    I’m really starting to like these trucks the more I see them.

    Of all the things I miss that I don't have anymore I miss my hearing the worse. Huh and what seem to be words I use the most.

    It’s not a bad design IMHO. It’s just that just because multi-shot is possible, doesn’t mean it’s required.

    I can say I only have 6200 miles on mine but it’s quite and squeak free. The company my buddy works for that i used to is transitioning from T800’s to T880’s and the overwhelming driver opinion is they like the T800 better. There’s a minor coup rising over it.

    I have just over 26,000 on my 2019 579 and it has rattled from day one. I didn’t think it was possible for a truck not to rattle

    Oh yeah...:eek:

    They have a sound of what seems like a cross between a rod knock and an exhaust leak somewhere in the 1350 rpm neighborhood.

    I heard that’s only limited to the efficiency series though.

    Mines noisy to, not obnoxious and Witt the windows up it’s whisper quit but it just doesn’t sound like any truck I’ve ever driven. It does absolutely sound like an exhaust leak.
