    IMG_2161.jpeg Ford didn’t know they were decades ahead of their time with the LTL 9000 , since it had the wide cab .
    And the aero max version was nice too .

    hard to believe this aeromax ford , was from 30 years ago .

    Yep. That’s partly why trucks like this look so good; gotta’ have that “flat back” look.

    Or, do the 1-pc DEF/fuel tank like this.

    Nice thing is the plastic cab mounts should break off pretty easy and the 389 cab can be installed as a warranty fix. Lol

    The featured 589 in the video is a 3-pedal.

    Looks like a 567 cab with a 389 hood on the front of it.


    That digital dash takes some getting used to. It's far from perfect on its best day, but at least they let you rearrange the positions of some of the gauges. I still think they messed up by not including a pyrometer. There's no excuse for that.
