    That is by far the heaviest set up truck I've seen personally. Those automatics have come a very long way in a very short time, I remember fielding the first ones and they were God awful. By the time the 2nd generation programming and associated parts came out, they were some of the best automatics I've ever driven that weren't performance built in a car.
    Most people can't even drive stick let alone unsyncro transmission setups 😂
    And yes, im aware it's an automated manual. Porsche and VW have been doing that for years with PDK transmissions, but we still call those automatics too 😉

      You have that right. With all the Traffic that keeps building on roadways, unless you only Drive at 3AM the City's are all stop and go traffic. If anyone believe that helps a Clutch no matter how well built thay are. It still heats up more than it should. Guys just love shifting a Big rig. To do it without grinding that's music to a truckers ears, and EGO.

I'm totally amazed and blown away by how far modern-day 21st century 'big truck' technology has advanced, progressed and changed compared to the trucks that I drove back in the '90's. Compared to the first truck that I owned back then - a used and previously built as working show truck - '87 FLC 120 Freightliner, this beautiful and luxurious Pete is like a CADILLAC!
