    That would be nice on the sink, Fridge are big enough for me so I cant complain on that one. They also offer another option on a mini fridge drawer in the passenger seat that can hold soda or meats. The sizes are the same as they have now just laid out a little better to me.

    I’m glad they’re proud.
    I used to think volvos were ugly.
    They made them worse.

    I like them but then again I like the Fuel MPG savings more than anything else. The new look is suppose to improve 10 percent in fuel economy. Hopefully if things go right I will have one next year sometime. Should see 9-10 MPG's pretty easy with the set up I will order.

    Definitely like the new Murphy bed setup. Fridge is still on the floor. Peterbilt and Western Star have had them up at eye level for years now, so that would be nice. It is frustrating for example a new Western Star 57x went from an 82" down to 72" sleeper. Yet it has 24 inches of cab extender!! The "dinette" seats look like third generation Trans Am rear seat size if that. Guy squeezed in there in the picture looked tiny. Don't mean to fuss so much but we live back there on the road. Try to stay at shippers or receivers and out of truck stops whenever possible so l am all about boondocking conviences. With the prices of these sleeper trucks now a days they should all do better.

    Fridges in a wide cab Pete are down low on the passenger side. It would be nice to have it up higher for sure.

    Those new side mirrors should be a lot less noisy (wind) than the old ones! Might actually be able to ride down the road with the window open and still hear yourself think.
