Thanks for the replies ... still debating. I was in a Mack yesterday and liked it (2014 CHU613). Nice ride, the MP8 did quite well, and the...
For this question, yes. I know where to go for solid trucks ... they just aren't aero trucks. I am hoping to learn what aero trucks hold together...
What years are good for solid Volvos?
Are the T660s or T680s similarly solid in design/construction?
You know, a lot of guys are saying positive things about late model FL truck quality; FL may be trying to improve driver opinion? The 'ride' is...

Taildragon, Thanks! I will focus on that. The foot wear on the pedal from other drivers seems to be as you suggest. With the hanging brake pedals,...

Does anyone have advice for gaining greater control with the floor mounted brake pedals? I am used to, and good with, fire-wall mounted brake...
Plumcrazy, Thank you. I won't be financing a truck if I can help it. And I won't be spending a lot either, at least not in price, maybe in...
