t800 was my first choice, but it carries a 30k premium, so do the other kenworths. Aero petes are better in price, but not as good as the cascadia, and honestlt I am afraid of sticker shock. Since this isnt the big hp truck i want, I dont care as much.
id go international but 2 things. 1. how they fucked everyone on dealing with the maxxforcd deal. 2. I hear the cummins in them dont pull as we, and the ones Ive seen are 400hp vs 450.
i am open though. the 8600 was OK as a truck (no high expectations), and we have three 4300/4400 trucks now. Dash aint falling apart like on an old Ram though, doors arent sagging, no rust... lot of happy guys driving lt625 online
