    Dude don't get hung up on a name brand. I make MORE with my International with a N14 than with the Pete cause it gets better fuel mileage. Nothing wrong with a 15k dollar truck.

    And you are right here, it's also very important if not the most important. But I always been slow driver even when fuel was a lot cheaper in '99.. I would drive max at 65. I know everybody passed me, who cares, I was 23 years old and that time and I knew I was making a brand new Mercedes payment a month for free just because I drove a little slower.. Right now I can make a house payment driving 61-62 for free at current fuel prices :) So fuel economy is very important, but I just got tired of these new Vovlo and Cascadia's... I had a chance to drive 2013 Cascadia and 2015 Volvo... And it was just a nightmare.. My old '95 FLD and then '00 FL CLassic drove like a caddys compare to these new plastic machines. Big windshields would make me crazy with so much sun in the summer and so much brightness during the winter coming through the windows.... Plastic rattling on every little bump, you have to steer to the left and to the right all the time just to keep it straight.. That was just bad... I just want old good tank, that were called trucks :). It was just my personal experience.. I never drove 379 or W900, but I drove T600 and T800 - the ride was awesome, smaller windows, you can sit in a shadow from all the sun, stable on the road.. It was just perfect for me.. I'm assuning all these 2000 tanks drive good.. Maybe I'm wrong, I just know as much as I experienced..
