    Not a whole lot of room in them, but the Kenworth T-660's come with the Cummins ISX. Drove a 2012 model with 450hp. and a 13 speed transmission, and don't know what it had for rears, but I was NEVER the last one up a hill, and un-Governed I was getting 7.5mpg. on computer, and 7.8mpg. on paper.

    Take a look at the Western Star also. Not many fleets have them so not a lot of people really know them but with all the room in one of them you need two zip codes.

    If it was me I'd take the 59 and run. Then go put it ALL down on a Pete 579 with what ever bunk suited me best. Highest torque Cummins $ can buy. I personally prefer 18 spd, 2.64 or 2.79 or 3.08 rears. I pull a tank so I would put tall rubber on it. Just gear it to cruise @ 1100-1200 rpm. Just my $0.02...
