    I thought I'd start one on your fav Conway truck? be it Pro Star , Cascadia or Kenworth 660's....

    I just did about 28K in my 2011 Prostar and loved it....no major problems (i got in it at 123k and out at 151k ...

    Starting a new journey in a Cascadia as a team running with Vmaggs...I'm sure we will have a smooth ride (LoL)

    I have been in a T-660 and a Prostar during my limited time with Conway. I currently have a 2012 Prostar that I received new and now has only 24000 miles on it.

    I have had a few minor issues with it but nothing that put me in the shop for more than about an hour or two. The bunk heater worked much better in the Kenworth and the batteries lasted a lot longer when I did use it. I like the size of the cab in the Prostar, I can stand up with no issues and it has plenty of space. With that said it would be so much better with two live axles and a 13-speed, but that probably goes without saying.

    Just my 2 cents.

    2 live axles and a 13 speed? you mean my Cascadia, roomy, smooth ride, and she pulls a hill pretty ###### well.

    Not for long??? how many miles do you have,,hey I talked to Steve in the shop,,big changes coming this way for truck assignments,,You Cascadias are on the "Hot sheet" just an FYI

    And oh I have drove all of them except 660(same as the 600 so its a push),and I recovered a Volvo so i had it like 5 days
    T-2's I had both cummins ISX & Cat,cummins hands down better
    T-600-(3 of them) 2 ISX,1(my Black one) Cat,,,eeehh okay trucks but to #### smal
    Cascadia-2 ea,1st one was to run miles off and at the end I was in Slidell Freightliner for 10 days(nuf said huh?) 2nd was an absolute dream I got when i cme back from Family medical Leave,,recovered in Atlanta and was 2nd driver,clean as a pin and drove very well,but alas it was shortlived as the got me back to the mothership joplin to trade out for a Prostar,i like it,but like another said,1 more axle and a 13 and it wouls be near perfect,but i run SE Regional and as such it hasnt been an issue
     
    The Challenger and paul_4lp Thank this.

    They added Cascadias to that lease program and they want out of them,,,the limited warranty was added after they reached 400,000(it wasa 200,000) so do the math i guess,,say 4 You about "July-ish" maybee,,IDK:biggrin_25515:

    They can't have zoomer till they force me to let go. I spend too much time out to be in a coffin sleeper.
