    The one thing I don’t like, and it’s the same on the new T680’s, is all the unpainted black plastic on the tank fairings. I’m sure the design team had their reasons though.

    I wonder if this is the 2nd gen '24 model? We have some 24 Volvo's. They dont look like these. I'm wondering if they are 2024 2nd generation or if they are really the 2025's?

    Yep, I use hood mirrors just as much as door mirrors.
    Hopefully, they'll be on ours.

    So is the 77" sleeper no more? I read only 74" now. All while Paccar offers 76", 80" and 86". How about something ground breaking like a 90" sleeper with running water and sink like International offered in the 1980s or Volvo in the 1990s? Would that be too much dignity to not have to brush our teeth or wash our hands and face from a plastic water bottle Volvo? Or how about a nice 9 cubic ft. refrigerator like l run in the Studio Sleeper that can hold a weeks worth of groceries?

    You will say big fleets won't pay for that, yet the fleets that did would have so much recruitlment from offering these basic human wants, especially for the females you love to show in your YouTube videos. What a lack of vision not helping improve the lives the of the Drivers that make these companies all their money. I really wonder if you even asked an actual Driver about what they want.

    I agree it kind of looks out of place. Gonna guess they did this so they could replace parts that get damaged without having too spend to much money and paint stuff. Just a guess.
