I'm a traditionalist (either that, or I've seen Smokey And The Bandit one time too many). While some of those aero tractors are nice and spiffy on the inside, they just don't match up with my idea of what a truck is supposed to look like. Aerodynamics and fuel economy be ######; why mess with something that was perfected 40, 50, or more years ago?
I might change my tune after driving one, but I don't think that's likely.
Naturally, the preceding is my own opinion. Owner-operators should drive what they like, and like what they drive.wanna_be_trucker and camaro68 Thank this. -
Guess I'm old school w900,379,classic any day over these outer space looking trucks I know its bad when I think Volvo has one or the better looking new trucks
-
The only aero truck I'd like is a 387, but I'll keep my 379, drive it right, it gets good mpg.DrtyDiesel Thanks this. -

The t660 w9 love child or could even be the t800 and the t660 got busy one night lol hard to say......but i wonder since only the hood and breathers are different really how much better would that truck be over just getting a w9 cause #### aint nothing sexier then a nicely done up hoodDrtyDiesel Thanks this. -
