    I have not driven any trucks yet just starting school soon but out of all the ones i have seen and looked at i like the w900 as well. After my kids get older and i switch to Otr i want to own my own truck and i already picked the design out :) here is a pic of one. is this a certain model or is this a custom thing? [​IMG]

    T6/T8 KW. Like the handling and the visibility, the quality of fit and finish. Second choice would be a Century/Columbia for same reason, save the fit and finish.

    But I'll drive what ever I'm given.:yes2557:
    I've had two 379's, they were alright, but I really can't see the mystique.

    a custom thing...

    better have BIG BUCKS too......and NO LIFE, because one WILL BE ON THE ROAD for decades before getting home.....

    and my favorite truck is a company truck, plain-jane looking........i have no need or use for all that glitters.

    If it hauls a trailer from point A to point B and doesn't get me put out of service at weigh stations, I'm happy with it.

    I think "long nose" Peterbilts are the best looking truck. I would like a Volvo or Kenworth W900 after that, again based soley on looks. I don't know enough about any brand to have an opinion based on anything else. I only drove Freightliners in school.....they pulled an empty trailer fine.

    For me hands down it's a Peterbilt. I love the long nose, narrow cab, long low look. My favorite truck ever is the 1987 numbered 359 Classic's.

    Who doesn't love a great looking old truck?!?

    For me it would depend on a lot of variables. Personally, I prefer the Volvo or Frieghtliner brand of trucks. I did drive a 379 and thought it was overrated. Just my .02 opinion.
