    Heard a rumor at the dealership today that the W900 is soon to be replaced by the T990 (plastic aero cab)... Can anyone confirm that this??

    I kind of don’t believe that, but if that’s the case that’s disappointing to hear.

    That's pretty much where I'm at. Show me the pics. It was just a rumor that a sales guy was telling me. Didn't know if anyone else had heard anything of the like.

    I will say I worked at a dealership years ago in a sales role. Much of you know they have moonlighted the T660 the T800 is next. KW and Pete are phasing out the "B" cab all together. I'd say this is more than a rumor, but Paccar is slow to roll these things out it could be years before it's official.

    Looks like a CAD drawing, not a real truck. I don't see why they'd go with that and scrap the 900, unless it's purely for fuel economy reasons.

    That thing is so ugly it's fugly.
