Are Volvos the only trucks with dinettes?

...lol What a waste!

When I was in my 2019 Cascadia Evolution, all I could think about was making my own kind of sleeper. I bet you could tear some of these things down with an electric drill and use some freakin' lumber to make your own.

 

Only the Volvo VNL 770, 730, 780 and 860 came standard from the factory with the full size work station.

 

I forget what year it was but I saw a 379 with that Murphy bed/dinette set up. Also my limited edition classic xl has it.

 

I see. So when I search for them, I wanna look for those model numbers? Cause I notice when I poke around on used truck websites, there's really not any options or keywords for "dinette" on any of the ads.

 

For Volvo trucks, the official name is actually called a Workstation.

It is available are as an option on the VNL760, 740 and VNX740, but are standard equipment on the models I mentioned in my previous post.

 

Recent kenworths can have a table that swings out. My 2016 t680 has it and I get plenty of use out of it.

 

the table thingy was about a $7k upgrade on the 2020 Cascadias.

 

What’s the matter with these truck designers, that tiny refrigerator is useless and up charging $7k for a Driver’s lounge that should be standard for the price they’re asking for a new truck these days.

 

Turn signal & seat belts were options at one time. Just wait til an old hand chimes in about not having air ride seats.
