    In order to complete the analogy, we need to find some Japanese trucks that out-class Petes in just about any category.

    I do the same thing teaching kids at B.R.A.K.E.S. , www.putonthebrakes.org.

    sdaniel, set up braking distances, I set up the distances for cars and trucks at 40, 55, 65 to let them see the difference.

    Quality is right sorry to bust y'all's bubbles that disagree. I've worked on freightliners and peterbilts and yes volvos have a nice ride but mechanically peterbilt beats them yes they look good but like a thread before said class pays

    We're still talking about the poor man's KW?

    We just got a Peterbilt CNG. I don't know what will keep it off the road more, being a Peterbilt or being a CNG truck.

    Hmmm... CNG, 400 mile range + 20-30 minutes to fuel = not for me.
