    I pretty much only buy KW's in the last few years, and my dealer has been telling me for a year that this is coming. I don't buy w9's anymore because I'm old and like things like comfort and positive cash flow. But I do wish I had the 200 w9's and 379's that I sold for $15k a piece back in 03.

    Looks a lot like a western star or an international something to me, I don't know what they're models are.

    How many longhoods do they sell a year? At 130 to 160k a pop, or however ridiculous they've gotten who's just going write that money off every year?

    Im thinking this is what is up. Kinda like Pete selling the 389 and 567SA along side each other. Narrow cab, old school hood truck alongside the new wide cab little bit more aero new school hood truck.

    That 160k w900 is still worth 75k 85k at 400k miles unlike the plastic trucks.. kw isn’t getting rid of the w9.. just because the mega fleets doesn’t buy them doesn’t mean they aren’t selling.. fyi I drive a plastic truck so this is a real world opinion and not a biased one

    It’s the sleeper. That’s an International Pro Sleeper with Studio Sleeper doors on it. It like expecting nude pics of Jennifer Anniston, but instead getting Chaz Bono.

    Looks very similar but I think the T880 sleeper is a closer match:

    This one's missing the sun visor though.
