Glider kit opinions?

if your really looking to get a good truck as cheap as possible, I was told the Columbia is cheaper than cascadia

 

What's your bobtail weight full of fuel?

 

I'm on the fence with price right now. I priced out a fully loaded new cascadia with 600 signature is 18 speed heavy axles with disc brakes and apu etc etc for $230,000cdn vs a old style Cascadia with a 14l series 60 and fleet specs for $170,000cdn. Deciding which route to go. He'll I'd consider a new Columbia if it's cheap enough but these cascadia were ordered on a better Canadian dollar than were at now so they would cost only 5000 difference aND for that price I'll take cascadia.

The fully loaded vs non fully loaded debate continues. I'm not sure which way to go. I own multiple trucks so it's not like I have a personal truck that's just mine, all my drivers truck hop now and again.

 

I actually considered the Columbia. I almost bought one of Schneider's used gliders, but at the end of the day, there's just not enough room in the driver's seat and I can't figure how to get the seat to move farther back
Harrison has some Coronado's with the 6NZ. Thing is, I'm always at 80,000 and while I really want the cat, I thought I'd get better millage with the 12.7. Plus it's $15,000 less with the Detroit and they're cheaper to fix. (If I buy one, I'm going to keep it for a long tune)
I believe Thompson is building Pete's with the 6NZ. But the price is around $170,000.

 

St Catherine's is even building cabover.

I've always wondered about a cabover. I've read time and time again that they are actually good on fuel.
