What is the attraction with peterbilts

I already know I'm strongly partial to Peterbilts and Kenworth because they are American Manufactured and the companies that own them are American Companies!! Mack, Volvo, Freightliner, etc are all owned by foreign companies.
Something like that matters to me and I think it should matter to all of us U.S. drivers. (did I say I'm really really big into Unions and such stuff?)

Terry!

 

Note the bold and emphasized section.....

Have you ever opened up your dash.....Looked at the wire harnesses?

Note on the labels......."Hecho en México" will be on them.....


Plastic parts are manufactured in Malaysia.....
That Concert Class sound system....Made in China........


There is no such thing as "American Made" any longer......

 

i know its a matter of opinion and to each is own but how can u can think the t800 looks good it's looks like a freaking ant eater or a giant dirt devil vacuum...i will admit though they are stout trucks hard to kill em

 

T800B maybe.....
But there's nothing like a T800H:

 

thats what my company had 46,000 rears heavy duty everything rode like a tank like a said theyre tough ill give them that but its just looks like an over grown dust buster

 

While it is true that many parts are manufactured outside of the U.S. It is also true that more of it, and the major assembly work, IS done in the U.S. and Importantly, the parent company that owns Peterbilt and Kenworth are U.S. companies! While it is impossible to purchase a rig that is completely U.S. made, Pete's and Ken's come the closest to the ideal. That's got to account for something. I'll stick with a preference to Petebilts and Kenworths, for the reasons stated.

 

I just wish the clown who put my pete together would of put some more glue on the weather stripping. It was falling off at the second week I had the brand new truck. Also when it rains or I get a truck wash there is more water inside my truck then outside. What's up with that. Maybe Pete's were made with pride back in the day. Now they are put together with Elmers glue.

 

Hell my 07 379 is nice and quiet. I can hear my radio and talk on the phone just fine

 

According to my oil samples my old c model peek engine is just about broke in been running it for 12 years now,just had the front rear out this week to reseal it ,still looks like a new one

 

Yea, know what you mean! It SHOULD be that ANY and ALL U.S. built products are not just superior in quality, but can be relied and depended on to be of unreproachable and lasting quality. Heck if it is made in the U.S., it OUGHT to be the BEST!!!!
