That is a common idiotic statement by someone who is either delusional, or has never driven a 379. I am in the driver's seat of my 379 right now, and the passenger door is easily 1 1/2 feet out of my reach. For the record, I am 6'2".

Also lack of storage if you are running team in a Pete except for the 387 which all it is BTW a T-2000 with full height sleeper not what KW calls a high rise.
Again, a common statement by someone who has no clue. Here is a list of all of the stuff I currently have stored in my 379's interior storage:

-200 DVD's
-About 15 dress shirts hanging in my wardrobe, as well as about 15 pair of jeans
-Enough dry goods to last me 3 weeks
-A large electric griddle, toaster, frying pan, pot, electric hot stove
-An 8 pack of paper towels
-About 20 t-shirts
-Enough paperwork to require a small rainforest to replace

This doesn't even include my 20" TV, DVD player, Playstation, Microwave, and refrigerator.

I actually have more stuff in my 379 than I ever could fit in my Century Class.

I can easily roll the passenger widow down from the drivers seat in the 379 I drive, I just reach on the dash in front of me and hit the switch

Rev for your info I drove a 377 379 model Petes for Florilli in the late 90's ran team in them also. How ever you cut it for someone 6-6 they are SMALL in that cab and I could easily reach across the cab of both models of trucks to the passenger windows. Now the 387 is based off the T-2000 KW except for the split cooling system it has beyond that it is a T-2000 clone. The 63 inch double bunk has no storage for all that now the single bunk or Ultra sleeper would have that kind of storage but no way in HELL would you get all that in a bunkbed 379 since they delete the upper cabinets to install that spilt mattress upper bunk. Considering in my C120 I could and did stay out for about 6 weeks at a time with a beagle at Henderson and had plenty of storage space for my things the dogs and a trainee alot of the time I think I know what I am talking about.

I've measured the difference in width between a 379 and a Century Class. It was a whopping 6 inches. :roll:

So don't run a double bunk. Problem solved.

Good for you. I've stayed out for 3 months at a time in my 379, and had space for everything. It doesn't change the fact that you are still exaggerating.

Indeed.. something just told me this would happen. It's like the old Chevy/Ford/Dodge supremacy debates. Still rather fun to watch though..

By the way, Chevy owns all
