My new truck will be

But you also had to wait for Schneider to get all their gliders before they would make yours..... the perks of having a few hundred million dollars in revenue with Freightliner for them i guess LOL

 

Congratulations on the new truck. I stopped by Kenworth today and that is one sweet truck. I can't wait to hear how you like it.

 

that is point of 6x2 ,
and they use less tires because two drive axles each push it its way ,best traction control would not help you if you dont have weight on axle

i understand if you are afraid of selling that truck later but all arguments from technical point are on 6x2:

fuel economy, comfort,empty weight, drivability(6x2 dont push forward when turning or taking bends), turning radius , tire usage, traction in slippery conditions,even suspension components last longer because less strain but it is not that noticeable

6x4 is only needed for driving on soft ground and much higher weights

 

Congratulations on the new truck purchase

 

PeteSalesGuy I sent you a PM

 

please send an update on how that tranny works with the rears. i knew cummins claimed it gets better at lower rpms but most guys i know have been changing trannys or rears to get them up alittle. but i think you said you will be around 1400 so you might be great they where running the 1150 to1300 range and said the power was not there and the mpg dropped did the swap got up around 1400 1500 range and said they are doing better. so would love to hear how yours does...

PS congrats

 

Grats on the new truck. Can't wait to see the pictures when you get it in.

 

I'm still wondering what's wrong with the way you speced it. I think you did an excellent job. I sat in one at the KW dealer. Finally a KDub with leg room on the floor. No 45 deg upward slope to the firewall. All kinds of places to stretch your legs. Congrats I'm jealous!!!!

 

Yeah, I couldn't believe how much room there was and how well the interior was designed. I was really impressed.
