Sold 2001 Freightliner Argosy. It comes with a 1999 Cummins ISX ELD Exempt engine. 550HP. 13 Speed Manual. 3.58 Rear ends. 262" Factory Wheel base. 15k miles on complete out of frame.
I love those automatic stairs on the driver side! I had an Argosy, 2000, but, it didn't have the stairs. Makes it so easy to get in and out of, which is the usual complaint on a COE. This one looks SUPER clean! I'd prefer a bigger bunk. Something with some room to stand up in. The color is beautiful, my favorite shade of red!
@@raptorballs1546 What in particular? The motor or something else? I had a 15 liter ISX in a 2007 KW W900L. It had lots of issues starting when temps got to single digits or below. I ended up adding an internal oil pan heater, external heaters for fuel tanks & fuel filter. That took care of the issue, as long as circuit breaker didn't pop! It would fire up and shake for less than a second even on the coldest days. I think the COE's are prone to heating problems going down the road in the cold. Solve that with a winter front on grill.
@@R2OMike yeah my bad should’ve said what I was referring to, he said he likes the auto unfolding stairs. Everyone says they’re sweet in the hot months but in the cold months they freeze over and lock up.
@@raptorballs1546 LOL, re-reading, I see what you meant now! Thanks for clarifying!!! I can see that happening...especially in the midwest where I am from. But, scaling the "ladder" on the side can be equally as risky...I didn't care for that a lot...need good grab handles. I guess the way to fix that is to have heated auto-fold out stairs...LOL!!!
I looked at one at the MATS show, but didn’t get to the inside. The steps I saw were mechanical, or so I thought. 🧐I love cabovers to this day!🥰 This video was really good, except for the music overloading the noise of the engine. I read some of the notes...2001 but is still can be bought from Freightliner? I’m not sure about that one! 🧐I’ve been to Freightliner for the last several years and was never given an option of ordering a new Argosy... I would have!🥰 This truck...is really sharp! I like it more being stretched, and the color is awesome! Just needs more lights and chrome! 🤩 Would need to go over the wheels and make sure that all matched!
That needs to be turned into a stinger for hauling boats... Money maker!.. the new stinger length laws allow you to go 80 foot with a 10 foot overhang.. you can put 2 30 foot boats on there at the same time and still be legal...
Big mistake, it's not a 2001, the 2018 and 2017 models look like this. You can put a Pre 2007 EPA Emissions engine into this because the latest engines with all legal EPA Emissions equipment won't fit into the engine compartment. They are ordered as a Glider Kit where you add the drive train and rear suspension and wheels. You can buy a Glider Kit that has been completed with your engine and transmission for less than a new truck from other companies.
R32LMedition That doesn’t quite make sense, even being a glider. How could it be that different? I didn’t think that gliders were made that different than ones completed but the company. I’ve never heard that before. Makes you wonder.
@@the.porter.productions First, freightliner has never produced a glider on a current production body style. I have 3 Coronado gliders, they are the 2003-2010 body style. There is no 2011-2021 currently factory produced coronados available as gliders. Granted, my gliders are 2015 and 2017 but they do not have standard assembly line VIN numbers. They are first generation coronado bodies but built in 2015 and 2017 in Mexico.
@@TheRoadhammer379 🇺🇸 I saw one of these at the truck show in KY years ago and really liked it. I think I really would’ve bought one had I known that cabovers would become extinct! REALLY! I was not trucking at the time and that’s what kept me from it. Cabovers rule! Guess I’ll have to settle for having an older cabover and just rebuild it from the ground up! 🧐
Guess I'm the only to notice the mis-matched wheels. I didn't think I'd ever say an Argosy looked good. Stretched and it sounds perty. I'd truck it despite it being Freightshaker.
yes tropical cookie i think i may have seen one or two. There's a lot of guys hauling steel exclusively that have stretched trucks. Like those loads of rebar 60' long. th-cam.com/video/izfWUx_2NoI/w-d-xo.html
It depends how you hit. Conventional tractor has a fiber glass hood. While cab over tractor has higher cabin. Well if you put a stainless steel bumper in the cab over it might save your life in case of deadly front collision with other semi truck.
They are very much still legal. They just stopped making them. The length laws in the united states no longer made the cabover convenient. On top of that , they can't match up to our new fuel mileage regulations. "Aerodynamics" is the new trend. Personally I miss the old white frieghtliners, and 352 Pete cabovers.
Why would they be illegal? I owned a 2000 Argosy up until 4 years ago. They have incredible sight angles. I used mine in Chicago, got into some very tight areas you'd never dream of in a conventional which translated to good $. They have simply fallen out of favor for the conventional design. Getting complete access to the motor requires the cab be tiled forward. Hence, gravity takes whatever is inside and not locked down to the windshield! That, and the ease of in and out are the main reasons why COE faded out...but, as you see with this one, the steps let you easily climb in and out, better than a conventional! I will say, there are some drivers I know who are "afraid" of a the COE design, they think that they are better protected if they hit something. It's debatable. When I had mine, I'd just say "well then, don't HIT anything!". Truth is, front of a conventional is mostly fiberglass. That isn't going to protect a lot...your up higher in a COE...let's hope, you do collide, what you hit goes under you and not THROUGH you!!! Be safe out there.
For me, the frame needs to be shortened. I run into tight cities like Philly, NY, Boston, DC and this thing is too long for some of the bldgs I go to with docks planned out 80-100 years ago. Might as well drive a hood and get more living space.
THIS ONE IS BUILT TO MAKE$$ IN TIDE ROADS CIRCLES>>>NOT TO LIVE IN>>IN EUROPE OR JAPAN ONLY CABOVERS HAUL OF TIDE ROADS>>>YOU DUMY>>>WHY SLEEP IN THE TRUCK LIKE A RUSSIANBUMTRUCKER THAT WORK 800$ A MONTHS IN RUSSIAPOLAND>>IF LIVE IN NORTHAMERICA????
I've taken a Cascadia with a longer frame for flat-bedding into the Bronx pulling a 53' Conestoga. This Argosy has the same, basic, wheel base as a Cascadia spec'd for skateboards.
actually, the Argosy originated as a replacement of the old FL-B model, but like all cab over trucks in north America was a sales disaster. percived poor ride thanks to early generation CoE trucks, and a market geared to conventionals pretty much made the Argosy a sales disaster in north America, however the plant in north Carolina still makes the Argosy for export to Austrlia and New Zealand where the model has been warmly recieved and makes good sales. you could probably buy a non glider version for the USA, however it would probably now be a right hand drive Australian spec model, but you'd probably have to speak to Freightliner Australia to get one as you can't get them as glider-kits in the USA now. quite simply no demand.
^^ Drools on keyboard ^^ truly I wish I had a bit more cash handy, I'd make an offer. It's just about exactly what I'm after, a longish frame argosy. I have just decided I don't want to go into hock in getting my O/O going. So gotta find cheaper equipment or keep it up as a company driver for a bit longer.
First, it is wrong to say this is a 2001 Argosy. I think you know the difference between 2001 and 2017, right? If you do not know what is Scania, search Google. Let me say more clearly, the cab of 2017 Argosy looks like the Scania cab. It lacks character. Freightliner is famous truck maker and so redesign the cab outlook is better.
Fuck no, scania has the steers in the middle of cab, makimg it look like a bus, that esthetic alome kills the look for sure, ugly as fuck, this truck is a beautiful
You're not very bright, are you. it's a factory 262 wb, same as the Columbia, Cascadia and coronado. it's just intimidating to you and other steering wheel holders because it looks "stretched"
The manual gearbox lives. THANK YOU FREIGHTLINER. That means something to most of us!!

That's a one immaculate Freightliner Argosy COE especially for it being burgundy red one my favorite color

What a beautiful truck with the flat cabin
The only thing missing is dual 8 inch bull hauler stacks!
and dual stainless breathers up the back
Very nice, cabovers need to comeback but with modern features, it works overseas
Looks like the Iveco Stralis. Fancy thriving a European design
they do share very similar angles. the 110" raised roof version looks even more like the Stralis
beutiful truck never thought it was a 2001 I could use something like that
Most of you judging from the comments don't know that Freightliner still sells the Argosy to the North American market as a special order.
@@MrBNARick not anymore.
it's a 2010, that body style is 2010 and newer, it's a glider
I want a truck like this to start my owner operator days
Strokeit24 it just looks cool but practically , other truck design have large sleeping area and much more .

Thank you for your info!
How is this ELD exempt? The trucknis a 2001 and the motor is a 1999. Have to be 98 or older to be exempt
Engine has to be 99 and older
There are so many ignorant people in trucking. As R32L stated, 99 and older.
Sorry for being ignorant then. Just stating what I thought was true and I stand corrected
Guess I'm the only to notice the mis-matched wheels. I didn't think I'd ever say an Argosy looked good. Stretched and it sounds perty. I'd truck it despite it being Freightshaker.
The wheels jumped at me.
it is not "stretched", lmao. it's a factory 262 wb, big fkn deal. the coronado is 265 and 275, it just looks stretched because it is a cab over
Beautiful truck!
What's the point of a stretched coe? The point of it is to be short... not to look good or be long. These don't look good and they're to long..
joe bourdeau not if you’re going to be pulling a skateboard or 48’.
if you're pulling a flatbed, you can haul longer pieces of steel by letting it hang off the front on the trailer.
Joshua Upton there is something called an oversized load
yes tropical cookie i think i may have seen one or two.
There's a lot of guys hauling steel exclusively that have stretched trucks. Like those loads of rebar 60' long.

I want this truck so bad....
Love this cabover
Hot daymn that’s beautiful!
That is a pease of work man I wish i could get one
Magnifique 🚛👍🤩
2001 or 2017?
nice truck
I think it sold. No longer see it on craigslist
Killer truck!
Thanks! :)

@@erwinbalolong3646 here we go with coes deadlier than conventional, yet we can flat front bud lines, those mini cab overs box trucks.
Can someone tell me, I thought cab over trucks were illegal in the USA?
I was here first as James said, but they made them poorly. A comparison with a European cabover says why
I started out driving international cabover
They are very much still legal. They just stopped making them. The length laws in the united states no longer made the cabover convenient.

l bet the mattress saw some action in its day.
Love the truck!! But would prefer a different Cummins,or a detroit...maybe even a cat....
Grass burner exhaust? A hard No
Nice truck ... i want one....
Is this truck still for sale?
I love it...an want it 😎
how much for this truck?
my god the wheelbase on that thing is enormous. that defeats the purpose of a cab over doesnt it? lol
You are not bright. it's 262 wb, 3 inches shorter than the freightliner coronado. It looks long because it is a cab over
Its impossible for that to be a 2001. They didnt switch to that design until 2010.
it's a 2010 glider kit
