While I agree that most posters are from other manufacturers, I dont see why the Crown guys are so defensive. I was not being negative towards the truck. If you read all of my thread, I did say the truck looks nice. I have been to a lot of dog and pony shows and watch how manufacturers tout the finest of their trucks. Most companies who purhase fleets see these presentations (usually demos with all the bells and whistles) and then purchase the plain jane version expecting the same performance level.
I simply pointed out some of the things I would look at if I were to look into purchasing this truck.
Now,
Can you Crown guys explain how you are going to get 3000 hours out of normal every day oil?
Oh, and one more question... Is the standard brake on the C5 the same (original) drum system Crown used that worked so well when it first came out? or is this a better version.
