    I like the exterior of the Star.. besides the wooden cabinets the interior is a big let down.

    Just look at the dash, how much thought/design went into this?
    Looks like they forgot an air vent too lol.

    And companies are now putting their elogs blocking one of the driver vents leaving only one small one in the corner!

    #air vent lives matter!

    Also if you noticed theres NO FREAKING RADIO CONTROLS ON THE DASH!!!

    Western star decided it was a bright idea to put that pointless thing up near the roof next to the cb radio :biggrin_25513:

    The most retarded interior of all time.
    Do they drug test the truck designers? Apparently not.

    I'm enjoying the Volvo. Best newfound feature? Walmart bags fit perfectly in the removable trash bin. IMG_8165.jpg

    Are the engine brakes any better on them these days? Started out with a 730 and loved it, except the engine brake had no holding power.
