I am a "folk" with a few years under my belt, and would have answered right away except I saw this
The first fun response, but mine would be Playmate of the Month (or current equivalent). I forgot to quote an earlier reply by someone who said he had no use for a sleeper.....with the PotM that sleeper is going to come in mighty handy. (equal opportunity Ladies, you can select your "optional equipment" correspondingly).

on edit: I thought Steel Dragon was wanting $500K cash so that he would no longer have fuel costs, my internet is so slow I didn't see the video until the screen refreshed. ApologiesLast edited: Nov 2, 2017
Reason for edit: misunderstanding -
The $500,000 is a million mile lease..anyone care to do the math?

Right now I am in a Crapcadia that is the antithesis of what I listed, and it sucks as much as I anticipated. -
What's the point in having an air-ride seat if you keep it on the floor?bottomdumpin, Feedman, 207nomad and 1 other person Thank this.

I don't like to ride on the floor per se, but I do like to ride lower than most truck seats sit from the factory. If on the floor I could adjust it to the height I like without having to cut the frame up and reweld it.Ruthless and StrokerTSi Thank this.

You know the driver's cool if you can only see from the nose up through the driver's side window. Oh, and half the window has to be covered.Big_D409, bottomdumpin and 207nomad Thank this.

They're even cooler if they have aero discs on the wheels, hidden exhaust, no visor, and fender mirrors three feet tall. People always want to know about the 2013 white Cascadia, they never ask about the stretched frame Peterbilt or KW pulling a spread axle cattle pot. Yep, those fleet trucks get
all the time.

This one right here. 389, 550 Cummins 18 speed, uncut, and lights for days.
