Default Which truck? POLL

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.

I've made that choice last year, can't complain so far! 8)

And T2000, is just "spoiled", version, of T600, with a more pricy repair bills! :P

What do you expect 13-15 mpg, there are more trucks out there then the ones you put up there that are very fuel effieint, but shopping around is better idea. I know when I had a volvo 660 I got well in the high 7's with my detroit
