Big Rigs Talk about other Cummins powered vehicles here. As a matter of fact, it doesn't even have to be Cummins, but it will be diesel! :)

New tow rig

Well my Mega has become a real PIA to keep on the road and the idea of a "legal" place to sleep was something that I really needed so I picked this up. I know it still isn't the ideal truck but it was close to the ideal deal.

Sterling Acterra CAT, Allision, loaded.

That's VERY nice! I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at the difference.

That's a really nic rig.

If it was me I'd invest in a cow catcher for the front. It looks expensive to replace. Mine has saved me twice, danged forest rats...
