CAT CT660 Truck

Scottrucks · Apr 24, 2011

OK, so who of you out there know anything about the truck CAT is offerering and might be willing to share here?
It is called the "CT660" and you check it out at Cat CT660 - the Class 8 Vocational Truck from Caterpillar.

Pretty heavy duty looking rig, talks about float service and uses like dump trucks and cement mixers and the like.

Just wondering??

Cat shows its first truck

The best thing about a CAT engine. "They don't make them anymore"

Partial quote from Caterpillar

"Our design and manufacturing has been ... jointly developed between Cat and Navistar using the Cat C15 block and crank."

I will not admit that I am quite fond of Cat engines , untill you have buy parts or work on them.

Caterpillar is not a reputable company. They will disallow legitimate extended warranty claims rather than stand up to their obligation and responsibility. I would not buy anything Caterpillar branded nor would I buy another truck with a Cat engine whether new or used.

OMG Leo, you only had a couple Cat powered machines. Wait a while till you've had quite a few Contractors and Drivers..........then, git on the spewing ledge.

BTW, never owned a Cat powered machine myself.

I have one CAT engined truck and that is sufficient to learn CAT is not a company to be trusted and should be avoided at all times. I don't need to be stung more than once to know to avoid wasps. I've had teams as well and know they span the gamut.

Here's the thread on the engine. http://www.expeditersonline.com/forum/truck-talk/41485-caterpillar-claims-c9-unsuitable-task.html
