    I recently found out that Kenworth not only still makes COE tractors but they have developed a new one. The K200 is currently sold in Austrailia in a right side drive format. Conflicting information says that they may be offering it in the USA... Or not. For those interested in seeing this truck I've posted some links below. This truck is nothing like the old "lie down to get dressed and crawl into the bunk" COE's of the past. It is said to even post some pretty good mpg stats.

    Look at the interior pic again click on the down button.... flat floor, no more laying down to get dressed, they been doing that for a couple of years now. I think the Freightliner Argosy (available in USA) is the same way.

    Never had to lie on my back to get dressed in my 83 K-100. Just stood behind the driver's seat and got dressed. It was a 108 inch cab Aerodyne. Still had to crawl over the doghouse, though.

    Never laid on my back either. My 91 FLB was a condo, but still had space behind the seat to stand if it wasn't.

    It doesn't look much different then the K100. I wonder if it rides better now?
