This topic has come up many times before here. It has been overwhelmingly agreed on by anyone who has done it, including myself, that the class 8 tractor based units are far superior to class 7's such as the FL70. The FL70 expediters are city trucks that are being put on the highway. A class 8 is much more powerful, quiet, comfortable, and reliable, not to mention will have some resale to it when you are done with it. Dollar to dollar and mile to mile the class 8 trucks are a better investment. After running an FL70 for four years prior to my Columbia, I have to say it is so nice to have a REAL truck now!
