What's the best tractor?

Western Star 5700EX

 

dub 9

 

Red's alright but strawberry blonde can't be beat lol.

In all seriousness this question is like the age old Chevy vs. Ford vs. Dodge argument. Personally I'm partial to KW and WS. I would steer clear of the 13 letter manure spreaders. I've seen first hand how poor their craftsmanship is (I know a guy who had the firewall fall out of his) plus they are a complete PITA to service since a lot of them have half the engine under the cab.

 

My list
1. Truck runs
2. Cruise control works
3. Radio works
4. Air conditioner works
5. Can I make "big money" with it
6. Truck runs

 

The 9200i seen in my 'tar is mah baby. We get along just fine.

It's whatever you're partial to. I know some makes have less leg room for taller guys, I'm a Kenworth guy. But over the years working for different companies I've drove every make except western star. Mostly drove day cabs, wich I hate, even when doin local work I prefer a sleeper so I can slide my seat back. I'm 6-3 and I hate bangin my knees on the dash, right now I'm driving a freightliner and it's ok I do like the high roof design cuz I can stand all the way up w/o hitting my head.

 

No international for me although th international lonestar is a majestic looking truck. Freightliner or better. Better would be a kw(more power), mack(more power) or Pete(more power). I drive a Cascadia btw and it is solid!
