    If it's a Studio Sleeper then most defiantly .

    If it's a regular cab you will be totally cramped .

    I couldn't imagine teaming in a KW T660....just simply no room, I don't care how big the sleeper is. Not a bad solo truck...but team, no way.
    They finally made the arm rests so they can fold back behind the seat so you can now atleast shimmy into the sleeper rather than climb the seats.

    Give me a truck that I can do jumping jacks in like a Freightliner Cascadia or Classic XL.

    I really like KW's and Petes for a lot of reasons financial and mechanical, but definitely have to agree I just don't care for the bunk designs in the Paccar lines for the most part and can't imagine living with someone in one. If you could JUST put the interior design engineers at Daimler Chrysler together with the mechanical engineers at Paccar and the style engineers at International (Lonestar) . . . man oh man what a truck they could put together!

    Not only space, but a comfortable riding truck. Nothing comes close to a Volvo 780 as far as a smooth riding truck. You have to remember you or your co driver will be sleeping and the worst sleep that you will get is riding I 20 from Jackson, MS and Shreveport, LA;Terrell, TX to Dallas, and any interstate in Louisiana( except I -12). I 40 through Ark. and Okla. And any interstate in NJ and CA

    Clearly you have not seen their top O/O lines on the niceties. But maybe you have and to each their own on taste.
