az99 - Like most comparisons there are trade-offs. For me the Super C pros are;
- A massive engine and body structure in front of me instead of a short area of fiberglass
- Less worry about a flying stone hitting a huge windshield
- Several things are easier to reach while driving, i.e. sunvisor, things on the dash
- Like having the cab door for easier exit
- Seems more natural having the steer wheels out in front instead of under or slightly behind me
- The road seems wider since I am sitting closer to it
- The rig seems narrower since the cab portion is not as wide
(Those 2 characteristics lets my wife feel confident enough to drive it)
- Feel less concern over possible breakdowns since more truck repair places would welcome me
On the con side;
- The ride seems harsh compared to the air suspension
- The noise level is much greater than the DP
Those are the main things of concern relative to driving. Since I have made the commitment to a Super C, I am required (by my wife) to say I prefer driving it. :)
Thanx for that in depth comparison. What about the actual driving? Like passing trucks,wind,grooved road,bridge humps and side to side rolling?
