    From my understanding, the FL is company spec. The only options are if you want an APU which you pay $1800 upfront and possibly color. Everything else is how SFI orders the truck including the Premium Trucks.

    No. But you wont get the same one year lease on a KW.

    Higher down payment for a longer term. On both new and used KWs.

    Ok I'm still confused. If I want a T680, even if gently used, and I'm talking 100k miles or so, I'm going to have to go three years and a down payment??? I guess I really need to talk to Glenn.

    When I joined a used Kenworth was $2k down and I could have done 2 year min lease.
    I went with a new one which was $5k and 3 years. Got $1400 bonus into my maintenance account for leasing on with a new truck and I get back $6k at the end of my lease so I guess I somewhat get my money back from the down payment as long as I don't screw up.

    Main reason I didn't get a used truck is because I didn't want to take any chances.
    I doubt all ICs are taking care of there trucks. If they can skip or PM or etc to save some money I'm sure they'll do knowing if they're returning the truck soon. Or worse people failing on the program I strongly doubt would be taking care of their trucks.
