How is a 2023 Superstar on a "2024" Freightliner chassis

How is a 2023 Superstar on a 2024 Freightliner chassis? When I checked the VIN, it states it is a 2024 chassis but its the 2023 and earlier style, and its a 2023 Superstar......confusing?

They took delivery of 2024 chassis’ while they were still building 2023 models? It is the opposite the norm.

I thought the same thing, just the opposite except that while the VIN says its a 24 chassis, the design of the chassis is not a 24. No steering wheel controls, the transmission shift on the dash, everything the same as 23 and earlier. According to FL, there a massive overhaul in 2024, the dash, wiring and ergonomics. I just think its very odd that FL would VIN that as a 24.

That is odd.

Looking at the cab it looks the same as our 22, definitely no differences in where controls are.

Well thats odd because the steering wheel and shifter are part of the chassis spec. I’d ask Freightliner.

Yes, I ordered a 24 from NIRVC. I asked this dealer because I thought they made a mistake and they insisted it is a 24. I ran the VIN and they are right. I still think their advertising is questionable stating upgraded 24 chassis.

It maybe the 1/2 year update we have seen on other RVs/vehicles? The revamped stuff may be eventually called 24 1/2
