This Diesel knows how
to move you. Because superb road performance and prestige go hand in hand, we developed the R Series Diesel with our SmartChassis ™ engineering approach. And our diesel platform is so remarkable, nine out of 10 who test-drive it say they would buy it. We're confident you will, too. It's our concept of integrating every component for superior performance. Here are a few examples. |

Superior ride and handling. SmartChassis™
is how we used sophisticated computer simulations to design the
front and rear suspensions to work as a unit for optimal ride and
handling. This includes superb balance and stability plus
reduced noise and vibration. Reduced body roll. Major components work in unison to help the coach perform more like a high-end performance vehicle. We placed the air bags at the best possible position and moved the engine down, lowering the center of gravity to improve roll stability in corners. We also integrated dual rear leveling valves and attached a unique V-rod stabilizer at the highest point on the rear axle, reducing the coach's potential for body roll. You'll feel the difference as you negotiate corners, pass trucks or take on steep mountain roads. |

 Minimized
tail wag. We moved the engine and transmission eight
inches forward. This gives the tail less sideways
momentum when cornering and maneuvering, minimizing the "whipping
effect" and giving you predictable driving control.This meant we had to completely rethink the rear suspension and integrate an advanced, exclusive parallelogram suspension system. It permitted us to use short drive shaft while delivering a smoother, quieter ride.
