Examine the top five trucks on the market today:
The International Prostar+
The Freightliner Cascadia Evolution
The Kenworth T700
The Peterbilt 587
The Volvo VNL770
Although these trucks are produced by five distinct manufacturers, all have sleepers in the 70-inch range; all are made to achieve fuel mileage of 7 or greater; and none are likely to be featured as custom trucks.
The question is, fuel economy aside, which would you rather drive?
Probably the one on the right.
The truth is that as trucks become more efficient, they lose their appeal to drivers and fans alike. But that does not have to be the case. Chrome shops are busy creating new parts to fit these sleek rides. From sunvisors and chrome trim to LED lights, fenders, and bumpers, many products are available for aerodynamic trucks. Don't ever think that aerodynamic is the opposite of custom because, trust me, it isn't.
Glad to see some finally taking an interest in customizing the newer designs. I have an 03 t2000 I can't find much for, have considered trying to have items fabricated. @Dnk_Express (twitter)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment. I will make a post about the T2000 later today. There are actually a surprising number of parts for it in some places.
