    Wow that looks like a nice truck. Glad you got this one in finally. Did they give you an update on the second one? Can't wait to get my new truck. Ha Ha

    Alright, I can't help it. That dash is hideous. So is the bumper, and the black on her skirts.

    Rookie mirrors? Okay since your not driving it understandable.

    Not sure about the fenders, but they're not awful.

    I do like what they did with the hood vents though.

    Hope it makes you lots of $$$.

    When I read that freightliner had bought western star , I knew they would kill off the brand .

    I’m not sure why they even bought it .
    WS had 1% of the market . Certainly no threat to Daimler freightliner who has 50% of the market

    I’m thinking real hard about just keeping my current truck and flipping the new one when it comes in. Friend of mine had a new one come in and it was delivered to his shop on Monday. He listed it for sale before it was at his shop, he had the money in his account Tuesday, and the guy showed up yesterday to drive it home. Paid $181 for it and sold it for $225.

    The salesman is still saying mine will be here before the end of the year, it’s just waiting on an ECU for the ABS.

    What did he get in that he sold for that price? I sometimes think about the same thing but I really want a new truck bad since mine is really too small for me.
