Peterbilt, Freightliner, or Kenworth?? Truckers Help me.?

Question

OK. I am about to purchase a new truck and i dont know which one i should get. My options are The 2007 Freightliner Century Class, The 2007 Kenworth T600, Or the Peterbilt 387. All of them have 475 Kitty Cats in them and are all 13 speed. I like the peety cause it looks nicer than the other ones. Which ones should i Choose. Whats your opinion?

Answer 1

There are less Used Peterbilt Trucks for sale than Freightliners or KW's. That say's that Truckers hang on to the Pete's meaning they are better trucks. Go Peterbilt.

Answer 2

Personally I like the Pete, its a nicer looking truck. If it has a sleeper there is lots of room. My husband drives one long haul and he likes it much better then an Eagle or Western Star.
He says it drives well in the winter and like I said he just likes it. I really dont know much about the Ken or the Freightliner...sorry.

P.S isnt a Pete a truck for a man?

Answer 3

if you order the pete makesure you order the upgraded insultation package,they are noisy and cold without it,if you want quiet and smooth ride look at a volvo,freightliner has the largest available bunk at 84 inches on 244 wheel base
have fun and good luck

Answer 4

Depends on what you are using it for and what you preference is for an engine, I have 3 Western stars 4900SA, double framed and Tri Drives, 80,000 lbs winches on the rears, we do a lot of oilpatch work and probably driven as much off road as on. I like the western star it has a large cab and if you have room the stratosphere sleeper is huge.

Answer 5

PACCAR builds both the Peterbuilt and Kenworth. Since you can customize either one with dozens of options, they are virtually the same. It comes down to personal preferences.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Answer 8
