I'm 6'1 300lbs with long legs and was looking for pre-emmisions dump truck recommendations concerning driver comfort for someone my size !
I'd prefer a WS, Pete or KW but am open to other options too. Thanks for any and all advice!
Tri-axle dump truck recommendations?

Get what you like. Every day cab is tight unless you get a fat boy kit, which isn’t happening on a dump truck.

Everyone I know runs a fat boy kit on the Pete and KW dumps
ElmerFudpucker and OldeSkool Thank this. -
Well that would be the way to go then. I guess I’ve never noticed a fat boy kit on a dump truck.

If you're doing alot of construction site work/off road, Mack is tried & true built to last & durable.
Not the most comfortable or spacious but at the end of the day your getting pd.
Pete very spacious & comfortable but does not like rugged off road work & parts wont last.
Very good line of site in Pete due to cab size, Mack seems more blind spots & use your fender mirrors all the time.
Drove a KW for short period as my truck (Pete) down for repairs & didn't like it at all.
Drove Mack's for 10yrs went to a Pete for 2yrs now back in a Mack.
Longer the truck is the Pete's suspension sits lower so tags can get bound up, saying this because I drive a 7 axle dump straight truck so I know 1rst hand.
In our area I see some WS on the road but know nothing about them to offer any insite.OldeSkool Thanks this.
