    I wanted a W9. I bought a century.

    I got all of the drive line I wanted. S60, 13spd, 3.42 rears., LP22.5. I cruise at 1375 at 65 mph and 1425 at 68.

    I even got my APU I wanted.

    I went with the Century because it was the price I wanted to pay for my first truck. I will save up and work for my W9 I want. That will be my reward for making this work.

    My 09 cascadia, with DD15, 10 spd OD, 3.42 rears was maybe a 6.25 mpg truck on a good day. The company claimed it was only a 5.8 mpg truck and had the records to back that up.

    I am really wanting a W9. But the one I could afford was $25K more than I wanted to spend right now. So I bought practical not emotional.

    I'd give my left *** for a W900 studio too. But now isn't the time.

    It may be a Century, but there's a lot of Pete's and KW with cats that thing will blow the doors off of even at 78K gross in the mountains.
