JT Mail Truck? National Postal Forum has a Kestrel Gladiator on Display

[DirkG]

Looks like I’ll be applying to become a mailman!

If you do, be sure to stop putting junk mail in my mailbox. I don't care that there are 12 houses in my area that are for sale and I don't need a coupon for kitty litter. Thanks.

In my head I’m already sawing off the top and adding a big pop-up tent

This idea is being considered by the manufacturer!

A Gladiator food truck! I can see it now, standing in line getting tacos out of a Gladiator. Or maybe a hotdog would serve better out of a JT.

Did Oshkosh Truck have their contract to build Ev postal trucks canceled?

Thought that Rivian was building the EV postal trucks. Because I seen a postal truck with that badge on the side of it.

I own OSK and I get news every quarter. Like all other junk mail lately, I have been tossing it in the trash. I remember reading news on the potential contract for OSK to build EV mail trucks. I guess that is what I will do today. Call the father-in-law in Oshkosh. He is up on OSK truck corp.

Make it a tool truck. What Gladiator owner wouldn't buy snap-on or matco tools out of the back of a Gladiator Tool Truck.

As far as campers go, I was looking at the seem between the top and sides. Was wondering if it could be split to make a pop up?

4 door cab would be pretty sweet. I do Technical Rescue as a side gig and that would make a perfect truck for some of the field work we do

But with the loss of the extra body weight and two more passengers, plus all the gear? The 1,700 lbs capacity is going to be close to maxed out.

The truck I seen was different than that. Maybe it was a Prototype for testing a while back.

The NGDV is the new Postal Truck. The Kestrel is a proof of concept. It is currently the only one in existence, but the goal is production in the future.

The OshKosh is the contracted truck. This is a one-off.
