Had one of those once, really liked it, miss it. Automatic?
Naborsx21@reddit (OP)
Yup it's an auto
Efficient_Ostrich_54@reddit
Some of the purists talk shit but it's nice for heavy traffic. Pete's naturally ride higher too so you're cranking a lot less.
RumbleDumblee@reddit
For real. I only recently graduated, but I do not want to clutch and brake consistently in traffic. My job I’m going to does a lot of Atlanta driving
Efficient_Ostrich_54@reddit
Atlanta is the worst city in the country.
CrookByTheBook@reddit
Entire SoCal says - you sure about that?
Efficient_Ostrich_54@reddit
Yes, the ppl in socal are shitty, BUT not to the level of Atlanta. Atlanta is entitled to the level where ppl will try to cheat death. They are STUPID entitled. LA isn't stupid.
acd2002@reddit
St Louis has entered the chat
Efficient_Ostrich_54@reddit
Stop Louis is a kitten compared to Atlanta
acd2002@reddit
you're probably right, but idk, I've never been to ATL, but st louis is the worst city I've been to.
Efficient_Ostrich_54@reddit
You haven't been anywhere.
RumbleDumblee@reddit
Yeah it’s gotta be up there with Chicago and NYC
Efficient_Ostrich_54@reddit
NYC they are at least polite. Atlanta is an entitled shithole.

My last otr truck was a 2020 579 ultraloft. Cummins anniversary edition motor, 13 speed. Company truck, got it with 136 km on it so it was a piggyback too.
Absolutely loved it, so much room. Dead quiet inside tho.
Naborsx21@reddit (OP)
The interior compared to my 2016 Lonestar is night and day difference. It's so nice.

Saw the TLG mud flap in back. Are you at a Larsen Group dealership? Always got really good service from them especially the one in Springfield, MO.
Naborsx21@reddit (OP)
Yeah I'm at the one in st Louis. The warranty, price, and stuff seemed like a good deal. Has the apu, deer guard, and service records from prime so seems like a decent deal really.
xccoach4ever@reddit
was gonna say the grill guard looks like a Prime truck. Should be a good one for you!
Naborsx21@reddit (OP)
Thanks I think it is. One of the guys I go to that knows everything about everything about trucks was a tech for the prime shop in Springfield and now has a mobile mechanic service where he fixes farm equipment and trucks etc and he said this is probably one of the safer bets being prime with an apu deer guard etc.

I HAD the same truck, it just gave me the shivers. PTSD kicking in.
Naborsx21@reddit (OP)
Haha why's that?
Additional_Dingo_439@reddit
Maybe I just had a lemon. Gave me tons of issues with the DEF/SCR. But 2020s are good. Wish you the best!
Naborsx21@reddit (OP)
Could be. Getting anything used is always a gamble. I know there's a lot of Paccar hate, but shrug idk. It's all the same really. Shits gunna break, some shit people like more than other shit. No matter what you have or like people will say you're wrong or x y or Z. Haha
Verin_th@reddit
Commercial funder here, and about 90% of my clients are 1-3 truck o/o's. he only people who really hate on Paccar now are those buying their first truck with no real o/po experience, with the exception of one dude who truly did have a lemon.
They're solid, and congrats on getting your rig
Additional_Dingo_439@reddit
I’ve had a 2016 K T680 with over 1.8m KM. Paccar is great.
Kayanarka@reddit
Grats!
Dangerous-Jello-1889@reddit
Nice Truck!
Naborsx21@reddit (OP)
Thank you :)
jmiller370@reddit
Nice rig driver
Naborsx21@reddit (OP)
Thank you :)
Independent-Fun8926@reddit
Nice truck!! May it be a reliable, money-printing machine!
Naborsx21@reddit (OP)
Thank you :) I hope it is. I have a better feeling about this with the warranty than the older Cummins I had.
DennisReynoldsGG@reddit
You look stuck, lol. But seriously, she’s a beaut.
Naborsx21@reddit (OP)
Haha thank you :)
FreeAndRedeemed@reddit
Paccar or Cummins?
Naborsx21@reddit (OP)
Paccar. I just went with it because of the warranty they offer. The Cummins isx I had was rebuilt and I dumped 30k into it then cracked a head. It was never ending problems even with basically 2 rebuilds on it at 762k miles.
xccoach4ever@reddit
Very nice truck!
burtreynoldsmafia@reddit
is that an old R&L peterbilt?
CobraWasTaken@reddit
Most likely a Prime Inc Peterbilt
Naborsx21@reddit (OP)
Nope it is an old prime truck actually lol
burtreynoldsmafia@reddit
ok thank you. very nice. good luck
Snkrfiend_@reddit
Prime swaps out the super singles before selling.
Dirtyromo@reddit
Looks like an old Cheema truck
Additional_Dingo_439@reddit
It’s FORCE REGEN green.
Insciuspetra@reddit
Is that Metallic Money Green?
Naborsx21@reddit (OP)
Luscious lizard green. Free paid parking at the pilot in Memphis for 14 nights with this bad boy.
The real color is called Jade green.
