Ictpilot Ictpilot then you haven’t been listening. There’s a reason ARI only builds on airide. Their structure can’t withstand the torque of the frame flexing. Their gelcoat is passable but that’s about it. They can’t build a lounge body. The won’t add additional sleeper doors for access because it would compromise their structure. Having owned Eagles and multiple ICT’s and spending years with the most renowned fleets for big bunks I absolutely will not own an ARI.

@@PublicSafetyInc Been following ARI for years and talking to several owners, and you're the first to say they're poor quality. There's been some a few things owners talk about ( door hardware needing fixed etc.) But nothing major. Some of the same hardware used by the big bunk sleeper guys are the same as used in the RV industry.

Ictpilot Ictpilot I’ve worked with dozens of owners for years. The subframe is weak. They’ve improved some over the years. But torquing the sleeper frame, as any hard mount will, destroys the sleeper due to being under built. I dislike an airide big bunk. We,be switched 2 to bushing mounts. An ARI would shred itself. We’ve seen it. They broke from IVT, which broke from Double Eagle, to build cookie cutter mass produced sleepers. They did negotiate some great exclusivity agreements with Rush and others. But their engineering is under built. Take a look at the framework on one under construction. They’ve always put to much emphasis on low weight and low production cost. In the world of custom sleepers you get what you weigh for.

That thing is amazing; I used to have an apartment that was smaller. How does that work to usable vehicle length/payload when you're working with it? With that wheelbase I'm guessing overall the truck is nearly 50-feet long. Here in the UK the entire tractor-trailer combination is limited to 44 tonnes (97,000 lbs) and 18 metres (about 60 feet), I'm guessing your limits are a bit longer and heavier! 😃

@FutureGPTranscoDriver 2 жыл бұрын
there is no length limitation for trucks they can be as long as they want What is regulated is your trailer length which is limited to 53 feet but can differ depending what state your in like lets say you live in Utah your trailer length limit is 120 feet and your whole vehicle weight limit (truck and trailer) is 136,000 lbs so this truck will struggle to do heavy haul because of its weight but can easily pull light trailers like Dry Vans and certain Tankers.
