    I was wondering if anyone sees Ford Aeromax trucks on the road anymore? This is the truck I drove and most and I really enjoyed it back in the day. I know most people don't want older trucks, but it was a good reliable hauler.

    Hi Hamburger71, I agree, the Aeromax was indeed a good truck. I drove many Louisville Fords, and an LTL9000, and made money with them. They were dependable, easy to drive, and with some of the trucks offered today, you'd think more people would go with them,if they're still around.

    There is a member on here, a young lady from florida, she still has one.

    Maybe she'll chime in.

    there is a guy a few miles form me that has one. Since I'm a Ford guy I always wanted one but even when Ford still made them there wasn't much of a dealer support in my area, the closest Ford heavy truck dealer was 120miles away.

    I drove a LTL9000 for a couple of years in Alaska. I still see an occasional Aeromax running around. Most often it is a container puller out of the rail yards around Chicago.

    This is my Aeromax AT9522. Ford had it together when they built these trucks.

    I was told trucks over five years old are frowned upon. Otherwise I'd drive another one in a heartbeat.

    Hi Ham, for a long time, that was true, however, I've seen more and more, in an attempt to recruit more O/O's, they are opening it up to, the truck must pass an inspection, regardless of age. So I say, go for it, I know, if I bought another truck(when pigs fly) it would be another 359 Peterbilt. Nothing newer:smt023
