Well Les I guess you can keep thinking that, but the rest of us KNOW that an FL will never have the class that a couple of the following KWs have.


77 W900



78 W900



51 needle nose KW

Rating a freighskanker in the same league as paccar is laughable.

Freightshakers are bush league.

I buy a lot of #### with that $400 and I'm 6'3" and reaching the pass seat is not a problem
I have 2 w9s and now to freightliner and I can drive whichever one I want and most of the time I choose the frieghtliners as cookies are not a decideing factor for me

Stunningly ironic that Peterbilt came out with a 63" standup unibilt, only to have freightliner come out with a copycat version I call the "wannabilt"

Les, in all seriousness that truck you posted does not look to shabby. I kind of think it's the best looking one FL has come out with. (But it's still a Freightshaker LOL)

The color doesn't do it for me!


Other wise like I've said before the truck style is tolerable. I think FL modeled the body after the 379.
