    Can anyone tell me what the difference is if any between the T-700 and the T-680? To me by looking at pics there is not much difference in the outside, maybe on the inside? Anyone know?

    The biggest difference is the design inside. The T700 were designed for more of a team operation, and the T680 is designed more for a solo driver.

    the t 700 is the old t 2000 remade. they quit making the t2 because of so many body issues of the sides coming unglued. so the retaged it a t 700 and trying again. the t 600 is the updated verison of the t 600 lower nose the the t 6 the motor seats lower on the 680

    The company may have some in soon, I'm wanting to check them out. As long as they are light enough for us to scale 49K still I'll be interested in them. The T2 required so many trip to the scales, and nothing over 48,500 was really workable without extra miles.

    Is the T-680 equipped with a double bunk or is that an option.

    The T680 similar from outside, but a totally different truck. Yes, it can have double bunk. and an awsome truck. Mine will be on the road in the next month. :biggrin_255:

    The T680 is not really a heavy truck, but I do not think it can take more than 45,000 in a regular van. I guess reefer is even heavier. 48,500 I think can be fit for a daycab.
