Default Freightliner Sports Chassis SUV !!!

Got payload to haul, trailer to move, boat to launch, kids that are late for school and more vehicles than you can keep up with? Step up and scale down with the SportChassisTM RHA114TM.



Some manufacturers would have you to believe that their vehicles can do it all, comfortably. You are here, so we know that you know that is not true. Go to your nearest authorized SportChassis dealer and let us show you how our RHA114 really will do it all without sacrificing comfort, quality or safety.

What’s so special about the RHA114?

The all aluminum 114” body. Just look at its precision lines, flush door finish, convenient steps and running boards, welds that look like stacks of dimes and rugged treadplate deck.
It’s hand-laid paint job rivals or exceeds those shot by robots in both luster and durability.

The body’s cargo surface is 6 ½’ wide by 9 1/3’ long providing enough space to lay a king size mattress flat, and it comes standard with six (6) tie down rings.
The exterior storage compartments provide 20 cubic feet of closed storage space. This space is subdivided as follows:
Driver's Side

behind the cab, at the forward end of the body is 18.5"H x 44"W x 17.5”D, providing 8.24 cu. ft. of space.
behind the wheel well, is a single door compartment, 18.5"H X 9.75”W x 17.5"D, providing 1.83 cu. ft. of space.
Passenger's Side

behind the cab, at the forward end of the body is 18.5"H x 44"W x 17.5”D, providing 8.24 cu. ft. of space.
behind the wheel well, is a single door compartment, 18.5"H X 9.75”W x 17.5"D, providing 1.83 cu. ft. of space.
As with all SportChassis our vehicle pulls your trailer using its frame rails, not its body. This ensures that the structural integrity of our body remains sound even after hundreds of trips and hundreds of thousands of miles.
For complete details of standard and optional equipment, as well as a full description of our pricing and warranty, contact your factory authorized SportChassis dealer today.

Scale down your fleet by stepping up to a RHA114. Remember, every SportChassis is a Freightliner, but not every Freightliner is a SportChassis.

You’re half right. Ugly American piece of junk, yes. Cool, well if you parked it in a dealer lot in Alaska it would probably be very cool. I fail to understand why manufacturers come out with vehicles like this that are totally useless for anything other than internet pictures.

And being made by Freightliner, we know it will fall to bits. Just like the useless pieces of junk they sell out here.

They look OK, Navistar in the US does a similar thing.

Freightliners are known to rattle themselves to pieces in Australia, i drove one of the first fully imported long wheel base FLC 112's ever to come to Oz, i have driven the new cenrury class as well as some Argosy cab overs.

Dashboards falling out, windows going down by themselves, intercoolers cracking, heater cores leaking, fire walls cracking, just to name a few problems they have.

That's HUGE!
The rear seat looks like I've designed using crayons and a credit card receipt whilst drunk.
