  I purchased a Freightliner MT45 from Summit Bodyworks 10 months ago for use as a tool truck . Upon delivery of the truck, the right rear axle is pouring gear oil from the seal, which is not a Summit component but I don't see how they could not have seen all of the fluid being slung on the truck.
  First thing I noticed, was there are very few drawers in the interior but plenty of space for at least 3 more even considering the heater ductwork use of space. 2nd was the above $2000 delivery charge from Colorado to Mississippi, the only reason I opted for delivery was that I could not be at their facility during their operating hours to take delivery of the truck. 3rd was the extremely cheap radio antenna that will only receive 2 stations in a 50 mile radius, I have checked multiple vehicles and can receive over 15 channels with any other radio. 4th, the USB/ 12 volt power source quit working 2 months after purchase. They sent a new 1 for me to install, so no big deal. I almost forgot about the additional option beverage cooler that was not even plugged in upon arrival, no problem except for I had to cut a hole in the interior to access the 110 volt receptacle and the temperature adjustment is somewhere behind the cooler, inaccessible. 5th is the use of "butt connectors on every electrical component installed, which in the professional world, are for temporary use only. And the worst is, the useless alarm that goes off at random. I understand that it has motion detection, but I have witnessed it triggering wit no movement within the truck. Also, if the alarm is armed at any time, the right front headlamp will not illuminate for at least 1 day. Leaving the alarm disarmed will eventually rectify the immediate situation. I have tried many different scenarios, and it always comes back to alarm activation and yes, I have checked circuitry immediately at the bulb.
  Lastly, the rear view camera is poor in quality and installation, I can't enen use it so I just cut it off.
  All in all, it seems they used the cheapest components available with far less than stellar installation of my truck anyway.
  Hopefully, mine is a rare occasion of extremely poor luck.
  This company was highly recommended by the tool distributor that I was going to work for but I have warned new dealers to research this heavily.
