A stock tractor in good shape is not bad at all. If you get a loud one, just by yourself some ear plugs. Once you get used to the noise inside the truck it will seem silent at home in bed. I had a truck tire blow up in my face back in 1989 so I have tinnitus in both ears so it is pretty loud any where I go.
What did he say? My 09 Freightliner is very quiet, even with the Jake.My first trucks were very loud.I don't think that they thought much about driver comfort back in the stone ages.
I know a couple...But I see no reason to drive a Lexus whan there's a perfectly good Corvette in the garage.
