, www.freightlinerchassis.com, and take the wheel cut challenge. This video-game-like challenge gives you the opportunity to “maneuver” RVs with a 40-degree, a 45-degree and FCCC’s 56-degree wheel cut around a tight circle while trying to avoid obstacles along the path.
Why do more bus manufacturers turn to Freightliner Custom Chassis than to any other?
Because they know Freightliner is the industry leader in diesel pusher chassis—for a number of reasons.
Freightliner Custom Chassis Many Competitors’ Chassis only offer 50° 45° 40° turning angle.
