Cab heat is a must in cold climates. I'm no longer currently living in Fairbanks (Although I do need to go back up there one more time and move out) but work may take me to Illinois, which can be similarly cold in the winter.
One of my old roommates and neighbors once did a run in an M923A2 from Barstow, CA to Phoenix, AZ to Portland, OR to Fairbanks, AK...pretty much nonstop. I think the PDX>FAI part took them only like 3 days, driving pretty much 24/7 taking turns.

I've always wanted one, and bid on one once, but I'm currently way underfunded for one and way under equipped to handle the maintenance they require. Just filling up that hydraulic tank alone can cost a grand.
I always thought an M35A3 could be a neat daily driver, no CDL needed and still the M series "feel". But the A3s seem to command a lot more $$ in general.
