Simple facts are easy, petes have slightly better driver ergonomics in the seat and junk for sleepers. Kenworths (non studio, lets compare apples to apples) have pretty much the same situation. A W900 with a STANDARD sleeper cannot be compared to the STANDARD condo in a classic. Anyone who says otherwise is wearing blinders. As far as the whole pecker situation, my truck doesn't determine the size of my pecker, it determines the size of my wallet, and, fact of the matter is, I can guarantee over the life of the truck mine will make as much if not more than your more expensive KW or Pete. 847,598k on the truck and the only rattle is my door lock on the drivers side. Yeah, the columbias and century class trucks are junk in my opinion. the Classic XL Long Wheelbase is a fantastic riding truck for what it is Leafs up front and 4 bags in the back. Yeah, a KW or Pete with 8 bags will ride better obviously. Line up a 4 bag XL and a 4 bag pete and a 4 bag w900 and gee, bet they all ride essentially the same. Like I said, it's nothing but ego. And all the pics of the old KW's and Petes. Nice trucks, but hey, jump in one and live in it for a month or so. Yeah, they ooze class but there's a reason they don't make'em like that anymore. They're uncomfortable, drafty, and inefficient. Yeah, I know. Started driving dads 82 KW. I like Ford you prolly like Chevy. We can do this all day. And now I'm back quiet, I'll leave this one alone, like I said. Can't argue with ego.

Kaonix there is very very little interior difference from a FLD 120 to a FL Classic, especially in the sleepers. Any of the ones I was in from the seats back you cannot tell its a classic.
Compare it to a KW its still just a sleeper. I think you need to get out and tour more trucks.
Nice try tho. -
Look at your mirror and read what it says:OBJECT MAY APPEAR LARGER THAN THEY REALLY ARE,HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.....

Dave66,
Freightliners may make people money but a KW is going to hold more value, get the same fuel economy, and is more comfortable. The T6 Bronc has could probably beat a Frieghtliner in terms of value and economy if its spec'd right. 550, could you shed some light on this?
Brick, I would kill to have W9 like the smokey and the bandit one. Any idea what her spec's were?

Movie specs or real life specs?
In the movie I'm sure it had 2000 HP and got 20 MPG.
