with a large wide single the back end of the truck feels too loose and gummy,
its a looks thing and you wont see it too oftin because its dangerious when hauling.

I had to drive one and it was not a pleasent feeling..

one of my 2 favorites are the Volvo (monster engines) and the Freightliner Conventional S/T's safest around IMHO..

Both very aero..
