I see more red trucks on the shoulder than blue ones.. I’d go with the blue one..
On a serious note: When I went on the hunt for a truck my first “must have” was a 13spd. My second must have was 500hp minimum and geared to cruise at 70mph without working too hard.
After a couple months of searching through the limited supply of what I wanted, I ended up buying the first truck I turned my nose up too.2 months later. Turned out it had everything I wanted and an 18 spd for a pleasant bonus.
I never even looked at it’s specs to see if it had what I wanted.. It was orange (not Schneider orange) and I walked right on past it.
Which trans?

I have owned a few 10s and have a 13 and 18 speed now I would still buy a 10 speed if best equippedConcorde Thanks this.

I just hated the 10 because of 6th gear position.. with the 13 and 18 it’s a simple 4spd pattern. I also find the 13&18’s much more relaxing in rush hour traffic.. Climbing hills which I do a lot of is much nicer also.

I think that a 10 is more relaxing in traffic with less shifting but if extremely heavy its nice having more gears theres a lot of times I'm well over 90k that's the only time I think that you need a 13 or 18 and I miss my old super 10 for legal loads

I don't miss the 2 super 10s I drove.
starmac Thanks this.
