    Sweet ride!

    Wheel base isn’t bad, you shouldn’t have any problem. Just got to relearn your setup for backing it up.

    My Peterbilt is 286” and I don’t feel handicapped by it whatsoever.

    • yes, Multiple times. Honestly the truck was great and we did keep up on with the scheduled maintenance but this summer/fall we were paying out repair bills equal to a monthly payment just to keep it running. It was time and my team driver is excited to have a kitchenette and shower.:D
