What Is YOUR Favorite Truck!?

I have simply fallen in love with the Peterbilt 389 model. It is simply a classic , timeless design. I don't know anything about the current engine line in these trucks or the old, for that matter , but man , they sure are sexy.

What is you favorite truck and why?

While I doubt this is a fleet version, pretty awesome 13 speed sleeper... T680

What engines are they using?

I am happy with the Cummins ISX 450 ST in my ProStar .... Although I have nothing to compare it to... It gets me up hills with 80k lbs...

Western Star... With a 3406E or C15..... Enough room to live comfortably, tough as nails and enough umph to pass other trucks going up hill while wide, tall and over 100k gross. Did this last summer pulling a 80k piece of an asphalt batch plant.

I have seen quite a few Western Star's so far... I didn't know much about them. Good to hear they are strong trucks...

Volvo 780 with workstation setup. About as close to having an RV-Style sleeper as it gets. Best setup on the road. The new I-Shift transmission are the smoothest out there. Downside of Volvo is their PARTS NETWORK - though they have been improving on that area.

KW T680 with workstation setup. Smaller sleeper by a few inches. Second best setup on the road.

I'm looking at "full-timing" - so my consideration is a sleeper that I'm going to be spending near 100% of my time in.

I haven't heard good things about the Volvo power plants. How about you?

I love my Volvo....have a D13 engine, it works great. We had some problems with the automatic transmissions last year, but Volvo came in and did fleet wide modifications and we haven't had issues since. You couldn't pry my truck out of my cold dead fingers.

Volvo twin-screw day cab , with an Eaton-Fuller 10. Smooth drive, quiet on the inside, great engine brakes. Sweet as can be. I really dig the days I get assigned to one of those.
