Question is....what fairly newer model truck has the most sleeper and/or storage space?

nice....BUT cannot have a long wheelbase.

My Volvo 780 has a lot of storage space, forward and back. I think the only real contender are some of the condo Freightshakers but if you are considering one of those over a Volvo I'd cut to the chase and invest in a .357 and a single bullet.

All right then, try this one . .

I'm actually serious about this one . . if he's telling the truth and you can get him to come down a little on that price, that looks like a good deal but not a steal. If you plan to continue running at or near Swift speed, that transmission will get better fuel economy and those are some serious warrantys.

I've had 3 Columbias and 2 Volvos (780?). Space inside the cab seems to be about equal (condos) but the Volvo had much better under bunk storage plus it had the equivalent of a 2 car garage behind the passenger side faring. I have seen that used for storage but have never seen where the accessories come from. It might have been home made.

If I were choosing a platform for a motor home (I know!) I'd probably go with the Volvo, too. To me, the Columbia handles more like a truck should; it isn't as comfortable but I like the inputs I get from the road.

again...nice...but its automatic. not asking to forward me 'for sale' listings...i can look for myself. what i'm asking is just what truck has the most storage. i've narrowed it down to the t2000 or the volvo 780.

i'm still with swift. waited till they started taking on 3rd party trucks. so if i can find one for $300/wk, i'm saving $800+/mo in payments, not to mention my name would be on the title. as long as i keep the miles i'm getting, with a $300/mo payment, i could make $1000/wk take home.

what about a 387 pete?

i've had columbia's and 660 volvos (or 670?). honestly didnt even miss the extra 10" of bunk space in the volvo.
