What is a
Glider Kit?
A rolling glider kit is basically a new truck with rears and
without an engine, transmission or
accessorial parts. We order them direct from
the Freightliner factory. The standard
Coronado we keep in stock and order is basic
owner-operator and fleet specifications and
can be modified.
What are the Benefits?
The benefits of a glider kit are endless; starting with the initial
purchase by saving you up to 25% off MSRP on
a new truck. The added savings of the fuel
efficient rebuilt 12.7 Liter Detroit 60
series are very substantial with an average
of 6.8 - 7.5 MPG. Less
maintenance and downtime + Less maintenance
costs + Less cost for fuel = more time and
money for you.
