    Good thing they offer it in a glider otherwise it's just another high dollar truck with a P.O.S. engine. I wouldn't buy nothing with an ISEX cummer.

    Wonder what the "out the door price" would be . My guess would be 160k at least

    Cummins engines would be my choice! I've a good friend that's been a mechanic all his life, just recently he told me the Cummins engines has the less trouble, he works in a dealer shop at Little Rock. I never had a Cummins engine lay down on me

    I'm sure its a high dollar truck yet I sure its a good one.

    I will take Cascadia Evo or Volvo 780 any day. No need to go back in the 1960 design, because they don't make them as good anymore.... it is all plastic made in China stuff....

    You'll probably need the cash equivalent of some third world country's GDP.

    I wonder how close to $200,000 that glider would get? I'm guessing a truck like that would easily cost $165,000? Nice ride. Very cool I love it. Nothing looks better than a W9L but i did like those 379X tractors. I would love to have one but when I upgrade tractors next I don't think I can justify looking cool over aerodynamics pulling this box behind me. I'm gonna have to get with the program one day $5 fuel will be back and it ain't never going cheaper either. I actually wish it would hurry up and get here so it could clear out all of the excess trucks.
     
    russtrucker and OceanDan Thank this.
