well so id have to agree with Bayou, One of our O/O upgraded to a 05 379x from a 99 379, and I had never driven a 379 and Id also say that at 6'5" tall, I wasnt impressed.
FL gets a bad rap but my Coronado is layed out way better..and the Clutch in the paccars are terrible!!

Fan Hub took a crap, tried to run with it screaming to make my delivery (Only 5 miles from Jubitz) Stopped it before it took the radiator out but scrapped the blades up good, so for New Hub, New Fan, Belts, Coolant, and new Fan Clutch Bill came up to 1700 + the Tow @ Jubitz..Cetane+ and Oscar the KW Thank this.

It's not all of Canada and they are allowed in, but treated as a single axle @ 20,000# . BC definitely enforces it. AB & SK don't seem to care, if the high number of fully loaded spreads is any indication. Legal in ON & QC, I think. I see lots of spreads in the Vancouver area as well these days. Since the Port Mann scale has been taken out, it seems pretty easy to sneak in at night and leave empty during the day. If you know the area.
The official reason that I've been given is that spreads are too hard on our soft roads. I've heard that our roads are built to a standard better suited to California's climate. -
It's the gas peddle that gets me, my buddy drives a 05 Pete he drove mine today and said ya the peddle sucks his Pete mounts to the floor. I'm not sure why they don't swivel.

Should have bought a Star Car. I've got all the leg room I want in this truck. The underneath of the dash is completely open and I can drive with both my legs stretched out if I want. It's great for a bad knee
-
W900 has plenty of leg room. He's talking about the ergonomic horizontal gas pedal.
-
He's not kidding. I actually have to take my work boot off my right foot while driving or my leg cramps up.
It feels to me like you have to come up over it, if that makes sense. I started keeping a pair of tennis shoes in that truck just so I can drive it.Last edited: Jan 13, 2014
