    spoken like a company driver....

    what are the rest of the specs on these trucks? tranny, gears, tires, etc.

    what are the gauge packs in the dash etc.

    Based solely on what you provided, take the Freightliner, the Detroits are harder to piss off (i.e. break something) versus a CAT for a new driver...

    You decide

    Only one way to keep more jobs from going south support the ones we have here. Support our troops support our workers.

    And what is your point is that anywhere near Mexico. My point is if we want the country to regain what was lost in the past few years we have to take a stand with the companies that have no problems shipping the jobs to other countries then expect us to buy the product. Myself I would take the KW just for that reason.

    What car is in the dtive way? If uou want a 100% American made personal vehicle the answer will floor you! Any vindor for it has to build their plant on site of their plant. So American workees in a American plant use American goods to make the Toyota tundra! Dig out any gauge in your kw and see where it was made? My brother had a buu American kick a few years back! He had bought a f350, a Cadillac, and 4 john deere. And I had a Nissan. So I toke him for a walk and showed him his f350 was made in mexico, his Cadillac in Canada, 2 deere Brazil, and the other 2 Canada. My Nissan, Kansas. Paccar has plants out side the us also!
