    As ol’hand said.
    There hasn’t been a decent truck built in nearly 20 years.
    The last good freightshaker was the FLD.

    You will regret it. We have the same KW’s. They are junk and stay in the shop.
    I’m currently driving one of the last 2016 Mack Pinnacle’s they have and praying I stay in it for a long time. It’s bulletproof.

    The 389 turns much better than 379 did . I drove a 265 wb 379 ,then got in the 389 with 280 wb . I can put the 389 in tighter places.

    I think there's a double meaning of the word "tractor" here. They are comparing Pete, FL, and Kubota?:dontknow:

    Oem parts probably. Hopefully.

    People seem to be having a hard time fixing their cars with aftermarket.

    My last job couldn't make any replacement part last worth a DA**
