    I'm not sure if there are any threads about this but what are your opinions on these new trucks walmart it testing? I know they are made by peterbuilt and are hybrids with the driver seat in the middle of the cab

    Small pieces of the technology will probably be added into newer trucks, but I doubt the total package as seen here will come out. Who knows.

    Trailer sounds like a good idea. Wonder how much more it will cost than a conventional. As for the truck, that is ONE UGLY SUMBEACH!:biggrin_25521:

    I would rather continue to slowly destroy our planet, with the knowledge that I may be completely ruining life for my children and their children, then have to look at those hideous creations!

    I was thinking the same thing, a 53' chunk of carbon fiber that size has to be pricey. I'd be curious to know about repairing it too.

    Micro blue is just for really smart people that run single axle tractors with the KR special trailer. This one has a flux capacitor!
