Nicely detailed video! Went over everything with excellent explanation and clear, close up video! Very calm and clear voice. Showed us much of how you live in your truck. Never saw anyone do exactly that! 👍👍

Nice tour our your truck. I like Paccar trucks, but, this has some nice features. Some housekeeping would make the vid more appealing to watch. But, I like the real world and educational & informative stuff but none of that BS drama that many do.
Hey guy how do you lower the sensitivity meter when get close to a car and the truck slows down. How do you adjust it be less sensitive. Hope you understand my question? Thanks
wimpy as hell though..Have same trk but as a 16 yr...Auto tranny is slow and power for a 505 is depressing..Although fl did update my tranny to give me a performance shift...It does give it a bit more aggressive shift but no extra power as fellow drivers told me..
It's nice as far as trucks go, but I find in general, these companies make trucks so cheap. All the little things that should be added as a no brainer. Why don't they block UV light better? why cheap out on the windshields? Why not have roll bars like in Jeeps so drivers don't get crushed in an accident? just little things.
Here's a tip. Go to Wal-Mart and buy one of those Swifty dusters and a box of refills and dust your truck daily. to keep it immaculate. You'll be surprised how fast you can dust with that Swifty.
It's an Amped wireless Titan Ex RE 1900. With it I could pick up weak wifi without any problems and then it would rebroadcast that wifi into my truck. Let's say my xbox could not hold on to a wifi signal. I'd turn on the Amped and had no problems playing games. The day of this video I was picking up the hotel wifi that was about 1000 feet away.
Mercedes parent company owns Freightliner. They got the front end from the S500. Also the gear selector & screen from their European Mercedes semi trucks. All it’s missing is the Mercedes badge.
I have had very few problems with the truck that were not fixed by a couple of recalls. The only annoyance at this point is that the steer brakes moan and groan, especially when doing a hard stop. My company said that this is a problem with many of their 2018 trucks.As far as the fuel mileage I am averaging 8.4 on the computer for all 174,000 miles that I currently have on the truck. That's 8.25 for actual fuel usage because I have an apu.
Keith Green Thank you. But it hasn't left you stranded or stayed in the shop for a long time? That's impressive mpg since you're pulling a reefer (I'm assuming most of your loads are maxed out) How did the interior hold up? Stuff rattling? I wanna thank you for answering my questions
No problems that have left me stranded but I had a wire that broke to my coolant level sensor. I got the shut down warning. I found it and was able to fix it in a service plaza in PA. As far as the interior I have one minor squeak in the sleeper that I can't find. Yes, I am usually maxed out but I rarely ever haul groceries. We haul concentrates for the 3 major soda companies, always hazmat. Today I have a load of adhesives and I am parked in Utah. This load put me at 78980.
Keith Green ehhhh minor stuff. I'll see how much they run, I was set on a Volvo but I heard when they're down, they're down for awhile since Volvo doesn't have the parts to back them up. Last week I got hit hard by hail on 70 right before Denver, stay safe my friend
Actually, the I owned 2 Volvos over the past 12 years before I gave up on being an OO. I loved my Volvos. One a 730 and the other a 780. The one advantage to them is that their service departments have fewer trucks waiting and it's faster to get into the shop.
@@keithgreen70 hey I'm just starting out and I was trying to figure out if you can get your own wifi for your truck instead of doing a mobile hot spot or paying the truck stop. Is there a way to do that?
Get your self speedify and bond 2 sim together i was able get 500 800 mbs with 4 hot spot im working on a esy setup with pinzero so you can run all sim on one device for undern 200$
The inverter runs off of the batteries. The apu charges the batteries. So, indirectly, yes. There are some inverters that run directly off of the apu but they only work when the apu is running.
Howcome they dont make these in manual transmission??? Is that a new thing now all the truck manufacturer's not interested in what the drivers feel is best
Luke Shamblin 1 I don't poop in it. 2 I use a KOA brand toilet chemical. 3 It's completely sealed when not in use. You could roll this thing on it's top without spilling a drop.
Mike Singh Yes the Jake works at 2400 rpm And use your Accelerator manually not the cruise especially on down Grade because you can adjust your Jakebreak from low to high to lower your RP m's. The automatic is a real good system trust me from traffic to down grade

Hello Keith, it's a nice truck. How many horse power have this Detroit engine ? Thanks for sharing and hugs from Brazil.
David Silva Nogueira It's rated at 505 HP.

Who cares. I bet your tuck gets no gas mileage like his does
Looks good bro.....my company just got sum looking forward to driving one

londonoalex Roll bars? Lol you act as if it’s a normal thing for trucks to roll they very rarely ever do much more than land on their side.
What kind of truck do you drive
My favourite truck

Great video.
Is the bumper still on?
did you get to choose the truck at your choice
Nice truck!
Damn good detailed video bud!
Will Prime give me one of these?
is this your truck and did you get to chose this
Can you tell me what kind of range extender you're using and how I could use it to the Benefield what play games and watching TV

@@keithgreen70 where can I get one
I got mine at Frys electronics. I think that you can find them on Amazon.
@@keithgreen70 could you give me the brand and model number please
You can definitely see the Mercedes Heritage in the front end design
Mercedes parent company owns Freightliner. They got the front end from the S500. Also the gear selector & screen from their European Mercedes semi trucks. All it’s missing is the Mercedes badge.
Have you had any problems with it? Has it been in the shop and what for?
Is that 8.1 average?
Thank you for the tour

nice truck tour
nice trucks
What is the size of the steering wheel in your truck ?
Terrance R not sure.
Keith where did you get that range finder Wi-Fi and how much was it Good video brother
BIG Mike It was $130 at Frys. I only use it if I get a weak wifi signal. It's an Amped Wireless High Power Titan X AC1900.
Keith Green Thank you Keith preciated be safe I am subscribing to you keep the videos coming
@@keithgreen70 hey I'm just starting out and I was trying to figure out if you can get your own wifi for your truck instead of doing a mobile hot spot or paying the truck stop. Is there a way to do that?
The only options are either a hotspot from your wireless provider or pay for truck stop wifi. Pilot/Flying J typically has the best wifi.
Get your self speedify and bond 2 sim together i was able get 500 800 mbs with 4 hot spot im working on a esy setup with pinzero so you can run all sim on one device for undern 200$
Can the apu power the inverter?
The inverter runs off of the batteries. The apu charges the batteries. So, indirectly, yes. There are some inverters that run directly off of the apu but they only work when the apu is running.
Howcome they dont make these in manual transmission??? Is that a new thing now all the truck manufacturer's not interested in what the drivers feel is best
sticK&Clutch My compant bought 6 autos and 6 13 speeds to see which one gets better fuel mileage. I'm over 21k miles and my average is 8.1mpg.
Keith Green
Can you please give me specs of your truck, engine hp, engine make, gears ratio? Thanks
Keith Green at what speed are you crusing
sticK&Clutch got a company truck brand new A/T blows at 45k
RB25luvGT35R Automatic blown as an it disintegrated?? or blows as an it sucks?
Good lookin rig.👍
thanks for the tour nice truck but junky and wow you have a long list of states not to get fuel in
Buen video
Shit box in front of the intake for the ac? Are you being serious or is that a joke?
Luke Shamblin 1 I don't poop in it. 2 I use a KOA brand toilet chemical. 3 It's completely sealed when not in use. You could roll this thing on it's top without spilling a drop.
just need to know if the fucking jake works without going to 2400 rpms. rest i dont care
Mike Singh Yes the Jake works at 2400 rpm And use your Accelerator manually not the cruise especially on down Grade because you can adjust your Jakebreak from low to high to lower your RP m's. The automatic is a real good system trust me from traffic to down grade
And yes it works without going 2400 rpm in cruise control are not in cruise control
So why u need all that btw I have a castle
I live in this truck for a couple of weeks per week. I like to live comfortably reguardless of where I go.
This truck is one fucking hell of a mess! Dude! All that picky shit on the dash! Man, you better take more care of your baby! Gosh!
they way you use the letter S gave me a headache..dammit man..
Bob Americana it’s called a lisp you dumbass, he can’t help that.
super truck.
that thing is low af, like can you even get over a speed bump in that shit? *(disclaimer i am not calling freightliner shit)*
CAMARO_KYLE yes, but I go slowly over speed bumps and through rough parking lots.
Keith Green ok
Nice
