    Haha I know right, I was so mad about getting out of my 379 and into an aero KW. Then I saw all the gauges and the interior, plus how the sleeper is laid out. Lol. I couldn't help it, I miss my Pete but I'd love to have a w9 now with this new interior and an 86 sleeper.

    I agree about the ride. The spring suspension on the front of my Pete handled better and rode better than this t660, I feel like the wheel is under my seat

    Dunno always thought they looked dumb just look ancient.
    That hood makes it easier to get to stuff to work on despite looks.

    Personally I prefer the goofy looking shape of kw
    T600
    Paint it camo and we good to go.

    The attraction is that peterbuilts look cool... dash resembles that of a jetliner... all those knobs levers switches and buttins... and all those chrome pieces. Non aerodynamic means it sucks on fuel... but at least youll look cool.

    Others in comparison feel more like driving an rv.

    You ever wonder why by there are so many raider fans out there when the team sucks bc so bad? Its cuz of the logo. Its cool man cool..
