    I was fueling in Bordentown Nj at the Petro and there was a sweet Metallic red T600 next to me, didn't have the nose cone on the roof looked like new paint, big bunk, some chrome( not too much) a few lights (again not too much) it did have straight stacks tho And they were up the sides (I've never seen a 600 with that) it was hooked to a flat deck real clean well kept truck. Wish I had my phone with me to take a pic. Anybody else seen this truck or even own it?? I like my 387 but after seeing this 600 kikkin my but for not lookin at one. , very sweet ride for sure. :yes2557:

    I was going to consider a T600 but when I looked at one, I decided the ####pit area was way too narrow for my liking. I know a lot of people that have 'em and love 'em.

    ..got a 03' t600 bought brand new..had 2 big issues these past 10 years with it costing 15g total along with being up to date with oil and all that good stuff truck gets just under 6mpg..runs great, I LOVE it ####pit is a little narrow for a team but for single its great, anyone have a new T700 thinking about getting one just because of the wider ####pit and much bigger sleeper..not to mention fuel efficiency..

    Only downfall on the T700 is they place a cabinet directly behind the drivers seat so you can not slide the seat all the way back for taller people such as myself. The seat hits the cabinet and is just a poor design. But if you are under 6' tall you may not have this problem.

    I do not own one, just looked at buying one last spring and drove one around for a day. I'm only 6'2" but I'm all legs. I could not slide the seat all the way back and tilt it to my comfort. Just something to keep in mind when you go look at one.
