I just ordered a 2013 FL Columbia mid roof XT glider in late February from Harrison Truck Center in Iowa. 16 pages of spec sheets. Absolutely loaded to the gills. $110,000. Unlike Fitzgerald, Harrison is a full blown Freightliner dealer and we had access to the entire spec'ing program available to the new trucks. Having a factory rebuilt 500 HP Series 60 DDEC IV, factory rebuilt 18 speed, brand new top line Meritor 14X aluminum housing drive axles with dualtrac option and lockers. Viper Blue Pearl with clear coat body paint, Viper Red frame rail / undercarriage paint. Alcoa durabrites all the way around with wide based on the drives. Wood grain everything interior. More gauges than the space shuttle (almost), and more cabinets than my kitchen (almost). And, of course, built in fridge. Arctic insulation package on cab and sleeper and premium noise abatement insulation package. Sleeper windows. Webasto heater factory installed under bunk. Premium stereo radio/CD with iPod / USB connections and weather bands. Full warranties on everything.
And no emissions junk in sight.
Delivery not until July due to Schneider and other outfits clogging up the system with a lot of glider truck orders.
No... there is no "G" in the VIN. There is a "00" in the Vin that identifies it as a glider. Registered as a 2013 truck. No different than if someone built a kit car in their garage. It would be registered as a new vehicle. Yes.... you can build a kit car, use older engine to avoid emissions, just like a glider truck. What a country!!!
