    Perhaps the new T-680E (electric) is what they are counting on for “good times”.

    Still think the KW B cab trucks are the nicest trucks on the road. Just a shame they aren't built as tough as they used to be.

    There’s no way I’d give up my current truck for any that I’ve owned before.

    Ive owned a 389 and now a w900 and it's night and day difference. The w900 is superior on almost every way.

    If I buy another truck will probably go international HDX next time. Not happy with the assembly of my 389. Too many issues. I have never driven a truck with as many problems as my latest. Columbia, International 940, or older 379/89 all were better than the glow stick.
     
    Siinman and Opendeckin Thank this.

    Never gave it much thought when younger/healthier I had a T600 for several years because it's what I had and was used to but the driver seat area sure is cramped up especially the foot area. Im only 6' tall too but this is probably what has my lower back all screwed up now. Not sure how a 389 compares in that regard never driven one but KW cab, not so great imo from a comfort standpoint if you're 6' or taller.
     
    dirthaller, cke, Siinman and 1 other person Thank this.

    Just heard a rumour Paccar ended production of the T-800 a couple months ago. No longer a Paccar fan now.

    I'm 6 ft and I have no issues. The only problem we're the 389 has an advantage is you right leg room. The cup holder and cubby Holy below The dash in the W900 gets in the way from stretching that leg out lol

    Yeah thats what it was the cup holder cubby part there next to the right leg. To be fair I could stand to lose a good 35 or 40 lbs the past 10 years or so but I do find other trucks cabs more to my liking.

    Right behind you like I'm sure most of us drivers are being looked up in trucks for so long.

    That 990 has alot of interior room. Nice interior to but looks like a lot of plastic that will turn to a lot of rattling down the road

    Not sure if I could get in a 680. But the new ones are sleek looking to be honest

    Wouldn't touch a freightliner or Volvo or western star and or a mack
