    Center drive seat? How can one check seat covers from there? What’s the world coming to…..

    I like that truck because it's ugly and most everyone hates it. That design has been in the stew pot cooking for the last three years. It's going to be great as a dump truck/ heavy haul prime rib mover. Hopefully peterbilt will stop making all the other models and concentrate on the pile. Yup the freeways and construction sites will be covered with them and the owners/drivers praising what a great looking driving machine this peterwagon is with a sack on their head.

    I am with you Truck Shop. What kind of moron would buy something you can't even craul under with out a hoist. Oh I forgot , they have truck hoists all over the road in Canada for crawling under, like this morning which was minus 29 Celcius . They must have those hoists all over the road in the USA also in anticipation of these beauties hitting the road. Common sense is gone. Simon C

    Squeeze a 12v-71 in there, and I'm your huckleberry. Can't wait to see oil stains on the drive tire skirts.

    I can't see why they designed and built a cabin with a seat and steering wheel? Aren't all trucks going to be 100% autonomous in our brave new world? We already have most big minesites here with fully autonomous earthmoving fleet - the autonomous trains are sneaking up on us - and we have one miner who has placed an order for a fleet of fully autonomous trucks hauling road trains full of ore, for their new iron ore mining operation. The Onslow Iron Project - Mineral Resources MinRes’ Onslow Iron project is set to redefine mining in Western Australia through world-first autonomous road trains, industry […] www.mineralresources.com.au
