    Pete W9?

    Must be a new model.

    I think you mean Kenworth W900

    Anything to back this up? If true, I have no problem spending 150k for 10 mpg, payment will be the fuel savings!

    9200 or 9400. Parts are everywhere, they ride like junk but they get the job done.

    Looks like Pete and ken worth won the race..I notice nobody said anything bout freight liner..what do you guys think of the freight liner?
    I love the look on the Volvo but it's seems it can't fall in the same category as Pete and ken worth..I also heard the volvos give a lot of sensor problems how true is that one damage sensor can leave you on the side of the road stranded

    The driver may be exaggerating but i'll tell you one thing that truck is gonna get pretty dam close to ten than anything else pretty much they are very efficient as is the new t680
    Ive been driving 4 years all ive driven is freightliners i love them they are workhorses in my opinion but i wouldn't necessarily want to own one I'm picking up a kenworth next week i picked it over the freightliner cascadia because i feel the quality of the KW is better the freights and since its my money i want a high quality truck they only thing that saddens me is that i cant get a detroit in the KW

    Yeah, they rattle off...


    But seriously, the 9400 isn't terrible. Not in the same league as WS/Pete/KW, but as far as economical freight-haulers go, it gets the job done...
