I enjoyed them .I appreciate itGood to see the point of view from the others, sorry you are in a POS F-liner COE. RickThanks.....It's a comfortable truck to drive, but it has no pulling power whatsoever. I always thought a 60 series detroit would do pretty good, but this thing is pathetic.

Green Dash Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Nice pics and congratulations are getting your class A!Nice Suburban. Sounds like you might need it as a daily driver before long, At the very least your gonna need a bigger avatar pic.I don't know how you feel about driving COE but keep in mind, COE's are a part of trucking history and you'll be able to say you survived drove one. 1 Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always tell Candice it's a broke man's Cadillac..lol. I really like driving the cabover to be honest about it, they are putting me in the '96 white gmc COE for awhile so then maybe I can feel old school....The funniest thing about the cabover was when i was backing in at the dealer I kept looking out around the truck trying to make sure I wasn't brushing the fender against anything.....then i realized i am an idiot 3 Quote This message was brought to you by Hargraves Potted Meat Product.

Terry T Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Is that an 11.1 or 12.7 S60? The 12.7's that I have driven would pull stumps and still get good mileage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the pics, everyone enjoys pics!!!Remember driving a cabover means you are the FIRST one to an accident LOL!!You are correct but you sit higher in a cabover so chances are the "accident" will be "under" you. That is unless you hit a wall. Quote Ken PRR Country and Charter member of the "Mack Pack" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTFormula Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Congrats on getting your A! I dig cabovers, great turning radius. Are you just hauling boats or that was just that days load?

NoClueJoe66 Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 Other then being a cab over how do you like that Argosy? it's a very comfortable truck to drive, pretty roomy with the flat floor..kinda like your in a short bunk hood, and I can stand up between the seats and just barely touch the ceiling. For a single driver it is comfortable Quote This message was brought to you by Hargraves Potted Meat Product.
