I don't know where in Tennessee you are, but the Crown and Raymond dealers are the leaders in most of the state. I have worked for both Crown and Raymond, and have found Crown has a slight edge currently on the best truck. They offer A/C drive and lift. They may have been slower in coming out with the A/C units but they just waited for the dust to settle before picking the best controls and motor combinations. They let the competition make all the mistakes. The Raymond dealer in Tenn. is very thin with skilled techs. I haven't talked to the Crown people reciently. They had highly skilled people too. Check the dealers response time for service calls. They may have the best times but poorest techs, or the worst times and best techs. Do your homework. You won't go wrong with Raymond or Crown for narrow aisle in Tenn.
I don't work in Tenn. any more.
