Ok, though I would make a thread for this, since I dont beleive it has been mentioned. If you could post a link or picture of it please do so others can see. Mine, 09' Western Star 4900FA '67 edition. www.truckpaper.com/listings/detail.aspx?OHID=2023874&GUID=B8840D7F9E5A4E93A2E4C06FDBB3DFBBprobably alot of you are thinkin, POS like every new truck. Not really.........Western Star has been using the same style and design in their trucks since 1967, when the first WS rolled of the assembly line in Canada. This truck is ALL stock! From the bull bumper to the rear dress plate to the paint job! With a new DD15 engine with 1967 lb's feet of torque this truck can haul whatever you want where you want! Can a stock truck get any better? Nope, as I always say, Western Star, simply the best  Ok, anough of my short "story" lol Sean |

Do straight trucks count? If so I would take a Brigadier.

Straight trucks count, cause all semi's can be turned into straight trucks. Clayton, knew you would say that  I used to like Cummins ALOT but lately Ive heard these newer Cummins are doin so well, so I turned to liking Detroit Diesels for new engines. My fav. engine is still a Cummins Signature 600 though ;D Sean |

My favorite straight truck would be a Ford L8000 with 18 foot Omaha Standard grain bed  My favorite Semi would be a day cab Lonestar with right kinda paint job.  |

wow, thats a great ?. I quess mine would depend on what Im doing with it. Our freightliner century rides like a cadilac but I hate the autoshift, worst invention ever. The volvo isnt much on looks or comfort but it pulls like a freight train and is great for farmwork. The t800 kw and macs are proabaly the toughest trucks Ive ever ran, pretty much bulletproof. Idk, if I was pickin a daily driver and money was no option, Id go with the w900 kw, with a big detroit and 10 sp.
