Freightliner vs Kenworth

Those freightliner suspensions ride smooth but they don't have the traction of the PACCAR suspension , I've never driven a truck with the traction of my W9 with the Pete suspension, I think it's the Pete flex air , on kw it's the ag380 or ag400 , that works like ladder bars on an old street drag racer , you get great traction in all kinds of conditions

 

But AG100, 200 and 400 would look really fruity on a single drive.

 

Ah the memories. I forgot why I loved that pete I had for a short time. We were able to get into some places (And out of...) some that were probably would have gotten that new Century stuck good.

What's silly to me and a personal button so to speak as a trucker that totally enrages me is that trucks spin one wheel on glaze thin surface of light frost trying to back a trailer into a freaking tiny slope on the pavement. Once one wheel spun, the rest of them dont accept power worth a ####. Should you do apply it redlining that poor thing, all of them spin.

*Drop kicks pos tractor to the curb... lol.

 

I E

I Echo your words they are massed produced for mega carriers

 

Hood with 6 mpg and fenders flapping in the wind?
Puny doors and windows?
Dinosaur?
Not impressed...

 

You would rather hold your bumper together with zip ties, bungies, and duct tape?

 

Driven crapcadias and hated them.

Driven Columbia and like them. Rattling pos but the shop tuned them up a little and they just scream. One does 90+ fully loaded it would do more but it runs out of gears.

The other is a straight truck I use once in a while. The little ugly race car. Lol.

 

Tell us how you really feel!

 

If you weren't so ###### fat you wouldn't need big doors

 

That's so unfair. Have you ever been in a Freightliner that didn't leak?
