GAFFNEY, SC, January 15, 2025—Fleetwood will be showcasing its innovative new 2025 Palisade luxury Class A diesel coach powered by the XCM chassis from Freightliner Custom Chassis Corp. (FCCC) at the 2025 Florida RV SuperShow, taking place Jan. 15-19 in Tampa, FL.

The XCM’s modular design and lowered rear section offers enhanced floorplan versatility and pass-through storage capacity. Powered by a Cummins L9 engine offering 450HP and 1,250 lb.-ft. of torque, the 2025 Palisade powered by the XCM offers several FCCC industry-first innovations, including:

• RoadWatch suite of safety features like Roll Stability, Traction Control, Collision Mitigation and Adaptive Cruise Control
• An ergonomic steering wheel and column-mounted controls, paired with OptiView’s all-digital gauge display create a more automotive-like experience
• DriveTech ergonomic steering wheel and column-mounted controls, which eliminates the need to reach for every command and is the only driving system in the industry that places transmission controls at your fingertips
• V-Ride rear suspension for increased luxury amenity and cargo capacity while greatly reducing body roll
• UltraSteer fully integrated and precision-tuned tag axle providing a 17 percent reduction in curb-to-curb turning radius as compared to traditional fixed tag axle and a 20 percent tighter turning angle than the nearest competitor
• BrakeSync – factory-installed, factory-warranted supplemental braking system
• ZF independent front suspension with up to 60-degree wheel cut offering the tightest turning radius in the industry
• An industry-leading 5-year, 100,000-mile warranty backed by the most comprehensive service network around 
• 24/7 Direct service and support with access to FCCC’s nationwide service network, including more than 450 service centers and 90+ RV-centric Oasis locations

“We believe strongly that every aspect and component of the Palisade plays a role in providing a top-tier RV experience, and that starts with the chassis,” said Doug Miller, Product Manager for Fleetwood RV. “Our customers rely on Fleetwood products for their quality, dependability and innovation, which is exactly what the XCM from FCCC provides as the foundation for the Palisade. We are thrilled to share what we believe is the most complete and advanced Palisade yet with everyone at Tampa”
