I think that is the freightliner if I'm not mistaken. I know they were offering a truck to the general public a short time ago. The ford looks a bit more nasty in my opinion.

These things are ridiculously big. Whats even more ridiculous is that they probably have better fuel efficiency than the 8.

It's a semi cab truck. Monsters really, they are 1 ton+ trucks, literally made to pull semi trailer if need be. There are a lot of these here, lots of ranchers and rednecks have them. Some actually use them other use it to be loud and annoying.

^Exactly. I once saw one in my area. He was running over RX8's like they were curb checks. Sad, really. Luckily I was faster than him.

Not crying at all. I'm doing my part to help to deplete our natural deposits of fossil fuels so manufactures will be forced to introduce engines such as the hydrogen engine. I try to keep my car above 6000 RPM to ensure I am burning above normal amounts of fuel compared to that of my fellow motorists.

To want one of those pretend Semi Tractors as a DD I suspect that you'd have to have a very small *****....
