    Does anyone know what options come on the Volvo's? Was told by my rep that not a lot of garages will work on the Volvo which I knew but there is one around me but that will not help me if I break down some place without a lot of Volvo mechanics.

    Talked to dedicated fleet services and they said that the Volvo was an electrical nightmare.

    If it is spec'd with some of the same features as the KW I would consider it as the Volvo is what I really wanted but was told no fridge, table, or tv stand like the new KW.

    That is what DFS mechanic said. But I have always liked them. I could not get anyone let me look inside them while I was in Charlotte.
    Right now I have a Spinnaker Blue KW reserved but I can always change if need be. I still have 3 months left and the truck is not built yet.
    Would like Volvo with leather seats fridge and tri-pac but we shall see.

    Seems most Volvos have part of the front bumper missing.
    The fairings go rattling down the road. Looks like they are ready to fly off.

    They have Fridge, work station, power windows, Remote entry, Tripac.

    I've driven Freightliner, Kenworth, Peterbilt and Volvo. They've all had issues at one time or another but the Volvo ride was the best of them all. The auto is amazing and I'd buy one tomorrow if my Lease was up.
