Fitzgerald Glider Owners, I have a few questions....

OWNERS of these trucks please give me some info.

I am seriously contemplating buying a mid-roof from Fitzgerald. I already know all the specifics and what I would like to know is:

How has repairs been handled thru the warranty and any issues with getting them fixed?

How is you actual real world MPG?

Do you like the truck and do you have ANY gripes about something that should have been done differently?

And lastly, would you suggest buying one??

 

Thanks John

 

I was joined to that site for no less than 1 hour and I already have recieved 3 PM's wanting to sell me some Rutherford do-dad that will get me better MPG. One guy was hacking new tire valve caps LOL!!!

I figured that with my empty tanker moves, i should be able to net 8mpg if not more. At 8mpg 9compared to my 6.5mpg average now) the truck will pay the idfference and I will actually make an extra $300 a week.

Either a new glider or a new Mack

 

I highly agree..... and the only FL i would buy is a Coronado unless I could locate a FLD somehwere than was brand new (like looking for the holy grail)

I don't see the big difference between Pete/KW when it is spec'd out the way you want it and order it the way you want. if it was aused truck, then yes because most FL are all ex-fleet trucks. But I can spec a new Coronado out the same as a PACCAR just not as fancy, but at about $35k less.

 

Yes, I have spoken with him, but he wants a bit much for his tune. If I were to go that route, I would just order a Bully Dog, that way when i do get rid of the truck, I can take the tune out and re-sell the unit. Plus i don't go to the VA area at all and don't have the downtime to remove the ECM and ship it to him. Not to mention that lord only knows how long I will keep this truck.

Don't get me wrong, he is a master at what he does and I wish I had the extra $800 to toss around and 5 days to shut down, but I just don't.
