Your Truck

[Broompilot]

A nice post regarding Kenworth T-300s used by the Atlanta Falcons.

I would love to hear from everyone about your truck. I had an opporuntiy last night to sit in many different trucks International 4300 MB-2s etc..

Can you pleae list two positives about your truck and two things that you think are not so good.

Here is mine, Cab interior small, dash board guages poorly laid out for day time reading.

Positive One solid, well built, quite truck. Saftey features no other truck builder comes close to desiging into there trucks the ease and saftey that KW took the time to make their trucks driver friendly and driver saftey features standard.

As you know I have a T-300 and really, whats not to like? I really like the Cab Mounted Mirrors, also the 315 HP Cummins/Super 10 speed. I guess if I had to say something negative about my truck, it would be the size of my sleeper.
I'm in the middle of upgrading the sleeper with Creature Conforts, and a few other things also, before I go back into service. Will keep you posted of progress.
Happy Holidays....Butch
