    With the chiseled lines of the hood I wish they would have integrated that into the sleeper.

    Looks like the cab and sleeper are the same as my 4900.

    It never seems to fail when you get something new that you hit something. I managed to scuff my hood on the first trip out on a bollard. Just swapped some paint. At least I did not hook the chrome bumper and bent it. I think my pride was hurt more then the hood.

    with all the aerodynamic features of the new truck why would that flat bumper be on it.
    is it an option or photoshop?

    ok just was wondering why a company would spend so much money advertising their new aerodynamic truck and then put a bumper like that on it lol

    I have been waiting for real o/o reviews of this truck but have not seen many talk about it anywhere

    The thread title says its wrecked. Who knows what scrap heap that bumper came out of to get it legal. Why would I photoshop it?

    The cab and sleeper are the same as my 2000. It has a new hood and some fairings and all of the state of the art crappy emissions you'll find on any Daimler truck.

    The angle of the picture makes that sleeper look huge to me...
