    That looks like a 660

    All I gotta do is get this truck to Iowa. Then it’s a rental car home.
    All my stuff is in this truck.
    Forget this. I don’t even have room to turn around. Cat and I keep getting in each other’s way. Heck... I keep getting in my own way.
    Maybe if the sleeper were doubled in size? Might work?
    Otherwise, the driving itself is interesting. More of a; I Izza hidin’ in here peering out environment, with its short windows. It’s more of a “aim the truck” rather than drive it.
    I’d love to get a loaded trailer on this. I suspect it will handle nicely.

    I think the 680s are substantially roomier.

    I hope so.
    This truck makes a bathroom stall feel big.

    It's hard to go back to another kind of sleeper as well once you've had a double bunk or a condo.

    I prefer a smaller cab where you can reach everything paired with a big sleeper. In my highly esteemed opinion I dislike the cascadias seat position way off to the left, feels like a boat instead of a truck.

    Does the driver's seat have a hole in it for maximum driving time?
     
    Bakerman and WesternPlains Thank this.
