2008 T-2000 KW? What should I know about this?

How is volvo turning compare to T2000?

 

I've never driven a T-2000 but in watching other driver's maneuver a trailer, I'd say that the Volvo is somewhat better. Of everything I've driven (T-600, 379, 9200, 9900, Century, Columbia, Classic and daycabs), the only tractors that are more maneuverable are the daycabs.

 

I was just kidding about the 2 strikes. The Volvo is the quietest, most comfortable big truck on the market for my money and I have nothing but good things to say about the I-shift transmission. This is a very pleasant truck to drive.

 

It's ugly, what else do you need to know?

 

I'm not a wrench turner but I never saw anything out of the ordinary. The first one I drove had an ISX and the filter systems on the D series engines appear about the same. Realistically, though, I have no clue.

 

I'm going to sit on top of the Dog House for this. Nothing wrong with any make of truck your desire. Nothing wrong with an automatic. The most fun I have had driving anything was a KW fancy insides. Allison automatic. Front load garbage truck. My 15 over don't overheat. An auto will get fussy in mountains. A manual don't.

 

In the older Volvos (pre I-shift), both the Meritor Freedomline & Fuller Ultrashift automatics were offered. The Meritor is a 12 speed and except for a bell & whistle or two, is every bit as good as the 12-speed I-shift. The Fuller is problematic; if they're programmed correctly, they're a good 10-speed. If not, they're a bit of a pain in the butt. They're still better than a manual in rush hour stop & go traffic but not as good as they could be. Good luck.
