Best truck to buy ?
Of all the deliveries I made with different truck types I realised that some trucks turn the steering wheel faster at a turn than others, at 15 mph a Kenworth with a day cabin turns the steering wheel slower than a Kenworth without a day cabin.
I have $252.331, the money are not a problem at this moment, and the level can be easily done, but my first truck, I want to be perfect, and why is important to me to have a truck that takes a turn and not at 3 mph, because they accelerate very slowly, and neither 15mph is much, but it'll be easier to not disturb traffic.

25 mph* not 15 mph
And yes, there are some trucks in the game that takes turns more easily than others at 25 mph.

Or maybe it's not the truck, maybe it's the weight of the trailer that have an impact over the turns I make.

Cabins and chasis length all will effect your turning.
For which one and what setup works best, I don't know. I drive a T680 with the full cabin and have no problems with corners, but I am quite used to it.
AI traffic will always cause a problem no matter how well you take the corner.

People like the Kenworth W900 as it is the fastest. I personally prefer the T680. I feel it accelerates faster and much smoother than the W900. Being a little slower isn't a big deal especially if playing SP.
I haven't driven the Peterbilt 579 in a while, though I did start the game with that.(once the W900 came out, I switched to that as living in a Logging town, most trucks look like the W900 around here).

Thanks a lot for this reply.
I wanted to buy a Kenworth W900, because it gives you an american feeling, but I see that a Kenworth with a Duty Cabin drives better.
Also I would like to drive a Mack, but I don't really know when it comes out.

Is Mack out in the game ?

Also do I need to find the dealer ?

The W900 isn't that bad to me at least. I don't run the highest cab option because it looks awful to me. The 579 is really good truck, I like it more than the T680, mainly due to the digital speedometer option. Each to its own tho lol
