They’re not gonna sell near as many of these as they did the 379 and 389. Drivers who buy this type of truck do so because they want the feel of an old style truck. They have the modern 579. Why did they mix this with old/new features. Looks like something from Johnny cash song One piece at a time. Why did you discontinue a truck that was so popular to the O/O drivers. I’m a 379 owner and like many comments I agree with saying I’m hanging on to my old Pete if this is new long hood

Looking forward to seeing these trucks hit the road.
