    Older Western Star, or International 9900ix.
    Both great truck, built well, great ride.
    The 9900ix is a bargain compared to Pacar products that are living on old reputations and lowering quality.
    Also new Western Stars are not built like older ones. Freightliner is cheapening them out, which is too bad, they had been the highest quality trucks in this country for many years.

    A 2001 Sterling with a 400 Detroit cut to 350 governed at 62 with 1.4 million on it is the only way to go for me.

    Lol.. Never had the opportunity to drive a premium truck for more than a day. The W9's always catch my eye.
