Aggiedave's next truck

If you buy this truck, which I might add is nice, use it for something useful. Use it for something it is designed for.

Yeah. Run over some deaf immigrants for God's sake! That's what these are built for, right?

This thing says oilfield in big letters. The company I work for is involved in the transportation industry. You should see some of the 'trucks' Schlumberger uses on the north slope.

So...in West Texas, you might see some. Of course apart from the pickup bed, and the inside options...this is nothing new from international

6-8 mpg? i used to get 6.5 - 7 mpg with an old school LTL9000 with a gross weight of 80,000 to 110,000 pounds! they want too much money for it as well, but then again, the average pickup is getting ridiculously priced anyway.

i always thought that if peterbilt ever designed and manufactured a pickup (instead of sticking a stupid looking box on the back of a normal truck cab) they wouldn't be able to build them fast enough. they could design them the way they do big rigs, start with a serious frame and then hang high quality parts off of it. if something breaks, you can fix it, or replace it, but you always have a solid foundation to work from.

i'd buy one!
