Running With Schneider!

Yes the one I'm looking at has no apu, but it has park smart I think. Not totally sure about that.... I emailed him and said, needs an apu.... Jeez 1800$?

 

My company truck had park smart. Not a bad alternative. Of course it's not an APU, but it did keep the truck nice and cold without having to idle. Depending on the outside temp, would last between 8 to 12 hours. It does nothing to charge your batteries though.

 

Don't go parksmart when it fails it's expensive repair. The cabinet behind drivers seat has to b removed. Royal pain.

 

Not to mention being woke out of a dead sleep because your truck starts on its own. That would be a pain, too.

 

It may be park smart

 

They had a 2014 Evolution with the newer diesel powered apu, it's a little pricey, but you will get the diesel powered one without the extra cash. Also there will be a 2013 and a 2009 Cascadia available toward the end of May that has the tripac diesel. Check back Monday or so, their inventory updates daily. Don't just settle for whatever, get one that at least has some of the things you are looking for. I really didn't want to wait until the end of May, but I really didn't see anything that stood out to me that would be available till then. I almost went with the evolution that I mentioned at the top since I'm starting with a 1 year lease, but at the same time I'm hoping to be able to finance the residual at the end or maybe move up to a T680. It's all about what you are looking to accomplish. Good luck with whichever truck you choose and there are a lot of helpful people on here to get input from.

 

Well one positive note is the apu I get won't have a zillion hours on it
