Regarding aero vs long nose, I owned a 2014 389, now own a 2016 579; what is save in fuel, depending on fuel cost and miles ran, covers half to almost the full monthly payment, just in fuel savings, plus the 579 is lighter and because I run bulk I am able to realize increased revenue every load. Yes, it's a tighter engine compartment but overall I still come out ahead with the aero truck.

Detriots have earned their place in my heart, just need big horse to make the grade uphill at speed limit. -
It's all the same tbh. Paccar are much easier to work on than say Daimler or Volvo, so definitely consider that if you plan to do your own maintenance. Volvo especially is a pain in the ###.
