    I got to go look into a bunch of trucks this morning.

    Space, the pete 387/KWT2000 are the top of that category. The ones I looked at didn't seem to have a good layout though. Cabs were WIDE. IMO, too wide. Can't reach the passenger seat and I like to toss my map onto it along with other things during the day.

    Volvo's are a close second to these in that aspect.

    The T600 Studio sleeper, that one was laid out nicely.

    The T600, Pete cabs and even the freightliners if they are not the big aero cabs all can get "cramped" over time. Felt that today looking at a 386 as well as the T600. Remember my days in the Pete 377, KW T600 and T800 and they all felt that way in the cab.

    Still don't like the step up in the T600 cab. love the flat floors in the aero cabs though.


    Of all the trucks. I actually am beginning to really like this Cascadia I am driving. Just like how it's laid out and the space it provides.

    This is a good topic because I really didn't care too much about this before I started driving as I thought they were all similar with newer trucks. My truck doesn't have the tinted windows in the back or the condo high roof with the skylight. A truck at my trucking school had this and it actually felt like a bedroom back there. I can live but I think it would be a more enjoyable experience having that extra space.

    I would agree with you. The cascadia I have now has windows and I love it. Gives you a more "open" feel and not a box to hide in.

    I had a Volvo condo from Penske for a day last week. I couldn't believe the room in that thing! I don't care for the styling, but I could get used to it....
