    Kw 660 for aerodynmaics and resale value. Not a fan of Freightliners so 2nd choice would be The Volvo vt 88o.
    Brickmans stretched out 660 post looks awesome but too big for east coast running especially in the cities.

    If money were no object... I'd go with Kenworth's new T700 and put a Bentz 150" custom sleeper. To bad they are no longer in business, but if money were no object I'm sure they or someone with the drawings would be inclined to make one for me. I'd spec the truck with a 600hp Cummins engine and a 13 speed transmission, no need for 18 gears, extra weight. Now that I think about it... it depends on what I'm gonna haul. I might as well get two trucks, another one speced for heavy hauling. Planetary rear ends... the whole nine. As long as money were no object I'd have a truck for each application. I might end up with 5 or more trucks!

    If money were no object, it would be a Kingsley Coach. That's the only truck I would be driving. Retired and traveling.

    No interior pictures, but I've traveled in one with a band I played with for about a year.
    Kingsley makes whatever kind of interior you want, from a standard RV type interior to a luxury coach with marble floors and gold plated faucets, etc. You can basically get whatever truck you want on the front. It's like a tour bus with a big truck on the front. A friend of mine down the road was part of the company and had one with a Freightliner Cascadia pulling the load. It was just too cool. He later had one with a little shorter living area and had a back porch on it with railing, rockin' chair and all on the back. He liked to watch the sun come up and have his coffee in different places. One day when I win the lottery, I'm going to have one. It's just a Big Truck, but it's got one helluva sleeper on it. :biggrin_25523:
