L-train. Glad you got one of the good trks with auto start.
but in your reading of previous posts you missed the part where
Several of the prostars and cascadias don't have auto start, therefore
When the batterys are gone on the hvac system you are S.O.L
There is no idle feature , the trk runs for two minutes and shuts down.
Like I said glad you got one of the good trucks, there are a lot of drivers
That have new trks but they are not as comfortable as you will be .

And I would add that IMO, the auto-start so far has not been that great. I had the truck start up on me 3 times in one night with the bunk heater on. Of course, I had a check engine light that came on right after that, but I have not engaged it since.
As for the gear, yes it will all fit, but I miss having the second large box on the side and the PS box for my straps. It's mine and maybe other's personal preference to place straps. -
Headed up to marshfield to get the 2012 junkstar oh ah I mean prostar back to the shop.
Got in trk and turned on hvac sleeper heat and nothing dead the radio wouldn't even come on!
Truck sat for a couple days and hvac batterys are dead, nothing was left on.
Of course it starts right up so starting batterys are fine ! I have yet to get more than 4 hrs out
Of the bunk heater, how the heck are ya supposed to get a good rest and be alert to drive !
I'm hopeing that marshfield maint can figure it out. I'm tired of freezing my arse off !
