    I have leased a KW t660 a few months ago--I am wondering if there is any way to trade it in on something else once you leased or are you pretty much stuck with it until lease is over.

    I have had tons of problems with mine..Lots of which came from factory..Mine is 2013 and we continue to have a ton of problems with it. I didnt know if they would allow you to trade it back on something else or are we stuck with this crappy truck? LOL

    I am waiting for the day that my motor falls out! LOL

    you might have a lemon law issue.

    but in all honesty. ALL brand new trucks are lemons. your pretty much stuck with it.

    next time lease a 2 year old truck. it'll have all the bugs worked out.

    Ya thats what i thought---it was worth a shot though LOL--This truck has been horrible since we go it..

    First-they didnt tighten up the bolts on one fuel tank-it shifted.

    Next-Loose bolts on leaf springs--axle shifted caused me to need an alignment.

    Next-air line on drivers seat faulted --ez fix but still a pita.

    Im just wondering what is gonna be next. LOL (shoulda found me a volvo instead--)

    That is not really a lot to go wrong with a new truck. I have seen much, much worse.

    Ya i suppose your right but still dont expect it from new truck--Didnt anticipate spending 1k on an issue that was the fault of some idiot that didnt tighten up bolts..

    You're joking right. I thought maybe the transmission had fallen out! Those are chicken poop things and not even worth complaining about.

    Again, what does your lease say about exchanging vehicles?

    I am not sure if they have anything on it in the lease--i will double check and see if it says anything on that. Im sure I am prolly just stuck with it for now.
