    Such a truck will cost you several thousand dollars per year extra because of its very poor drag coefficient.

    I'm sorry, but the Freightliner Argosy is no longer being sold as a new truck in NA. You can only get a glider kit, a truck without a drivetrain. Check the Freightliner website.

    Perhaps, but when you sell it you will get all that back with in added resale value, and be happy while you are driving!;)
