    My Crapcadia drivers door never sealed properly, if you had a cross wind in the winter it leaked around the door like crazy. The problem is most trucks are not ordered properly. A coronado ordered with the Arctic package has an extra seal around the doors and a ton of extra insulation.

    See a couple trucking outfits from that area ( ZAVCOR and GZL ) running new COLUMBIA GLIDERS that likely came from St Catharines Freightliner drivers seemed happy with them when I saw / talked with them in the NJ / Philly Ports

    Knocking another mfr. is so childish! FDL is the top selling truck in Canada. Can't be that bad! As for the original questions about gliders: Although they seem like the answer: You get a new truck with modern conveniences but a pre 2002 engine. All with full warranty. My only concern would be that either the EPA or Environment Canada ( is that the right name) would do something to ban them. Or require you to meet 20010 standards. I still say a Cascadia with a 12 liter DD is an awesome truck. You would never have to worry about regens or EGR crap. No skunk pee.
