I was at the used Volvo place near my home and been driving Crapcadias for years and never been inside a Volvo before. I didn't drive it since I am not ready to buy, I only wanted to see how I would like them. Viewing pics online the 780 looks like a condo and the 670 looks like an SUV. To my surprise, the 670 has some good size and I will go with it. The 670 looks smaller in pics since they only take a pic of the bottom part of bunk. I've never seen that the upper cabinets are larger on the top.
The 780 has larger cabinets and all but it wasn't freaking hugeeeee monster like the pics make it out to be. So I am happy that I am OK with the smaller 670. I may even find out where to change out the insides once I pay it off. I would replace the top bunk with cabinets. I also never noticed how large the Volvo mirrors are man I could see the whole world behind me.
I checked out the inside of the Volvo 670 and 780 for the first time

I never judge anything by whats on the inside. It is the size of her highlights that attracts me.

I don't think there are any differences from the seats forward.
The only reason my boss finally downsized to the 670, much to our dismay, was because they weigh 2000 lbs lighter.
These comparisons may be different depending on how the trucks themselves are spec'd but those were the differences in the Volvo 780's and 670's that my boss had.Dominick253, Dave_in_AZ, rachi and 1 other person Thank this. -
Yes the mirrors are big, they will block a small car from view when at a cross street. Be patient and look on both sides of mirror.

I hate the dash in a volvo but they turn better than any other class 8 truck imo

one thing you will find if you LOOK is the cabinets between the seats and the bed are not the same size, the sleeper is about 6"wider and about 8" longer = a lot more room inside (storage) plus because the sleeper is longer it has a lower window not the little pup open vents
in the 780 you can fit a dorm size up to 4.5 cu.ft. INSIDE the lower cabinet just need to pop the doors off -

2,000 pound difference ...I find that hard to believe
