Nice design, damned shame Freightliner makes them

Looks like a Cascadia and an International ProStar had a baby...

My thoughts exactly. The headlights look a lot like the ProStar.

I'm not saying it looks bad, just... Different. I would really like to see us go with the KW T680. Got a friend who works over at Estes, he loves his.

Unfortunately I bet they'll be automatics.

I found this picture.

That front bumper will last about a month. lol

If that... I'm guessing maiden voyage just like the Titanic...

 

[Frootloop]

An ugly truck just got uglier, imo.

Bet we dont order them with the extended bumper package. Our stupid dumb dock to CDL thugs will tear that off the first day the drive it along with the clutch.

Yet it will never be reported as an accident...just fell off while the truck was parked in the yard!

10 speed.Like I have said before the auto's are not getting the fuel mileage.Don't see OD buying any until they get it worked out

That's good. Driving in the mountains and snow and ice I prefer the 10 speed. When I was p@d I would have preferred automatic.

How was the seat Kenneth. I heard they are upgrading them. Any difference that you could feel?

I haven't set in it.Seat looks no different than the new seats that they are putting in the 17's.If you haven't seen the new seats they have more lumbar and seat support adjustments than the old style seat.Still feels like a board.lol

Oh well...I was hoping they would upgrade it for us. My 16 is like riding on a 2x4 for 10 hours. Should have taken the one out of the 13 and hide it in the shop somewhere.
