If you are going to run an air conditioner, the answer is to have both. The generator to run the air conditioner and the battery / inverter to run everything else.
That is like I have seen with mine... @ 63 mph average is between 20 and 21 mpg depending on the weight, weather & such.
My most recent fully optioned 3500 extended Promaster was less than $38,000 out the door, including all taxes & fees.
I guess I'm just going to turn & burn. We lose too much opportunity sitting potentially for a week. If I had a choice, I'd rather run out off Laredo for 75 cents than sit for a week for nothing. I assume that if I tell bidding to bid me low JUST out of Laredo, that they won't do it...
I think that's why the diesel Promaster is supposed to work either way... for both crowds. Why they didn't give gassers that option I'll never figure out!
That's why it has to be an all aluminum box. I fully believe the empty weight will be under 5,000 lbs. It will be at next year's Expo, hopefully in the company booth!
I wish it was! Sadly, the shifter has a manual selection side but it will only function (alledgely) with the diesel engine.
I'll let you know for sure when the diesel cutaway I ordered shows up around year end (again, alledgely) for my next aluminum box project... a 175" wb Promaster with a...
WOW!!! The truck gets to be everybody's bank??? :confused::eek:
I would never want to be in that situation with my trucks!
I can't imagine wondering when, or if, I would ever get paid... but I would still have to pay my drivers!
My State Farm agent writes all of my personal policies, and would write my $printers or Promasters as long as they didn't leave Michigan. The moment I mentioned interstate, they bailed on me like you wouldn't believe. State Farm does not cover interstate Expeditors.
I was surprised to see so few entries in the hat they drew the names from... and completely stunned when they called out my EO name!!!
The odds of winning were very good (exclusively for EO Forum participants present) that everyone should plan on attending next year's expo!
It is very, very nice to be good different, while everyone is so nice to those that don't have the good fortune to work with Load-1!!!
John, Thanks for being the leader in so many ways. :)
Brian, you're a great spokesman, too!
Assuming they still have the $1,000 upfitter rebate and the $1,000 regular rebate in December, it's going to cost just under $39,000, tax included, for a 3500 159" wb extended.
