    Opinions on this truck?

    Hi again, I've narrowed my solo-driver truck search to a Class D with a liftgate and an APU. I like the toilet/shower combo thing, public bathrooms scare me. A reefer would be nice as well. My budget is up to $90K. That being said, What's all of your opinions on this truck?: 2004...
