These are mostly off-road heavy duty haul trucks mind you, but they'd still be road worthy if we wanted them to be.
I'd die for a nice 3406 Cat, in a Western Star 4900SA. 500+ horse and 18 speed, with a short sleeper. That was my first truck with this company, without the sleeper that is.
I think the gliders are close to being a thing of the past though?

Nice truck! Couple weeks ago I saw a 2017 F-350 Platinum hauling *** around my house. He was swerving all over tailgating cars, intimidating little sedans. I sped up and catched up to him and he had it with a 4 inch lift with American Forces, man did I fall in love. It was a dark blue with no chrome, all of the trim was black, even the platinum tailgate trim. Really nice truck. Have also seen some nice 2017 F-250. They look mean lifted with some wide rims and tires.

Too bad a nice looking truck had to end up with an idiot driver!! I found out today that my '13 Platinum didn't last a week on the lot...already sold. My new truck is averaging in the mid 15 mpg range so that's not too bad. Getting the bed lined and a new 5th wheel mounted this coming Tuesday.
