Truck Pix... post yours

Welcome to ownership...

 

Here's another Where's Waldo,same boy.Look down the rubrail. He's helping me load new JCB backhoes out of Whitemarsh,Md. back in the 80's going to Vancouver,B.C.
Sorry I'm not computer savy enough to know how to enlarge these pics.

 

Lookin' Large!! New wagon?

 

Yep
Picked it up new from Utility in Indianapolis..
It pulls nice..

 

If you look close you can see all the spots The Beacon in Amarillo missed..

 

It only took 25 years, but I finally have my first actual new truck

 

That's a sharp looking rig there. Does it have the Cummins or Paccar engine? Does it have a manual or automatic? What is it governed at and how is it in the mountains pulling?

 

This has a similar set-up as my 2016 Haney Peterbilt, but very different parameters.

Both trucks have the Paccar MX13, but my old truck was much more of a hill-puller than this one: 505hp/2,100 ftlb vs 430 hp/1,800(?) ftlb. This truck also has a 12 sp transmission, the 2016 has a 13 sp, both are Eaton autoshifts.

Our entire division is governed at 60 mph on the go pedal, 62-63 on cruise control.

 

Sorry to hear you got a truck with less performance, which you need the torque to climb those mountains out west. I live 13 years out there in your neck of the woods in Bonney Lake.
