What would be your choice when given the option of the following trucks:
KW T2000 Freightliner Century Class S/T FL Columbia Peterbilt 387 Mack Vision What would make you choose one over the other? What if the truck was 3 years old? ALSO.... what SPECIFIC options would you most like included if you were to buy one brand new?

You may notice a common thread among the vehicles listed: each is aerodynamically designed to maximize fuel efficiency. If the vehicle of your choice is not as aerodynamically efficient in its design as those listed, why in H E double hockey sticks would you want to lose money by having to expend more $$ on fuel? If maximizing profit is the goal (is durn sure mine!), then I want every cent I can squeeze out of every mile.
I did not give any consideration to the Volvo 880 due to the square nose that is so close to being the box-y Freightliner, a la Classic XT. The design is NOT as fuel efficient as I want. But...to each his/her own.
