    "Pullin" power is relative. It doesn't matter the brand, it is how it is spec'd out. What many seem to not realize is that the brand is only the cab and chassis. Everything else is made by third parties. Everything from brakes to engines to drivetrain is made by someone else than KW or Pete and is spec'd to the customer's likes. Just saying a truck brand out pulls another is not very insightful and so "highshool". Even cab comfort is relative to how it is spec's out.

    The sad part about it is, if you spec a KW and a FL IDENTICAL. Meaning exact same parts as much as possiable there isn't really much of a difference new. How a lot of FL are listed cheaper new is because they usually spec cheaper parts. Nothing wrong with that as long as someone knows what their looking for, but most look at the price alone and assume the KW/Pete is overpriced.
