As a previous GXV customer I'm glad Storyteller seems to be getting things on the right track. My only complaint is that the K370 Kenworth is a complicated beast. Yes the Paccar PX7 is basically a Cummins ISB but the chassis retains a lot of the 24V systems from DAF. The chassis is a DAF LF re-badged and reworked to NHTSA standards. We had a few chassis gremlins that we worked out and the truck doesn't like long treks in the heat. It will get hot and one of the "fail-safe" features when the temp gets to a certain point is to de-rate the engine output and cut the A/C compressor. Yes there are Kenworth dealers everywhere but not many of them have much experience with the K370 so if you have an issue prepare to be patient while they work things out. All in all it's a good truck so don't let my comments deter you but they are things to be aware of.
Saw this at Overland Expo but finally someone has a video of it driving on the road. With the King and air suspension combo it seems like its not wandering over the room even with its large tires (44"?) but would like to see how it running at 65mph on the highway.

Reminds me of an LMTV in the military.
There goes the neighborhood 😂
Wish you guys had a mic for the Storyteller guys in the back so we could hear the specs they were telling you.
Cool
They couldn't do a Mitsubishi Fuso or a Chevrolet Low Cab Forward.
The Kenworth K370 is a much larger platform. I have an LCF, a Fuso and an NPR.
