    Meh, the only thing good about these gliders is they pull better and they are generally more reliable mechanically. However, they ride like total crap, the interior/seats are uncomfortable, and in general they are way less driver friendly overall in the comfort department. Some people would rather have a more reliable truck and sacrifice comfort. I'd rather not have this crappy riding tractor beat the hell out of me going down the road.

    You'd have difficulty in getting into a glider. Most of he guys who have them will gladly give up their wives before the glider (and possibly one or two of their brattier kids).

    There are only between 700 and 1000 of them, the earliest being "2010" and the latest "2012". In another year or two SNI will start selling them,b if they can somehow get the driver to give the truck up.

    The Columbia/Century is a crappy riding truck after being in a Pro Star. Add to that all the rattles, it is not very ergonomic either. If they could only make a Cascadia glider, which I hear is in the works...

    no a slider is a bobtail hitting its brakes in the rain.

    That's an idea I think when I get home today I'm going to get my 22 rifle a cold beer and sit on my deck and shoot a few squirrels or maybe that pesky groundhog that I saw yesterday. Squirrels take like chicken

    Careful, they have adopted an "enough is enough" attitude and are ready to defend themselves...
