T660 or T700?

Few months late but i have driven both trucks. 660 turns good is lighter by a k or two. The mpgs are good at 7.5 but wow. The 660 is a toy and feels cheap. Rough ride and wind kills it. 700 is solid but heavy and mpgs suck hard. I found the 660 way hard to back and prefer the look out the window of my 700. 700 has a desk tv mount etc. But put a few hundred k on them both a kw will setup a bed cuz you will never leave the shop. Go for the 387 or 587 petes.

 

Hey everyone,

I'm seriously thinking about getting rid of this Volvo and stepping into a T-660. Outside of what I read here, can anyone tell me about the ride? My Volvo is ok, I mean it turns on a dime and rides, well, Ok. The only reason I want to step away from it is because no one will/can work on them and of course if something goes wrong, the closest Volvo dealer will be closed and/or no one else has parts for it. I was thinking of spec'ing the truck with a 485hp Cummins with an Eaton-fuller 13 speed. In about 5-6 months I was thinking about leaving this reefer gig behind and jumping on to flatbed. Do you guys think this is a good start for spec'ing out a truck?

Thanks for any info you guys can provide.

 

You guys should take a hard look at the new T680. Beautiful and handles like a dream according to a friend of mine. Passenger seat rotates 180 degrees to a nice big table and flat screen tv

 

I wasn't sure about the different models,so I went on the KW site.I'd say go with the C500 model.Must be good for pulling 200,000 pounds I like Petes better .

 

after my 2013 t660 started smoking under the hood yesterday I am inclined to agree, even if they are basically the same company anymore. Turns out the EGR is done for.
