It's laughable that some on here want to bash the Freightliner. Freightliners have made a lot of money for a lot of truckers and companies...including mine. While the Classic XL is very good, it's not considered to be as "classic" as the great 379...Pete and KW don't have anything that can touch the Century or Cascadia in aerodynamics...not even close, actually.

We aren't talkin aero. We were talkin style.

With the T600 and now the T660 you can have style that FL doesn't come close to.
Style and aero.

I like the freightshaker FL classic. I like the look of the long hood, but am used to this columbia and would probably be hittin stuff with the hood. I sit up higher in this and can see better over the sloped hood.

The superior driver is the one that can adapt.


I went from a T600 to a W900L.

Ya can't argue with ego, doesn't matter what the topic. We'll just have to accept the fact that Peterbilt and Kenworth owners are the superior drivers. Their trucks are far superior as well as their driving skill.......
