    I think it was this year they replaced it with the T700 pretty much the same truck though.

    Thanks for the heads-up, I saw your post and added the t2000. The models listed in the forum descriptions were just taken from the current line-ups on manufacturer sites, plus a few older ones that I remembered off the top of my head. If you think of others that were missed, Kenworth or otherwise, let me know and I'll add them.

    I just bought a 2006 T2000 In January. At the same time, a guy I know was picking up a brand new T700. When we compared trucks, it became very apparent that the T700 is nothing more than a T2000 with a different hood & no visor. Dash is identical, Sleeper was pretty much the same. I have no worries about getting parts for my truck for quite a few more years.

    that's good to know.. quick question.. does your cb work in your truck?? mines powers on and i can hear drivers with really strong radios, but i can't hear the average guy or talk to hardly anyone.. the only time i've been able to talk to a driver was when he had the front door and i was about a trailer length away from him.. it worked fine for about a good three hours (ran from Baton Rouge, La to Mobile, Al) then he couldn't hear me anymore, just when i keyed the mic.. Everyone is saying the T2000 has a junk set up for a CB and i need to do an "OutBack Bracket" but i want to keep the stock look, and i see plenty with out the "OutBack Bracket". I'm kinda wondering if i should just get new mounts to replace the 10yr old ones i have now.
