- We put Dean to the test.
In this video, we compiled a list of 14 trucks and had Dean compare them! He has driven all kinds of trucks and has a lot of insight on whether or not a truck is manufactured well, drives well, or just simply looks good on the road. So we thought this would be a fun exercise to make Dean pick his TOP 2 favourite trucks out of the list we gave him!
What truck is your #1 pick?
1. 2018 Mack Titan vs 2018 Western Star 4900SD
2. 2005 Peterbilt 379EX HD vs 2005 Volvo VNL 64
3. 2014 Freightliner Coronado vs 2014 Kenworth T660
4. 2020 International LT vs 2020 Volvo VNL 860
5. 1999 Kenworth W900 vs 2022 Kenworth W900L
6. 1999 Peterbilt 379 vs 2022 Peterbilt 579
7. 1999 Freightliner FLD132 Classic X vs 2022 Freightliner Cascadia

My personally I will take a Kenworth W900L everyday of the week
379
Why compare Pete to Pete, kw to kw, freightliner to freightliner? Why not the 1999 kw w900 vs the 1999 Pete 379. Now that's a comparison of real trucks. Everyone will have a different option on that. But I was interested one your take
I know I'm going w900 over Pete. But that's because I think Pete engineers aren't smart enough to hang a clutch pedal. Which makes the Pete so awkward use the clutch.
Thats my son's Western Star its been a great truck. Its too bad the 4900EX are no longer being produced he's says its is much better than the Petrrbilt 379 he had before
Always Kenworth the only other truck I'll drive is Peterbilt
I have a 99 W900 86” studio sleeper 1MM 600 Cat 18 over 3:55 rears 11R 25:5 tall rubber last truck I will build and drive. Sure feels good going through a level one inspection officer asking if it is really a 99 like title says because they have new trucks not even a year or two old failing inspection.
I have an 08 Pete 367 tri-ax dump (I work construction), the DOT guys can't believe the truck is an 08 despite hauling aggregate and asphalt daily...only thing I've ever been gigged for was a light being out which I replaced on the spot since I always carry a couple spare marker lights in the truck.
I was raised on 1980's Kenworth T600's. Nostalgia from all those summer vacations over the road with my father instilled the love of trucking in me that still burns today.
Hey that’s awesome brother. They are a cool ride for sure
You can't get a Detroit in a 2020 Volvo. I'm not sure you ever could 🤔 to my knowledge. The Coronado and Century class are actually Columbia's. They just have different hoods and warranties. And youre right, they rattle cause their freight shakers. Navistar LT is an old Prostar with a new hood and redesigned interior and serves its purpose. Every truck has a purpose. Vocational/ off road will be Paccar, Westerns, Mack's. OTR would be the VNL and modern Cascadia. Both OE 12 speed automated trannys are far superior than an Eaton 12 or 18 auto. You sound like a Harley guy. Lots of chrome, looks tough, sounds great, rides heavy but lost a lot of its reliability. Pete/ KW makes great cabs but has really lost their ability to grow much marketshare for OTR due to the inability to come up with a reliable proprietary engine platform thar is fuel efficient.
I had a 1988 T 600 for years then a 1998 w900 now a 1999 Pete yup good life
This guy obviously has no knowledge about Detroit diesel engines. since 2002 when freightliner bought Detroit diesel you can only buy a Detroit engine in a Freightliner or Western trucks
This video is a joke, why is this guy picking trucks like he knows what he is talking about? For starters he is claiming things that are just not true, after 2000 when Daimler Chrysler purchased Detroit Diesel and also owned Freightliner every other manufacturer dropped Detroit Diesel from the engines available in their trucks and he claiming otherwise, not true. He complaines about the kenworth having close seating but doesn't mention it with the peterbuilt even though they share the same cab basically, ET Transport usually puts out informative videos but I have found none of that here. No comparison between the older trucks vs newer trucks, the older trucks are capable of great fuel mileage vs the new choked of emissions trucks the real problem is very few people know how to set up a truck for fuel mileage, example my 99 FLD120 I just sold got 9.2 mpg consistently.
Great catch. I have mentioned in a few comments already that I mistakenly put in the Detroit engine. I agree the Kenworth and Peterbilt share Very close cab size I just find personally the Peterbilt to be better displaced inside. The last thing I will ever admit to is knowing everything about the trucks. Those are just some of my own personal takes. I definitely appreciate your comment and input. Keep on Truckin brother
Have y'all every tested the Mack Anthem? If so, what do you think about it?
I personally have not. But I do plan to test drive some Macks in the near future.
I like it, it’s got great power and always feels planted because of the great build quality all the steel. But a lot of bigger guys don’t like them because they’re a bit cramped inside. The only thing I hate about the Mack’s is the turning radius, it’s literally half of a freightliner. But overall they’re pretty nice inside
Western star 4900ex for me thanks
Love my t680 but hate the paccar motor
Yeah not a big fan of the Paccar either
Thanks for the comment!
The T680 got a nasty snub
Et transport definitely gets paid by Freightliner to promote cascadias 😂😂😂😂
They have great luck with them and fuel economy is on point 👍
I was lucky enough to go for a ride with my Dad in a cabover when I was kid and I've loved cabovers ever since.
Yeah one of my first gigs was in an International eagle cab over with a bunk and a crane behind that. Streeeeetched lol but fun truck for sure.
I'm 19 and midway through driving school, I can't stop dreaming about a K100E with an Aerodyne sleeper... it's just too good.
I'm all about fuel savings,if fuel was low old school all the way
Wouldn’t newer school save you more fuel ?
Yeah especially these days, fuel for the win
No, the newer engines don't last as long as the order ones and they don't the fuel mileage the older trucks are capable of, I spent 40 years as an owner operator and just retired and the newest truck I ever owned was a 1999 and it averaged 9.2 mpg with a 12.7 Detroit Diesel and the one before that did 8.1 mpg with a mechanical Cat.
People today don't know what a truck is. It's all plastic over priced through away junk.
I would like to see a 2022 cascadia compared to a 2022 T680 comparison.
If Volvo could fix their wiring system/sensor problems, they could most likely take over from Freightliner, as North American sales leader. Two friends, love the ride, but at last report, will not buy another. One will retire, the other will switch to Freightliner, most likely.
I'm used to Volvo Penta motors, in mining equipment, just shy of two years they start having sensor and harness issues. Love Caterpillar.
Thx for the great response, and go cat go!!
All I can go by is my own novice experience. I drove around 30 newer Cascadias as a slip seater. I found all but one of them to be lacking to atrocious. The inconsistencies were glaring. Some had touchy brakes and throttle and some easier, but not smooth. All of them except one had nice tight steering for about ten miles and then it got loosey goosey from there. Controls varied too much from year to year models. One would have the radio in close reach and have controls on the steering wheel, and another would have the radio far to the right and for me a real stretch, but then NO contols on the steering wheel.
Compare that to a 2016 international and it seems like a diamond in the rough. smooth braking, throttle, and steering. Not too much creature comforts and not very advanced smart cruise control, but driving it made my day easy.
2021 kenworth w900l with a supersleeper and a cummins
Very nice
Sounds like a nice ride
Maybe just a bit more HGH in the arms please
Haha nope nope nope for this guy. Creatine some Nox, BCAA proper diet and grind hard in the gym.
I pick the same one's as you except the first one. Hate mack trucks
My number one pick is the 2022 international lt, I just got issued a brand new one at my current company and it is the nicest truck I have ever driven. Personally I do have a soft spot for KW’s in general and I prefer the newer stuff because it’s more economical and generally comes with more modern day creature comforts than any of the long nose trucks.
Thx for the comment. Yeah fuel economy is the way to go now
That's great Tyler, thanks for sharing! Fuel economy all the way!
😂 Lol I get better fuel milage with the the 600 horse Cummins in my current ride an 08 Pete 367 than the guys I work with do with newer trucks.
@@aaronsanborn4291 What are you hauling and where are you hauling it? Mine’s got the cummins x15, I’m hauling van trailers across the southern midwest, and with the way my company set up the truck I’m getting 7.4 mpg.
Omg, those muscles...
Hahaha. Behave, young lady.
@@dougmitchell5435 😄
Damn you a cutie ☺️ clearly need to subscribe to your channel 👍
@@truckergal Hah. If you're not careful, I'll come to your channel and show how indelicate comments are really done! 🤣
@@dougmitchell5435 Do me the favor so I can block you 😂
On the next video, can it be his workout regime while on the road💪🏽
SERIOUSLY
4:50 In the U.S.A. International LT's are not available with the DD15, instead you can get the A26 engine or the cummins like you mentioned. In Canada is it possible to get a Detroit in a new International ??
I think stage freight got the best of me lol no I don’t believe you can get a Detroit in an international here in Canada either
99 w900 600 cat 86" bunk hands down!
No elog and No def!
Beautiful truck! Best of the best!
Where does he get his smedium t-shirts?
Haha extra medium 😂
😂😂
surprisingly Dean, I was picking the same ones you did, while I was watching the video, I feel almost like I know a lot about trucks now. Have an Awesomeness week, thanks for the vid
Lol that is awesome to hear brother. I guess we both have good taste lol stay safe out there
I would go for a t680 cummins
Ronin is stomping the floor every time he picks old long hood iron
Haha! 😂
L O L I might have hell to pay for this
I just bought a 99 Pete 385 with a cat and 13 speed. I do short runs and see systems hate short runs. But it will be my last truck
Very nice 👍 happy to hear your final truck will be a Pete.
DEF systems hate short trips
It's got to be a Mack. Ask the Australian's they are the boys when it comes to powerful trucks.
Mack's are beasts OTR!
In australia they are prefering the European cab over trucks. More comfortable and economical. Then the scania v8 770hp is more powerful than the cummins volvo and mack.
HEY NOW….. I like what you did for that shirt 💪🏼👀 Post workout & diet tips so more dudes can rock this look out there.
Video definitely coming my friend 💪
Will do!! Stay tuned!
W900 1999 under 5 mpg…it’s a really bad ass to my wallet at $5 a gallon or more 😂😂😂😂
I use to drive old 90s 379 and there good but I feel like 389 are just junk like brand truck with doors not shutting wind nose and radio problems and just rattles and squeaks you can feel the cheapness in them but that’s just a sample size for 30 ish trucks but all junk all 2017 and newer but the 579 is really nice it quite and guess what the doors shut I’m it ain’t no ford but there good
comparison btween mack anthem nd volvo ???
For those across the "pond" the numbers mean nothing. peter 359/379 whatever. can we get an explanation please.
We can definitely get Dean to discuss this!
Older trucks over everything. Newer trucks will tear you a new one as an owner operator
DEF system is a killer
1999 kw w900
Yup beautiful ride
Ronan give my man here a 2022 cascadia
Maybe we will get Dean to test drive a 2022 Cascadia!
I’m upset the Mack anthem wasn’t in this video I love that truck
Maybe in one of the next ones my friend, we really just randomly pulled trucks and went with it lol
That Volvo VEST system sounds really good
It is! Really interesting.
The VEST system sucks especially when you are driving through switchbacks in the mountains or going around a slight curve you know a barely steep bend in the road that you as a driver know you can take at speed without even slowing any, but yet this ignorant system slams the brakes for you constantly. It will slam the brakes for a big enough bug that crosses one of the sensors on the front bumper.
Not to mention the system has started giving my company and me tons of issues with the ABS, TCS and Stability Tract LIGHTS that come on because of one of their ten thousand sensors that Volvo's super smart engineers (NOT) thought would be a good idea to cause one's ECU to shutdown and throw check engine and stop engine lights all because of an ABS and or TCS issue.
My Volvo has been at the dealership for three weeks now while they chase what it could be a bare wire causing a shortage not yet been found but in the meantime they have replaced the vehicle ECU, the ABS module, the brake ECU and now the steering wheel angle position sensor also apart of the BEST SYSTEM EVER (NOT) LOL the VEST system but it the steering wheel angle position sensor is going to be replaced today if the lineup and recalibration of said sensor doesn't fix the issues.
The system shut the engine down because the steering angle position sensor on the computer was showing it was off 400° degrees when the steering wheel was straight happened because of the roads in Louisiana.
Bopefully after today I will be back on the road with it but during said down time I've been driving a 94 Peterbilt unfortunately it's a daycab otherwise I would stay in it without a doubt, but kind of hard to be OTR on a daycab lol.
She has a 3406 B model CAT in her and she also has 1.7 million miles and she gives us zero problems.
The company has owned it since new and according to them and their mechanics it has never been rebuilt just new injectors a few years back. Give me that old iron any day over this computerized nonsense!
Sorry about the long comment but I said all that to warn anyone that is an Owner Op and thinking of purchasing one of these Volvo's with this option to stay away, unless you plan on leasing and getting a new one every couple of years.
My Volvo would be awesome and pulls like crazy and rides and drives like a dream we ordered it with the Cummins instead of the Volvo engine but she runs and pulls like a champ if it wasn't for that after treatment nonsense def etc and the vest system issues by the way I'm a Peterbilt man but you can only drive what your company offers so I love my Volvo except for the nonsense extras that in my opinion isn't needed but I digress.
Over and out my brother's and sister's of the road, I and my family appreciate each and every one of you and your service and sacrifice we all make of being away from our families for the collective good of our countries and the people there in to keep our shelves stocked, gas stations full and everything else we the truckers bring which is (EVERYTHING).
Keep the rubber side down and the shiny sides up over and out 10/4!
Any pre-emissions truck I would choose. Definitely not a cascadia
Thanks for the comment David!
Ive been wondering are you Guys over there able to get the european engines for the volvos?
My choice is a 389 glider with a 6NZ cat all day long .
Got me drooling brother
Agree on all your picks. Especially that 99 379. Always the winner
Glad you agree! Thanks for sharing!
Kenworth is by far the best truck I've driven over all...I've driven W900s and T800s and loved them both especially with Cat motors in them.... comfortable and power for days (I work in the woods and construction)...I've driven every major brand in the U.S., I also liked driving the International 9200, 9300 and 9400 series with a Cat or Detroit under the hood. I hated driving Western Star and Mack.
Thx for the review, I like hearing everyone’s take on it
Ripped All N
That Mack is tuff. Nice call on all the trucks.
VNL 760 the best truck on the road today hands down
2022 Cascadia
Oh ya!!
After Freightliner Cascadia I’m a KW guy l drove Kenworth T680 l love it.
Hands down Freightliner Cascadia 2022 is the best truck
Hey man, thanks for the comment it is a nice truck for sure
Great vid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!!
@@NorthAmerican-Trucking-News 👍
Hey thx👍
@@lifedrivefitness9123 👍
Well, another lesson on trucks. Great info
Thanks, Dean.
Pleasure watching your videos
What... no mention of the 81' Chevy 5000? Ha... ha...
Lol that was the dark horse
@@lifedrivefitness9123 Well, for me it the dead horse more often than not. It had an 8-cylinder "gas" engine that could barely stay out of it's own way. Sure don't miss it at all.
How about the westernstar 5700
Have you driven it personally?
@NorthAmerican-Trucking-News No sir, I was interested in a review but can't find much on it. I like the fact it has a Detroit motor and a large sleeper, and I believe a steel body. Mix between the old and new. I Googled the mpg claiming 7.6 average, not sure how true that is.
Mack titan made it
379 Pete all the way
My kind of guy👍
deano on the TRT
Lol no sir just train yo ass off
Awesome video! 💯
Glad you liked it!
Hands down Peter built 379!!!
My kinda guy
Dam, as someone who really doesn't know a lot about trucks, I really thought you would tell me more things I couldn't figure out from the picture.
2000000 miles on western star
Stars are workhorse’s for sure
Almost first...
Lmao 😆 yes Dean I’ll have the Volvo
👍👍
LMAO I knew you would get a kick out of that brother. You can have the Volvo, lol just don’t lean up against it I don’t want the fairing falling off lol
As a freightliner classic lover I’m gonna have to side with the Cascadia as my new lover🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol gotta have that new love
@@lifedrivefitness9123 new love costs less to fuel and maintain.
I was hoping for tours.
If I had an unlimited budget I’d get a new Cascadia double bunk glider kit Detroit 12.7L 600hp, 18sp, 3.08 gears, steer air ride, dual wheels, and no transfer case with rear tandem lift.
That sounds like a nice set up. I definitely do like the glider kits
@@lifedrivefitness9123 It’s a setup to get over 10mpg and still run paper logs. Put a Bullydog tuner and FASS fuel pump on the engine. Use a controller to drop the front air suspension down at speed and install side skirts that cover the rear wheels and longer cab fairings. It won’t be a long hood Peterbilt but you’ll save $1000+ a week in fuel. I wish I could have a truck like that but you don’t get what you want in life.
2022 KW W900L
Peterbilt 379
All day!
Best Truck Ever 👍
2022 cascadia all day. Its not a beauty pageant its a tool. For regular dry van freight give me the fuel economy and reliability
2022 freighter. I am driving.
I will go for the Mack
Classic xl >cascadia
The 2009 Freightliner Corando is my favorite. 💯
8:45 Why is that 1999 379 missing its inner wheels?
I wish Peterbilt looked like the Mack Anthem.
A Petermack lol
Heck no
When it comes to reliability nothing will beat your VNL
They have definitely come a long way
Your 100
Good Video
Mack titan all the way nothing like a mack although western star us a nice truck too
Out of all the rigs I’ve driven Volvo vnl is the best for me
I was really necessary this guy has his kid shirt to show he is in shape.
Smooth brain take from a soft body.
“But hey, it looks nice, eh? Huhuhu”
(Yes, I’m jealous. Now go away!”
What?
Could he get a bigger size shirt? sure but this guy clearly older and freaking ripped and you over here hating on him? Must say a lot about your physique
He have a phenomenal shape for his age, no homo💪🏽
