    i like the new kw 660 that has just come out.it looks good and it should get decent fuel milage w/ the areodynamic shape.plus its a kw.i think kw has the best full service shops in the country.

    I just got done renting a 2006 XL until my 2006 W900L got here. I was renting it from the company I'm leased to....... It was horrible!!! It was not light either. In fact it's almost 1000 lbs heavier than my better equipped W900L. It only had about 150,000 mi. on it but it drove like it had over a million on it. Get the t600.

    I dunno...with the Cat running 3.73 rears and the Cummins at 3.90, I'd say it's a toss-up.

    Do a GOOD hose down type leak test on the T600 , they were prone to water leaks for the sun roof and the bunk windows. Just bad rubber gaskets but some were real bad.

    The T600 will serve you better than the XL

    T6 all the way. Better fuel economy, better resale value, and better ride. Freightliner classics are wannabe petes.
