    Seen a few different companies get the 680's already with the paccar motor, yea I guess they (bigger companies) can buy them already, as test trucks...?

    Just read on the company blog apparently it is going to be a test truck and they don't expect to get many of them, mainly to test the new Cummins motor coming out. At least that is what I got from the blog.

    New cummins? Haven't heard about it, that would be great instead of that DAF/paccar motor...

    Like I said, just read it on the millis blog, not sure how true it is.

    The paccar pulls really good but they are having trouble putting miles on them. I have read about motors going at 300k miles

    They are going to start replacing the Maroon Freightshakers and 210xx trucks soon, from what was said at the last safety meeting. If they can spec the t680 to be lighter than the t700 than they will end up getting them I would imagine. Its all about the weight, then fuel eco. and then somewhere goes driver comfort.

    At MATS Cummins representative swore the 2013 engine will be the same, except a few censors and some programming difference.
