Why would you buy a kenworth over a freightliner?

I want something that earns me some.money right now.

 

You talking legal???? This might be the wrong website.

 

Because Freightliners are plastic, snap together, Tonka toy junk. They are all right for about 100k then they start coming apart and turn into to rattle traps.

 

Not all Freightliners..... The FLD was prob the best truck made for many years. Unfortunately, Freightliner was bought by Chrysler and they wanted to make everything into plastic tonka toys. But the pre-2000 FTL's weren't bad (FLD and Classic)

 

Interesting, I have a Freightliner with 1.4 million on it. Runs just fine.

 

And Volvo rides even better, so better go with a Volvo!

 

He said a KW "rides better". Trust me, a Volvo has better ride quality than a KW. Not saying the truck is better, just that aspect. I've had them both.

 

funny he talks about freightliners being plastic and snap together. I recall kenworth pull T2000 off the line because they had a major issue with side panels of the truck falling off. My buddy bought 3 brand new when they came out and all 3 got totaled with in a year and 1 of them was just going to the pa pike when the passenger side started flying off the truck.

I look at my old classic 96 and my dads 2000 classic and pics of all my FLD120 and classics and i see lots of rivets and bolts, not snaps. As for the comment he is thinking of saying after reading this. the dash is made of the same plastic materail. and they all break.

 

Now as to why you pick what truck. thats all in what body lines you like what setup you like. I mean really they all use the same motors for the most part, the same trannies, the same rears. same rims, and all can use the same tires. so therefor only thing left different is the body and cab setup
