Real talk though this was beautiful. An American plant just showing you their day. Back when we all had hours to work and no one was scared to be near each other. God bless all my fellow blue collar workers just clocking in to make that living. It’s not glamour, but it’s pure pride.

North American trucks can be built to any spec the customer wants. 600 horses, 2050 trq ,18 spd, 69,000 lb tridrive axles, 20,000lb steer axles. Thats for highway service. Off highway, the skys the limit.

@@lucasw2880 WHY. T680 is straight garbage. Buy a fucking Cascadia

[@Deleteguest]

@@elpusegato as someone who is in a lease with 2019 T680 with the shitty paccar, privately contracting to do a local route for a customer, and having my truck break down. They let me use their 2020 Cascadia. I can tell you right now that it just straight up pissed me off. Literally EVERY SINGLE ASPECT of that Cascadia was INFINITELY better than the t680. The only thing I liked better about the T680 compared to the cascadia was the fucking badge on the steering wheel. LMAO. Everything from engine noise, to exhaust brake noise, to suspension comfort, to power, to acceleration, to the transmission and the programming, it skips gears to accelerate more efficiently, as opposed to my t680 which will start out in 2-4th gear, and go through every single gear to get to 12 bobtailing. To the fact that the cascadia steering wheel actually has finger grooves in it, as opposed to my T680 that only has 127k on it and the steering wheel is basically a fucking PVC pipe at this point. If it's not humid and sticky outside, the only grip you have on the steering wheel is the amount of pressure you're squeezing the steering wheel with. Fact of the matter is, freightliner throws all of their money into R&D for their cascadias, but for Kenworth, shorthood trucks are a complete after thought for them and MAN... driving both of those trucks back to back REALLY showed that fact.
