    Yeah that wouldn't be bad if converted to a sleeper, Get rid of that box between the seats and fit a bunk it would be almost as roomy as the small r cab

    you can get it with bunk well it is very similar to size of cr19 but only that engine is pulled front and no so much storage space below bunk since wheels are there

    If the job called for a low cab it's a good option

    Food 4 Less trucking has a bunch of Freightliner cabovers where my dad works and they look nice. I wanna drive one of them. Hell, If I was rich I would buy one from them.

    I read on another forum that the argosy can now be had as a glider in the US. Apparently its on facebook, but I'm not!
    Freightliner of Grand Rapids, MI & Midway Freightliner can get them. Brink Farms Holland MI has one.

    Maybe the COE is making a come back? Woo Hoo!

    Scania Man, really, I heard a few were sent to Quebec and BC last year as gliders, but none to the US. They were for export only. Are you sure it was a new style?
    Thats good news if it was, maybe they are rethinking the COE? Freightliner had an argosy at MATS, and I heard they were gauging the publics reaction.
    maybe premature.... but, woo hoo!

    We have the new Argosy here.
    There is very little difference from the predecessor except for the grill.
    I believe it is for better cooling with the up coming enviro junk they are going to be fitting.
