    Why not get a Coronado or a Glider kit and spec what you want?

    I would go for Detroit. DD15 runs like c-15. Detroit has less issues than Cummins, maxxforce, or paccar. If you took Kenworth or Pete, you would end up with selecting Cummins or Paccar. International currently discontinued their EGR/DPF maxxforce engines and moved to EGR/SCR engines like MF13 and Cummins ISX15.

    First off freightliner does not make seats niether does KW, every one is an option, they all sell the same types.
    Around hear people really like the DD15's, and off highway there are quite a few DD16's.
    There is one number they can not lie about that is the EPA number for the max HP it is on the Tag in MM3 of fuel, look it up and it will give you an idea about what the fuel burn will be.
    You have to do it in similar HP ratings to be of use.
    Just a thought!
