...the thing you don't notice while you are shopping is how much noise they make/have. The wind noise on some of these bigger trucks is brutal. Couple that with drivetrain "hum", and the noise really tires you while you are driving. I had always wanted a MD truck, but now after experiences driving and towing a few of them, I've backed off on that thought. My personal tow vehicle is a 2018 Ram 3500 with high end trim, which also included additional sound deadening over a base model. I drove brand new 2020 Kenworth day-cab semi-tractor last week, and the new trucks have come A LONG way with sound isolation and deadening. You could not tell the engine was running unless you rolled down the window.

Screw what Brian said that thing is bad ass!!! Buy some Bose headphones, or adapt your boats headset! I'm sure my wife would love the break from hearing me talk about nonsense!!

It is funny, although I've never used it, I don't think I'd want a 2WD truck on a ramp.....

Ya the only thing holding me from buying it. Is that i feel like I'll just burn rubber at the ramps lol. But I think towing on the highway must be a breeze for the Freightliner. I really like that it has cummins and allison transition. The truck was originally an ambulance. But got converted
