    If true, that's pretty interesting -- a shortage of red paint? Pretty wild that International would have that many of other colors "just laying around" in inventory...

    I dig the blue and the green, not so much the pink/sand and purples. Those reflexively register in my head as belonging to Prime's palette. And I've had good luck with my '13 Prostar in the six months I've had her. Biggest tragedy was the front HVAC blower dying on day five. Less then a two hour fix in Gary and I was on my way.

    Hope one of those is my new trainer truck. Sick of my freightshaker. Looks like van trucks though.

    Is there another option for a trainer truck? They had a few guys try a T2000 for training but there was less room than the Freightliner condos.

    I dunno but the prostars weren't bad. Way more room than freightliners.

    It sure doesn't seem that way to me. I had a Cascadia and just recently got a Prostar. The Cascadia seemed a lot more roomy to me. It was also more comfortable to drive. The seat was a lot more comfortable, and it shifts better. I do like the layout of the cabinets/shelves in the back of the Prostar better though.

    To me the seat is very comfy, just play with all the air settings, also sometimes my back goes out, and the button that does the air massage or whatever it's actually called is great, probably option in every make of truck. The shifting thing, I don't know, I don't know how an Eaton would be all that different from a Freightliner, Pete, KW, or international. I only know that mine is a bit sticky when cold.

    Depends on definition of big guy. I'm about 240 lbs now was heavier when started in this truck, (prostar) and I like the seat.
