    I have driven both the 386 and a t800 a ton and I'd say they are about the same. They have similar angles,

    I own a 2012 386...before a 379. Quite a drastic difference. 386 has a downward slope. View from inside the cab makes it appear almost nonexistent. From outside, the opposite appearance.

    I love my 386. It's everything I wanted cept maybe a 48 inch sleeper instead of the 63. I wish they were still going to make them.
