    Sadwar, good luck with the new ride when the time comes. Personally, I think you're better off with the FTL. I love my Kenworth T-700 but it's ####### heavy!!! Can't carry over 43,000lbs, 12000lbs on steers bobtailing.

    NO, you choose from what they order unless you put down half of the cost of the truck. LOL

    nah they're not, I've done this same beer load before.
    A t-700 is bigger than a 680 I believe.

    I think the big difference is the motor. It holds 14 gal of oil plus how cummins designed the emission system. And all my goodies in here doesn't help.
