[QUOTE="starmac, post: 9053444, member: 249333"]I have an international and 2 kw's, When I stayed on the road and stayed in a truck, I drove the binder, I cant imagine any W9 or T800 having as much room. When it comes to your legs hurting, there is more to it than room. A seat good seat is very important to me, I am talking VERY, and just because it is a high dollar brand, doesn't mean it is worththy of riding on the dromdeck. Another important deal for your legs, is the way the pedals are and the angle your foot sits on the throttle pedal, which is different between brands. I have driven everything from old cabovers and b model macks to most newer trucks on the road, and was born with a bad back, I have found these two things the most important, when they aren't good, my legs have gotten so painful that I have literally had to shut down because of it and I have a high tolerance for pain. Somebody mentioned liking a sunroof in them. My W9 has one and for the life of me, I will never figure out why anybody would want one in a truck, Now the company that built the sunroofs, no longer dows, NOBODY makes a replacement, Kenworths solution if yours breaks, is to put a new roof cap on it. lol[/QUOTE]
