    Would anyone recommend driving a 2001-2007 Pre DPF Coronado?

    other then the usual FL issues is it quiet inside? Because someone told me they are a little bit loud inside and I would need to dynamat it.

    are they all standard 264 Wheel Base?

    I’m going to be out of trucking in 1.5 years and wanted to see if its worth selling my Cascadia now because of the high prices, and getting a Coronado which are dirt cheap. Is it worth it doing this move?


    I’m looking to downsize as I don’t run California Anymore and this def thing is bothering me.

    Firewall back they are just a columbia aren't they? Noise will depend on the insulation package it was ordered with.

    Didn’t know they had different insulation packages. Not sure if they a upgraded Columbia but I think they replaced the classic.

    I'm pretty sure there are upgraded insulation packages, as far as I know you can up grade the door seals also, or if I remember correctly the "Arctic" insulation package has both?
    My Columbia glider came from Schneider, it had very little cheap foam that i removed and upgraded.
