    Scary to give advice on this. When I was OTR I drove Freight liner Cascadia, Volvo 64VNL, and Pete 379.
    Nicest was the Pete 3306 Cat, Volvo was a DD15L (think) Detroit anyway), and Pete 387again with the Cat,
    all 13 speeds. Don't remember what the Cascadia had for engine, it was brand new and I drove it till they got all the bugs out of it and then they took it away from me.
    Anywhoo when I bought my own its a VNL640 with an black top N14 and a 10 speed.
    Of course the Pete was the nicest to drive, kinda prestigious. But overall, I prefer the Volvo. 10 speed is fine,
    don't know the top end but have had it up to 85 mph. Rated at 270 hp I think.I pull a 42 foot Timpte.

    Pay your money and take Your choice.

      24.5's float much better than 22.5' in soft conditions, but does effect the final gear ratio.

          We have two Kw Day cab 13 sp and one Pete that was our first all have theBig Cat. I like my KW Day cabs and the next one we are looking at is a 2013 or newer KW ext cab 13 sp with Cummins and 4-way lockers.

          Little more money if they have under a mill mileage yes you have basic repairs but run good and dont fall apart. THe pete we keep for sentimental value. Once its paid for you have a lot of uses for them. Had a Mac and LT9000 that we converted to grain trucks just use at seed plant and spring.

            that's something I forgot to mention, now that you mention cat . we have a Detroit and two cats . the old 3406 in the one is good on fuel , but the C15 in the one uses twice as much fuel as the Detroit . I don't think I would get another cat because of this , excellent motor though, and lots of power .

              Been hard to find something “decent” that’s not miled out. Going to the RB sale in Edmonton, there is three Kenworth 800s there with very low kms. Yes, may have to pay to get them but these miled our ones are wore out and dealers still want a ridiculous amount for them. Guy can sink 25k into a 60k truck pretty fast, and it’s still worth 60.
