    Great trucks, I would drive one if I didn't like the T800 so much.

    I hope you get a good one, did they improve the turning radius? Thats about the only complaint i have with mine it's an 03.

    I honestly do not think that the turn radius is improved, thats the downside of a non set back front axle and in general a long truck.

    There is more to a W900 than just the shape... you didnt mention what engine, transmission and other specs you ordered... they are all different even though they come in the same shell.

    truckin cowboy,

    I'm not sure what ride you are coming out of, but if it's aero, you'll be surprised at just how big that hood really is. I was amazed the first time I drove a W900L.

    From the time you placed the order untill delivery is only 4 weeks? Is that correct? Pretty swift....er bad word....pretty quick!

    Which sleeper did you get? Did you get the top bunk? Did you get the fridge or are you going to use a cooler? Did you get the front window curtians or only the sleeper ones? Did you get the chain rack and/or tool box? What color inside and outside? Which carpet did you get? Did you go with the panel dash? Which seats did you pick out?
    Got 100 more questions ya gotta give us some info so we can help you .......
    We love "Gus" who is an 07. The only work that has been done was when a rookie drove over his front bumper. He has gone over 250,000 miles with no breakdowns. He gets serviced as soon as its due he has had 3 (?) I know for sure 2 overheads. Gets a bath once a week and chrome done every other week. He is not dogged or put up wet LOL. Yes at times he gets more attention than me or David LOL I cant stand bugs in his teeth~Blue beacon HATES me I make them rewash him to get all the bugs.

    cowboy,

    Again I ask, just out of curiousity, how long from the day you ordered the truck, untill they told you it would be delivered? 4 weeks, is that right?
