    I haven't been inside a Crete truck in a long time. Will be interesting to hear if they have gotten any better. My first Crete truck didn't have power mirrors. Had to carry a Walking Cane to adjust the passenger side mirror when backing up. Did 62 mph, no fog lights or bunk windows either. Plastic seat covers, on guard and wake you up in the middle of the night opti idle. Never again.

    I thought everybody knew that when you set the opti idle and the dashlights start to blink you tap the gas pedal and it overrides it? Guess not.

    Trucks have gotten better. Still only 65mph, but new trucks come with refrigerators and inverters. Trucks from the last couple years have inverters. Much better than they were 10 years ago
     
    Bumper and Lekwid Thank this.

    Also, do you have an option to fuel at different places such as Loves and Pilot.
    OR are you told to go to XYZ to fuel 100 gallons then go ABC and fuel 51 gallons.
