Waiting on New Trucks thread.

U can buy pre 2000 on auction yards for less than 30k now... who the he'll is paying 300k for a glider... u could rebuild every nut and bolt on a pre eld for a lot less... they will be holding on to those rigs for the rest of their life

 

Gliders going for $220K to $230K

Those aren’t gliders. They swap out the engine for an old one and you get what basically amounts to a salvage title. In Nebraska if you change a major component you can get an assembled title.

 

If it has a gggg vin that’s a factory glider .. not sure if it’s ever been built though . The rims and steps look old not dirty . I’d suspect he pulled his engines and stuff and selling carcass.

 

The g's aren't true for all makes. My Freightliner glider doesn't have g's, but when the dealer pulls it up, it comes up as a glider.

 

5 MPG? 7+ all day every day.

 

What are you pulling? Seems most pull flats with those kind of trucks.

 

I own two 389s with 565 Cummins. Pull reefer and with loads weighing 75K to 78K. MPG averages around 5.5.

 

Quick update, my WS 47X is built, however, they are waiting on a couple of parts. One of those parts is a drive shaft. So, they truck is slipping.

I also found out that there will probably be delays at the dump bed upfitter. Apparently, the truck manufacturers slipped all the one off truck builds, which includes most trucks that go to an upfitter and fulfilled all of the large orders first. What that caused is the upfitters to have slack production over the summer. Now that the manufacturers are producing the one off trucks, the upfitters are getting slammed and falling further and further behind. This is compounded by the fact that some of them let people go while business was down.

 

I was told yesterday if I wanted another MX13 that I could have a 579 by middle of next year.
