the Ford thing makes sense - I dont think that Oshkosh makes their own engines.

The new postal truck looks a bit small for the base ford 4 cyl, but I agree that if they were smart - thats what they'd do. small, simple, lots of room in the engine bay, mature engine platform (do they have a NA 4cyl newer than teh "Duratec" ?

If they were not smart, they'd use a current 5 or 6 cyl Diesel that Ford markets. We'll see.
