    Had ordered 3 but KW could not deliver on time last fall , KW dealer is after me again to place an order for 4 ( he has 2015 models on the lot ) as its time to replace some T600's, few people I know with them seem happy

    They still need to work some bugs out. A couple of ours lost wheel seals... without even having racked up 10k yet, there's no shortage of electrical issues, the cabs seem to be prone to leaking... our drivers have a mixed opinion of them, the mechanics just plain don't like them.

    I'm not an owner operator, but I love my 680. Except the automatic transmission, but even that you can use manual. I have just put on 30,000 miles no problems so far. Rides like a cadilac. Gets pretty good fuel mileage as well. @65mph I can get 7.5 pretty easy. 60mph 8. Wind and cold weather has kicked my butt lately so about 7.
