no question here, just an observation. I'm not a driver yet, start school Dec. 22. one owner was picking up his brand new western star in auburn , wa. he met me walking across the dealer lot and asked if i need sales. i said no, i only wanted to check out the new stars. we talked for half an hour on the lot, he readily offered info. and advice. the other owner was at his friends place who i am going to rent an apt. from. this owner offered to sit down sometime and i could ask away, he even offered a ride along and some behind the wheel in a lot someplace! these guys gave there time to a stranger. just like ttr . thanks to all the good guys/gals out there.
You might want to try the ride a long before you attend school. Will give an idea of the life style, and a jump on the other students who could know nothing about a truck. You would be a little familiar with what the teacher was saying.
