I'm starting to think that Anthony needs to get a truck that is actually designed to do what he wants to do with it. It's getting obvious that a F250/F350 isn't that truck.

Really? I always thought the word "ain't" didn't really exist. I always assumed it to be American slang, similar to how some like to spell the word night, N-I-T-E or right, R-I-T-E and so on.

Thanks for clarifying that point.

Not likely to happen, unless a class 8 style truck with a 6.0L diesel were to exist. Well, there is the Navistar 4200 truck available with various HP/TQ ratings of the VT365 engine available, to be coupled with a variety of Fuller manual transmissions as desired, since Anthony prefers a stick shift.

I'm sure that it is. The "powers that be" add "X" number of words into the dictionary every year, but I don't know what criteria they use to determine what goes in there.

Maximum comfort, better fuel mileage, safer, and unless you are trying to run under the radar, will turn a profit.

I've hauled for a while guys,,, and I had an 03 int 4300 with the dt466 for a while. Trust me,, the truck I have is the most profitable. 6 speed, single wheel, 4wd(although the 4wd isn't always beneficial, but when I need it,, it's priceless).

Here is my old truck

Here's a pic of it at work

I did campers for a quick sec with it,, but the empty mileage was a deal breaker.

CAT no longer manufactures diesel engines for on-road use vehicles anymore last time I checked. I also thought Freightliners use Cummins engines on all their medium duty class trucks. Okay, maybe Mercedes engines in a handful of them. Then again, I don't know much about trucks.
