    Yep. The 2.1m cab. Same as the 579, 567, 990, t680, t880.

    I don't hate it at all. Much roomier cab with better visibility. Keeps the 389 look for the most part.

    Give it a pair of stacks and it'd really pop.

    Also scrolling around Facebook paccar applied for trademark for the mx-14 name so could be getting a larger engine option from them as well

    Counter weights are usually about 25k for tandem drive and about 36k on tri-drive units if I remember right.

    Yeah it would look much better with stacks. I see a few W9s around here that don't have any stacks and it looks weird

    I think it looks terrible. If I was to buy a new truck today it would be a peterbilt 567, maybe a KW t880.

    I go down some sketchy roads and curb hop all the time I don’t know how these mega fleets get away with bumpers 3” off the ground doing flatbed work.

    That said I’m pretty sure I’m keeping my 379 until the day I retire. I can keep this thing going for so much less than new trucks and paper logs is great.
