    No gauges. RIP airbag gauge.

    Don’t know how much that option costs, but have to figure it pays for itself with less scaling.

    Yep. If I ever get one of those trucks I will scale every effing load. Even those 7k loads. Gotta make sure those axle weights are right, you know? I wonder what other options are missing that aren't so obvious. Also for myself, that missing top bunk sucks because I use it for storage.
     
    JOHNQPUBLIC and MIT Thank this.

    Idk maybe I’m not seeing it right but it doesn’t look like there are drawers. Just metal bars?

    The automatic 5th wheel release is replaced with the 5th wheel slide, no leather steering wheel, but still has the buttons. There isn’t the sxm logo on the radio, only the one hood mirror on the passenger side, no swing out table in the bunk, drawers replaced with cubbies.. just to name a few.

    Guess I got one of the last nice ones. I wonder what other changes are coming to the company that promised no changes?

    Yes I can skip scaling ALOT with that gauge. $12 per CAT scale weight is sure going to add up.

    That missing hood mirror is just stupid. Why take that visibility away? We need as much as we can get. To save a couple hundred dollars per truck? Seems pennywise and pound foolish.

    The only positive I see in those photos is an APU.
