    I am trying to upgrade to a new truck and would like to find some one to take over my lease. There is about 18 months left on it. As far as the payments, not really sure. I can find out when some one is serious or you can call IEL and negotiate with them. It has recently had the ECM replaced, a few sensors, DPF filter baked and cleaned, DOX filter replaced, EGR replaced. Pretty much it has been re-done. It has a 13 speed, invertor and fridge. They will be staying in. It is a Studio T660.

    Mods, I put this here since it will mostly be a Swift driver that might be interested, one that already works here.

    I'm guessing as a non swift employee at this time I would first have to go through their approval before we could make any sort of deal? And then of course stay in their network??? Nice truck for sure though....

    That seems to be an issue with alot of the new KWs, but after all the "bugs" are worked out and the problems are fixed (which this one is) they seem to be very reliable trucks.

    Yes. From what I have heard and read, there seems to be a lot of problems with the 2012 KW's. Just the other day I was reading on the O/O facebook page about 3 drivers that each have a 2012, and they were all in Albany at the KW, and each was having the same issues. After the last fix in Memphis, everything has been taken care of as far as I know. Between a Cummins tech there and Cummins technical at Corporate and all of the data dumps that Cummins was having KW do, the truck has been running great. Right now with this load, 9.1pmg.

    How many miles do you have on it? I ask because my Cascadia improved over 1/2 mpg on the same route at the same weight over 50,000 miles.
