    Had some time to kill the other day do I checked out a 2013 Coronado. I liked it!
    The new dashboard looks very nice, kinda reminded me of a cross between WS and KW's from a few years ago. Nice job on the door panels as well.

    The cab, although much the same as a Columbia/ Century cab, seemed tighter and the doors closed nicely. Although I wonder if they are plagued by the same top/ front corner being pulled away during a cross wind.

    I like the way the DEF tank is hidden and blended in with the cab steps. Way nicer than KW or Pete is doing theirs. Lots of room for big tanks without having to go to a really long frame, unlike Peterbilt where they are putting a short tank on one side to make room for the DEF tank.

    I saw one owned by Western out of CO the other day. Very sharp.

    Of course the ability to buy square nosed and modern truck with a DD15 makes it for me. I like Paccar, just not a Paccar or Cummins engine.


    Your thoughts?

    Looked at the 2013 recently while dealing on some new trucks , liked what I saw and the changes they made along the same things you found , dealer would not budge on the $ like he would on Cascadias with same equipment.
