    While very nice and fancy, ain't no way in hell our trucks will be equipped like that with all the bells and whistles.

    Altho they look nice and seem to have made great strides in driver comfort and convenience, this is a TOTALLY redesigned truck, inside and out. I would be extremely weary with any 1st edition. There are gonna be a number of kinks to work out before they "perfect"it

    It's Updated partially inside and out.

    It's the same Crapcadia Body and Corporate Chassis that's been out for the last 8 years.

    Redesigned means new tooling for the Body, Chassis, etc.

    It's the same crappy Crapcadia Body with a new hood, headlights, redesigned fairings and available upgraded interior.

    It's a Marketing Ploy to state that it's a totally new truck so the Sheep will believe it and run and buy it.

    2018.

    It's nice when fully upgraded. As far as people saying freightliner is crap... yeah, my crappy crapcadia with my awesome dd15 is way better than that shiny kw with that not so shiny paccar.

    If prime gets the fully upgraded interior ones on their company trucks, I'll #### a brick and come work there.

    My problem with them is they bounce too much for team driving. We never got any sleep. If I was a single driver it wouldn't be as bad, but I still like my KW much better.

    The truck, the road, or the driver not being soft?
    'Cause you do something like I-71S thru Cincinnati when your partner is trying to sleep..... Nope.

    Just a passing notion. I couldn't team. Can't sleep in a moving vehicle anymore. The ability nor the trust are there. I'd probably go 4 days sleepless, start to hallucinate, then...... well, we won't talk about what happens to you.
    :violent1:
    Props to you teamers.
