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. ................
I'm envious in the least. The Palomino was my test to see if I was going to keep running a TC or become a motel tourist. I had a contract run from MBPXL to New York City hauling boxed meat for Gingold Foodum ocasionally NM too. That wind never stopped it seemed like.
Really no issues at all (Palomino) which is uncommon for an entry level PUP. especially a FR Product. I expected the worse (after owning a Lance HS) and I was quite surprised. Fit and finish is good, everything works (had to modify the ammonia fridge a bit, FR 'forgot the insulation and the baffles and had to build a new battery box to house another battery, one don't work for me but other than that, no issues and when it's time, I think I can sell it for a reasonable amount. I got it pretty cheap, bought a leftover one year old unit and did some negotiation. I have my sights set on what you have now.
Like I said before, Nice unit and no wind issues, I know you understand that all too well.
When you take possession of her, you'll have to do an update and let us (me) know what you like, dislike and fit and finish. I'll be standing by for that. I still play with big trucks a little, hard to get out of your blood but now it's a voluntary thing, not a have to do thing.
There is always something to modify to better suite our needs.......a truck, camper, jeep we are never done. LOL
I will definitely post up. Matt will be sending me pics of the build so I will post those as well. 90 days is going to be a long wait........
I have not been OTR since 1994. Used to haul box and flatbed. Flatbed was better not the tight timelines.
