Looking at an 07 T600B right now. Ya I wanted a W9 but gotta start somewhere, cant jump up to the big leagues right away. The T600 is the same firewall back anyways, just doesn't have the nice long hood, or as nice of ride, and not as easy to work on motor, but all still way better than anything else. Good Fuel economy too, and you really can see out of those things. Took our main driver over to the dealer yesterday and we test drove it, but it was being transferred as somebody was putting a deposit down on it at a different location. However they just got in an identical truck from the same company with 40,000 less miles, and it was in a little better shape, same price. So we drove both. Both are too nice, especially compared to the freightliner, but they are spec'd perfectly and are in our price range.
They both are identical, heres the specs.
2007 T600B
C13 430HP w/jake lifetime economy is 6.7mpg with 38% idle time.
13spd OD
3.36 Rears
22.5LP Michelins 70-80% on drives
All aluminum wheels inside and out
AG380 suspension
230" Wheelbase
Air slide 5th
Full fairings
62" Flat-Top Aerocab/Aerodyne
Diamond non VIT interior. (I asked the salesman the difference on the VIT as I hadn't always understood. He said its for the bigger sleepers, they put doors on the cabinets and put in a better insulation package, so if you dont get the VIT you have to make sure to order the insulation package seperate, which they did on these trucks. He said they do not do VIT on the 62". The diamond interior is beautiful IMHO.
Dual sleeper doors both sides with windows in both larger
Espar bunk heater, NITE no-idle A/C system
Power Windows/Locks/Mirrors
Daylite Doors
Sunroof
Rubber Floor (a plus for us)
Auto-Greaser
Dual spotlights
618,000 on the original one we looked at that may be sold. 578,000 on the one were looking at now.
Asking around 49,000
Overall they are very clean trucks that they originally sold, so they have all records. Both ran very nice. Our test drive route were some of the roughest roads around here. Very comfortable trucks. We wanted a day cab but after seeing and driving these ones with the shorter flat-tops, a sleeper doesn't sound too bad. Better ride quality, more room to put our stuff, and we always have the bunk there in-case we would need it. After talking to some people the flat-tops hold their value once their get up there in miles because farmers want them for hauling hoppers.
Dad is in miami right now, but I think I will be going over to put a deposit on it so he can look when he gets back.
Heres a few pictures of the one that is pending sale. The one we drove was a little nicer.
