    I haven't heard any of you talking about it.. I know it's been around for maybe couple years..


    Do you see any of these on the road OTR/Long Haul? How do they ride?



    Photo is from a google search...(http://autozoo.ru/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/lonestar-13.JPG) not my photo... Just a nice picture of the truck I am talking about...

    Not sure about anyone else, but I see them frequently in the Midwest where I operate. They do catch the eye, but I wouldn't buy one. Not that they are bad, just not interested in them.

    there are threads here about that "Thing" and the "MAJORITY"
    still cant figure out "What drivers" they consulted on the design concept

    They are well past ugly and the amount of plastic is at a all time high.
    Speaking acouple who drive them say they are real nice inside and laid out well over all.
    But all agree they will be "JUNK" before 500K

    well you all may call it ugly...but it beats the hell out of a prostar and the 9400i in my opinion. Yes sure all that "chrome" really isn't and yes there is a hell of alot of plastic but it reminds me of the front end of the old gangster style cars etc.....

    I'd still take a T-600,800 or W9 over it anyday....but it ain't that #### ugly

    I think it is just a Prostar with a gussied up nose and interior. Never drove a PS but I read they have lots of design shortcomings.

    I heard Caterpillar is coming out with their own truck line. I'd wait and see what theirs looks like if you want "unique".
