Ahh its ugly! thats a big disappointment, the fenders are the worst part!

OMG...that thing is...well not pretty:throwup. I was going to say ugly but someone beat me to it. I'm not just saying that cause its a Cat product...I really think they tried too hard to make it look "tough" and totally missed the mark. I'd skip the Cat transmission and buy the real deal...Navistar.

The transmission is based on the one in the articulated trucks so it should be pretty good.

As for the truck, Kinda ugly at first, but like the new pick ups, it grows on you.

 

[Dozerboy]

I don't think its to bad looking it defiantly different.

 

[tracksfan]

i thought it would look more like an International with subtle Cat style mods. I can see the influence of cats ridgid frame haul trucks look.

I think it looks tough, It will be interesting to see if this new truck is tough and how it will be excepted by customers loyal to the other brands.

Did they get it right?

i cant recall ever seeing a CAT branded truck... When i think of tough i think old Mack... I think Kenworth builds some heavy duty units, but thats about it.

I read awhile back in a diesel power mag that cat was done makin on road truck engines.... guess they changed there mind

I was thinkin the same thing ...I think they are not building motors for North America ???

I understand that the engine in being made by International under license from Caterpillar for these trucks.

Ya, they are ugly. But, on the other hand most of the trucks built now are ugly. If it is going to look like a truck and be good lookin' go for a Peterbilt 359, Mack Superliner or Mack RB series. AS for tough and Mack in the same sentence that went to h--- in a hand cart when Volvo did their thing to the Mack line after they got their hands on it. I know of several people who bought Granites and hate or hated them until they got rid of them. Volvo also trashed the Mack engine line too. I have run Macks around here for over twenty years. Good thing I am not going to be buying any mroe trucks because I don't know what I would go for any more. Not impressed much with any of them.

it is kind of like an ugly kid.....you want to love it, but its ..........ugly!

I found it interesting that their "Heavy Haul'' display truck only had a C-13 and 6 speed Automatic?

 

[Revicm]

It is different looking. I wouldn't go so far as saying its ugly. Navistar has ugly all sewn up IMO. I will be sticking to my T-800's think.

there 15L wont be out till 2012 and they put their automatic in it because they want to sell their tranmission

Yeah, well, if it's got Navistar's engine, it'll be a dog from the get-go!
