Bought a new truck (glider)
 
Bought a glider from Fitzgeralds. Only drove it from Tenn back to Michigan so far bobtail so hard to guess how it's gonna work out, but so far I like it. The truck is really well built and put together professionally. I will try to keep this updated as I get going and see how it performs.

2014 Pete 389
500 Detroit series 60
3.55 rears
18 speed trans

Wow I love the color. Has an old school look to it. Nice looking truck. Please keep us updated. Love the white and blue.

allan5oh 05-20-2013 07:55 PM

Can I ask how much it cost? Anything aftermarket or is it mostly stock?

extras are just the under sleeper light package and visor, everything else comes like you see it. $140,500 including the paint job($2,400) out the door.

Yeah that's standard on Fitz's trucks they match them to the color of the truck.

bp88 06-01-2013 03:47 AM

Did they pitch in the roll of electrical tape with the truck? ;)

Nice rig! I'm super jealous!

solo379 06-01-2013 04:42 AM

Looks sharp! How is the fuel mileage with this setup?

Maniac 06-01-2013 03:00 PM

I keep my electrical tape there too!

NICE, looks real good,like a new one

First week out. haven't been able to fill up yet, but readout reads 7mpg.

solo379 06-02-2013 01:06 AM

That's impressive! The friend of mine got Coronado with the same engine, averaging around 7mpg, compare to barely 6mpg with his previous ISX.

Looks like a Glen Tay truck, Contrans Group Inc

Love the paint scheme, the engine too.

litefoot 06-09-2013 03:15 PM

One nice tractor inside, and out! Beautiful!

Scottt 06-15-2013 04:43 AM

Friend of mine just bought a repo'd Freightliner Glider with 188,000 miles for $72K

plentygood 06-15-2013 11:29 PM

Thanks for the pics, that's one wicked ride!

Tobytob 07-18-2013 05:58 PM

Sweet Ride, that truck look great, would look even better with a matching tanker behind it, Non the less. I like it. Im looking into a glider kit as well. I want nothing to do with these new motors.
