Window visors are a joke. Don't roll down side windows as you will be aggravated to no end with whistle from wind going around mirrors. Lots of good things though and more good than bad for sure. Will update this a little at a time but I do like the auto temp feature on hvac controls. The mirrors are also great.
Bed and mattress first class. Front wrap around curtains need some improvement but thick and well made. The seats are also really nice! The fridge is big and holds a lot and has the cabinet door front. More to come!
This has a Cummins by the way. 450 horse a little weak in the hills.

Ok sorry to have asked the name of the COMPANY I can understand keeping private but the type of trailer should not be considered TOP SECRET, only asked type of trailer to figure out why a 450 HP CUMMINS is sluggish on hills , I have a few and they run decent

How is it mechanically because I am looking into one I am stuck between t680 and 579 I am a pete guy and always have been. They are both made by paccar and for me its only a cummins as the engine because paccar engines have been getting some bad reviews no matter what truck model they are put in. Thanks for any feedback and I also pull reefer.

What's the gearing. May be the issue with the hills.

I just bought the 579 picking it up on Monday , I went with paccar 500hp 13spd, I have not heard any bad reviews with the new paccar engines they have been around along time and got all the kinks out, I also own a volvo 2013 cummins 13spd and has a lot of Regen issues , but they have also fixed all the kinks now, both engines are good, most issues these days are because of the aftertreatment system, or poor driving skills.
Lucar Thanks this. -
