    There are pros and cons for both. Having driven both for Climate, i prefer the Freightshaker. For one, there's a few more inches of room. There's more storage space. The guys in the shop told me these have more hp. And I believe it. Another driver and I were climbing I80 to NJ. Both of us were out of AOD, so same load. We started side by side at the bottom of the hill, and by the time I got to the top I couldn't see him anymore. Didn't see him the rest of the trip. I Love the Detroit engine. I miss the seats with the biscuit warmers in them. They were more therapeutic than to heat my biscuits! lol

    The color listed on the Volvo door is Med Taupe. That's certainly a lighter color than the Freightliners.

    That's exactly how they look to me as well. Definitely a fan of that color.

    Lol that seat warmer sure is beneficial, my back was hurting the other day and I turned it on, talk about relief! In your case, talk about a hot ###

    It's ok I guess, just don't care for how their blue lettering doesn't stand out. They should stick with the volvos. They were always really dependable, it seemed.
