    The 567 is the best of all the 5 series cabs I think, was seriously considering one in 2020 with the equivalent of a 63" flat top and couldn't bring myself to do it, wish I did it was priced at like $160 then, I could get that now for it used. DIdn't like the paccar motor in it though either


    Also agree with dtibbit the 386 was the sharpest looking aero truck ever made, they need to make a 586, I would look at those to

    The 63” (72” now) flattop was never offered with a wide cab because they never engineered a roof cap for it. It will be interesting to see if they start offering it when the 589 comes to market or if it will remain only the two smaller flattops available.

    The 2.1 aero cab looks goofy with the boxy sleeper and hood. I don’t like it one bit.

    Your right, it was the equivalent to the 48" like 53" or 58" whatever they call it now
     
    Vampire, Oxbow and Long FLD Thank this.

    I DO think this 567 looks really good. The 2-tone breaks up the monotony of a single color on this model.

    It looks sharp outside. I just cant get with that dash. To me its just like driving a chevy pickup. I wanna have regular gauges and switches , like big trucks have. Not sure why all manufactures are going away from that. Guess most people like computer screens instead.

    It looks a lot better than I planned on it looking. A friend sent it to me and at first glance I just thought he sent me a pic of a 389. Now that I've noticed the differences, I'm sure it won't happen again. I'd have to get a good 360 view of it, but I like it so far.
     
    Vampire Thanks this.
