Those look nice. I did an extensive amount of work on some 785-3's a few years ago. I like that set of stairs on these, that would have been nice.

Most trucks we pdi have the diagonal steps as standard the last few years. And most now have the bottom portion below the fender hydraulically operated to ankle height so you can just walk right up to the top with tools etc, very safe .

Yeah, i'm with MKL . They had a HD785-7 on demo for a week and run performance and comsumption tests and were impressed. So they ordered 6 to run and monitor with the view to further units.

Nice shots of a very cool truck! I think the 100 ton class of haul trucks are my favorite.:D
