because the shorter the length the more places you can put it
just ask my ex girlfriend -
It also means more of the engine is crammed under the cab. Mechanics love them.
-
Aerodynamics as well.

long nose pete roll'n down the interstate.
member cab overs they sure went to the curb. -
lol got it so its a maneuverability change they look stupid to me i drove a M2 setup like that and it was always hot in the truck

Yeah I know aerodynamic trucks have their advantages, but nothing will ever look as good as a traditional long hood with the external air cleaners, etc...
There are tradeoffs with every different type of vehicle, long hoods are nice because they're easier to work on, ride better with an equivalent wheelbase, etc. -
Most of those short hood cascadias I see have a smaller DD13 in them, not the DD15. Just look for the little tag on them by the front of the door. I see them all in daycabs though no trucks with sleepers.

Being a noob, what's the Kia and Caddy of trucks? Seems to me the Prostar is on the low end of things and the Westernstar is on the high end. I'm prob totally wrong. Thoughts?
