Thanks man. 2022 T680 with mid life aero update. X15 efficiency are 450hp at 1650 torque. Endurant 12 sp auto with 2.79 gears. 232 wheel base. Standard light package. Artic fox heated fuel tanks, winter grill that allows mounting of the cover in the front. Owner op gauge package, keyless entry, heated seats, double bunk, built in inverter/plugs, fridge, bunk heater, etc. Bridgestone 284 I believe is the model tire. Whatever the latest BS tires are. Red paint, not the bright but the little bit darker color. Aero wise the full 76 inch sleeper meant for vans/reefers. Digital dash and all that new stuff. Chrome side and front mirrors. Sliding 5th wheel of course, all aluminum Alcoa wheels, disc front brakes, drum rear.
I’ll update when I finally get them. Actually have two coming. I have nearly identical package in 2021, 2020, 2019, and similar in 2018 with manual. It’ll be interesting to see how they stack up!

Midwest Trucker, may I ask a few questions about your spec? Have you considered the LED headlights, disc breaks all around, smart torque for the X15? Why did you go with 232" wheelbase? It seems you went with the overdrive tranny. Is that right? What is your intended cruising speed and RPM with the 2.79 ratio? Have you considered more aggressive specs, like direct drive and tag axle?
I would appreciate for your inputs as you are more experienced than me. I really specced only one truck. My first one was a go lucky choice as totally new was to the industry. And now I planning the third and last. Although not in hurry, but want to be prepared just in case. And definitely pull the plug if Cummins introduce the new engine with the cylinder deactivation. I can not afford to be the guinea pig. -
