I'm not sure that there is much difference in cost anymore, used to be you could get into a glider for about 70% of a new truck, now they seem to be within 10 g's of each other?

Oxbow and Milkman719 Thank this.

Glider may prove to be more reliable .
Justrucking2, Dominion Transportation, OLDSKOOLERnWV and 1 other person Thank this. -
Last year I was looking at one, but it was only $10k cheaper than a whole new truck that gets better mpg's.
So I bought a new one.
In 18 months it has been in the shop for a total of six days for emission related faults.stwik and Getsinyourblood Thank this. -
snowman_w900 Thanks this.

Yes,. but yellow paint with out emissions is the cats meow. The reliability is unparalleled.
Pay more in fuel or pay more in repairs. Pick your poison.

If getting a Glider I would look at Harrison Gliders. Fitzgerald Glider rebuild the engines themselves and they warranty the engine vs the manufacture like CAT or Detroit from what I hear.
