RE: Which 2017 truck would you go with?
In the past 10 years I've owned an 07 379 with 625 Cat, 03 WS with 12.7L pre-EGR 500 detroit, rented a Pete 386 for a winter with Paccar 485, another 07 Pete w 625 Cat, a 14 Pete 579 w 500 Paccar, now an 05 W900 w 565 ISX, and have been renting a 6 567SFFA w 500 Paccar/Ultrashift.

The nicest, easiest trucks tondrive are the new 567/579's w the Paccar's. My favorite I think is this new W9. The 379's were nice but the interior design of the Kenworth is worlds better, and the whole truck is classier in my opinion.

If I were to order a new truck today it would be a W900L glider with 72" flat top, NXS Acert 625 and an 18spd stick. I'm 6'6 and I can stand up in a KW flat top. Peterbilt, yeah, no, only if you're about 4' tall. My second choice would be a nice o/o spec long nose 567 with big cummins power.

The new Ultrashift is nice but still rather clunky and annoying at times. That, and an associated electrical problem will leave you immobilized.

Out of your choices I'd pick the aero KW. It's basically the same as my 579 but with cab mounted mirrows, which I'd have preferred. Much nicer inside than the others, in my opinion.
