Like I said for me this post isn't about reading the comments I'm just commenting myself.
But I assume the responses are in defense of the petro bilt which you don't need to defend. If you like it that's all that matters. This particular gentleman that I met I really felt bad for him though.
But I was down in Maryland last week and I met this guy with the big Pete with the big Cat.
I said, how do you like the Peterbilt? He said, I love it. So I said, is it difficult to back that truck in? He said well it is difficult but you have to get used to it. These trucks are not made to be maneuverable but you have to learn what to do and watch where you go to be able to back in. I can do it but often I find places that are very very tight and it can be difficult sometimes. But I love this truck.
So I said hey that's great that you love your truck. So I said how about the Caterpillar engine? He said, oh man I love it. So I said what about the expense to rebuild it? He said well it's just part of the Big Pete with the big cat. It cost an insane amount of money to rebuild that engine. But it's what I like. And then he said if you're going to buy the Big Pete with the big cat you have to be ready to spend the money that's all there is to it.
So I said hey man I'm glad you're happy. And he said I absolutely love it. I'll buy anything that says Peterbilt on it. I have Peterbilt hats Peterbilt mugs anything that says Peterbilt I will buy.
I said hey man glad you're happy. Take care drive safely.
So sure there are other people out there that are happy to incur the expense and wrestle with their truck every day.
It's not for me but he sure seemed happy.John E. and Wasted Thyme Thank this. -
When I finally got caught with the big trailer I did pull a 4 deck Merritt for a while, but I pulled the boards out for the top deck “to save weight” but really I didn’t want to haul sheep. Haha.wore out, shooter19802003 and BigBob410 Thank this. -
Like I said, I’m not reading these comments and I’ve stopped following the thread but I do want to keep coming back and telling my stories and trying to prove why I’m right…..
Guess I’ve had my fill of troll food this morning. I hear anymore about how he isn’t reading the comments blah blah, I’m gonna have to start drinking way to early
His intense dislike for CAT makes me think he drives a Paccar motor or something.
