    Don't let all those gages and switches get you all nervous.. Some you will not even use hardly ever.. and others you will use everyday..
     
    Cybergal Thanks this.

    I've been driving tractors for more than 5 years and that dash pic got me nervous. A lot more than I am used to.

    Pretty standard Freightliner Century Class... The pictures are quite large if you click. Even when it brings up the window with the full-size, it'll resize that to fit your screen. Click on that, it'll get even larger.

    now that is the ones I am use to seeing. The first pic that someone else posted is an older freighliner I think you will not see too many of those out there. Mostly these in CMoore2004's post

    Actually that is not an old dash setup... Get into a Pete or a KW (some would say real trucks) and you will find even more gages and switches..

    Freightliner and Volvo have really plain and simple dashes... They lack the options Peterbilt and KW offer.. (well some of the more expensive Freightliners offer similar dashes such as the Coronado) The 2008 models have more streamlines dashes in the Peterbilt...
    But again that dash pic is not a old dashboard setup...

    You sure about that? The steering wheel looks to be sporting a Freightliner logo...
