I've personally looked at FWC's not an Alaskan, just pictures. What really impresses me about the FWC and the Hallmark is the low closed height. Having hauled around a HS Lance for years and dealing with windy conditions, a PUP is like having nothing in the bed of my 1 ton. Even my wife has commented about how the truck acts on the highway with out present PUP loaded. I really dislike the wind buffeting a HS produces. I drove over the road for many years with a Reefer and I'm very familiar with wind, especially out west where the wind is always blowing the wrong way it seemed. Probably should have just jumped into a Hallmark or FWC instead of getting what I did (Palomino), but the OTD price was enticing and it's given me the perspective I was looking for and I've had no issues with it in 2 years (fingers stay crossed). I know pretty much what I require now.
I agree the low profile was a definite plus and one of my reasons for buying. I live in West Texas and the wind is constant.....I too drove over the road and can relate. You can't beat the price point on the Palomino, and I am glad you have had good luck with it.
