When you sit in the drivers seat it feels differant. alot of room in the cab and very comfortable. Can't wait to get out on the road on Friday.
Thanks
Tom

As always the truck looks stunning,I bet it caused a few headscratches,with folks trying to 'suss' out what was different looking about it! Isn't it great driving your truck to it's first show!
