    It looks something that got #### off a cliff and hit an ugly tree at the bottom.

    I bet that truck would look totally sexy as a heavy spec daycab on tall 24.5 rubber.

    Yep. They didn’t do a focus group on that grill and headlights. It’s beyond terrible. The bottom of the front fenders are squared off like a Western Star, the square grill looks strange too.

    If social media would’ve been around I’m sure all the same things were said when KW came out with the B model and didn’t have a long hood. Or when Peterbilt went away from the little window cab. Or when the 379 came out. Or when the T600 came out. Things change, and they will change whether we like it or not.
     
    bigguns, larry2903, Oxbow and 2 others Thank this.

    Depending on the angle of a particular picture, it can look "ehh" or just flat out "goofy".

    There's not much difference in the 359 and 379 other than the short 379 has a seriously sloped hood. There is no comparison to what that thing is and a w9.
