    As far as I know all KW's brake pedals are on the floor. Not sure about the real new trucks though.

    I thought only the clutch pedal on a KW was hung. I'm pretty sure that the brake pedals are on the floor.

    My last one was an 05 and it was on the floor, going to a hung pedal was a real challenge to get used to. Every time that I would hit a bump the truck would jump up and my foot stay in the same place, making me push down on the throttle. It really had me pissed off at first, but as with anything you learn to adapt and change your ways, now that I am used to it I really like it, and wouldn't want to go back to the older style.
