    Buy a wreck, retitle the old truck as a new one.

    A seriously mangled wreck won't cost that much. You don't want the motor, tranny or anything but the title and the vin plate really.

    You guys don’t think we’re going to see serious EPA changes over the next few years? They’re aggressively targeting other industries already but somehow trucks will remain untouched?

    If they actually gave a #### about the environment they'd push this crap in developing countries. At least then there'd be a net benefit to the environment.

    It is being driven by the mega #### box fleets and ######### that are being brought into the industry. Talking to A KW sales manager and most new drivers are not using the gauges and find them a distraction. They want controls and dashes like their cars. Kw is not planning on screwing up the W900 yet. But the W990 is getting the new dash as part of the midlife update. Guess I will stick with my star cars or may have to buy a W900L with studio before Paccar ####s it up

    What exactly does the dash cluster have to do with the environmental impact of the truck? I know they're going to try forcing electric trucks at some point. I'm also 98% certain your average person thinking that's a good thing has no idea how much electricity that's going to take.

    Unfortunately the same dash will be heading to the W900’s...
