    I would say go for the black KW. Major upgrade from the Lonestar. But if you do decide on the KW, get someone to come take a look at its problems first.

  • @patguelcher8676

    Personally like the blue with the lesser miles, but you have to do what is best for you!

    I like the black KW inside the cabinet over the icebox is a peace of wood is a table and that Knob next to the radio is a cell phone mount.

    @photogra4 Год назад +1

    I still like the looks of your Lonestar better. I mean, if it performs as well as the others and gets similar MPG, then why not just upgrade it with the pieces that are missing that the others offer, like more rear chicken lights and an APU etc. I realize the sleeper situation isnt better but, you know where everything is in your truck, (like where to hang the glad-hands and you have an actual rear work light on back of the sleeper) there are no surprises. I'm old school tho, if it aint broke dont fi it! Keep 'em turning so you stay earning... God Bless you and all the Long Haulers out on the road bringing everyone else the stuff they need to survive!

    Trade in for the black one, you got to stop scratching in the beginning of taking off . Remember that clutch is a hydraulic clutch you don’t have press down all the way like a spring loaded clutch. I have a W900

  • @dougwilliams5424

    When your empty you don't have to split the gears you can run it like a 10 speed same with your 13speed just split them when your heavy or going up big hills

    • @LoneStarTexasRanger

    THIS TRUCK IS JUST RIGHT FOR YOU....... In trucking there says an APU IS VERY NEEDEDY.
    The W-900 is for you.. From your Ol School (RET) Trucker from the Class of 82. "' BONECRUSHER out of VA. You look perfect in a Kenworth. Stay Safe and Blessed.

    @Thomas20Smith Год назад +3

    That’s a hard one, I like the black W9. I’d say check the price and see how much they’ll give you for the LoneStar and if you think it’s a good deal, go for it if not I’d wait. Haven’t been looking at the truck market like I was two years ago.
    But I like that Black one. The sleeper size is amazing and the fact it’s got an APU is a plus

    Follow alot of trucking channels, not sure why since I've been a machinist for 35 years. But you moved up to #2 behind Bruce. All the others just want to gloat about what the own and talk there family up which is plane as day to see its all scripted and nothing whats so ever to do with trucking. Glad you keep it real.

  • @13699111

    A thousand and one facts to analyze , then balance between family and work. Have you checked out the newest Kenworth / Peterbilt arrow fuel efficient truck's yet ? I suggested to my niece get professional automatic transmission training ,oh never anything but a stick shift period. Guess what she's now driving a automatic transmission semi truck and painfully admitted she wished she'd looked into the professional training. I told her reacting fast from mussel memory stick shift or automatic transmission saves lives and equipment.

I hope to see it in a future video. Good luck with your decision. 1:00:15

    The engine is actually over due for its overhaul, it should have been done closer to 500,000 as a rule . The reason its for sale is no doubt the owner didn't want to spend the money to do the necessary work on the engine. Be wary, consult a professional diesel mechanic, ultimately it's your money and livelihood. Good luck. Cheers !

Kenworth will sell you the mirrors, and you can pop them in and on the black w -900 bit. All seats have both arm rests. Depends on.
