The way light duty trucks are going, this is a sneak peek at the 2030 group of trucks lmao

Love TFL series. Many great reviews of vehicles (like this Freightliner) that I would never own, but find very interesting and watch just for fun. Glad they review them.

I love these trucks! They are a fantastic option for those who can afford them and need a dedicated towing beast! Great review and showcase as always. I also love having a pickup truck bed for those trips to the hardware and feed store when not towing.

Oh my. Parts of me are getting excited. Especially when I saw that Cummins and those seats.

As a truck driver who is currently sitting in a Kenworth T680 with a 455hp/1850 ft-lb 13 liter MX series engine and a 16-speed Eaton Fuller Ultrashift Plus with 3.55 rear axles.. This is a damn nice truck too. I'd buy one if I had the cash.

For the cost it needs a better dashboard. I believe Navistar's started using the past generation GM truck dashboards and steering wheels with the push-button controls. Put a sunroof in. Make the map screen a whole lot bigger!

Manual regen switch ONLY works with the parking brake applied and sitting still. Usually takes 15-30 minutes. While you're rolling, the regen can happen automatically.

Well I would be happy with a $65K-$70K dually. Then I could save the extra $100K

Growing up we had a kodiak truck that towed our 37ft toy hauler to motocross races. Very roomy and very comfortable. This is league's above the kodiak.

I'd like to see it run up and down the Ike Gauntlet along with MPG numbers towing and not towing to see how it compares to a 1 ton dually in all aspects!!

"A lot of hot air on this truck" says Mr. Truck. Got a good chuckle from that comment. The tire balancers which supposedly add 25% or more life span to the tires was interesting.

It's cool that you guys are testing these big commercial trucks too 👍🏻

No comparison would be needed if people would stop expecting a Pickup to pull loads that truthfully require a Semi to handle.

9:08 is going to scare your lot lizard, during her escape!😁

That was fun!! Now I KNOW what I want to pull a large 5th Wheel TT with. I think I might like the air horn for those times when you want to say hi to the kid doing the 'cord pull' hand sign from the back seat of dad's truck. Thanks for a look at an exotic, for trucks!! Excellent.

Whats really cool is for 162k you get a key fob that unlocks your doors......🙄

Great review I need this thing!

We’ve got a Peterbilt 335 4 door all black. With the same flatbed. It’s a Cummins ISX that’s been deleted. We use it to pull our 49 ft horse trailer. We absolutely love it. We had bought a Freightliner exactly like that on but it couldn’t handle the trailer but it had a mersadies Benz engine.

Look at the price of an A class Tractor. It can be had for $160k, or less. Compare that to a $90k pickup, and you’ll see that pickups are overpriced.

you can get it cheaper by getting the same truck from freight liner and then get a bed for it

Cuz I try not to like you guys you always find something to pull me back in 😂🤣 😂😂😂💯

It is so funny how they compare this to a dually. Not really comparable, but great review non the less. Good job guys 👍🏼

Great review!

It would be really cool if they could coordinate the GPS unit with the Regen unit to enable automatic burn off prior to arriving at a steep grade.

Hey guys, all trucks with air brakes have two tanks. Primary and secondary. Everything on the truck runs off that system, seats to brakes. Love the channel

Chevy, GMC, International and Ford had these back in the 2000s...

Those seats are awesome! All I need is a Stetson a huge belt buckle and I'm set...ok mybe not my style but dang nice rig!

TFL >>> hey I love the way you use 'just' for the price when it's 165K+, it's very cute 🤣

I do agree if you're towing 30,000 plus this type of truck is much better suited to that kind of work, with the air brakes, jake and heavier commercial grade construction, but I think you could get the price down quite a bit. I've seen similar trucks in the $100k range.

Nice truck this will definitely handle the loads better than the new hd pickups because it's built for it. Just one issue it's rwd only needs a power steer axel

Will we see this big unit on the Ike with a full load?

I just bought a 2022 M2 106 from them, I pick it up 1/8/24 can’t wait to hook it up to my 45 ft LUXE 5th wheel, coming from my 2017 F-350 6.7 L diesel.

Yeah, the inside rearview mirror in my F-250 was missing when I recovered it, still haven’t replaced it and don’t really plan to.

Wow my boss is holding out! I had no idea freightliner made anything this nice 😍

Great review....loved it...CAn't afford it, but it really is a very cool truck...It would certainly be the one to have!

When will you test the new chevy silverado 1500 duramax?

WOW Can't believe it has a key fob and air seat that's like futuristic

“The key is over here on the left like all semi trucks”.... with a freight liner badge on it

So rich people can pretend to be super trucker 9000

I want to correct some things that Mr. Truck said. The dash regeneration button only enables the user to do a manual or stationary regeneration when the DPF is highly soot loaded. If you hit the button and that condition is untrue, it will do nothing. Also, there should be no reduction in performance when the regeneration is occurring while pulling on grade, although fuel economy could be different.

It's the other way around Andre. 1 ton luxury dually trucks will put this to shame in price, in basically everything.

interesting hauler.. could not think of a category for it. I just thought of maine seafood and little docks. Something special.

Ford back in the day had a econoline van conversion tow rig kinda like this.

Thanks Andre ... Thanks Mr Truck...its got limo interior

No freight shaker is worth 162,000$

Is there going to be a video of it going up the Ike?

Holy Smokes..... That is the Dopest truck .....

Can you guys do a toe test up the gauntlet at like 30,000 lb put it up against a Dodge in a Ford and a Chevy

Cool review. It's footprint does not seem that much more than a dually, and seems to even have a better turning radius.

Andre and Mr Truck are the best 😃

Still trying to figure out how you get 6 separate "air systems" from 2 air tanks. How many systems are left when you have with 2 empty air tanks?

Definitely got to get my self one

Had to change my earlier statement. This would be pretty cool for LTL, but only if they dropped the price quit a bit.

Work sucks. I'd love to buy one of these and a nice trailer and offer hauling services in my area - cars, boats, farm equip., etc. That'd be cooler than most other jobs IMO

Going to get one next year.

I would so use this for a daily pickup driver. I still need a rear view mirror though.

Sharp ride !

Kent and Andre, you did a *GREAT job with this video** !!! I just have one small complaint, the price. #tractortrailer #Frieghtliner #TheFastLaneTruck

The m2 with the Cummins and 6 speed Allison is no joke. We have a lot of them at ODFL and trust me they can take a beating. Axle rating is 20k on ours but a lot of the time we’re well over weight and pulls no problem. Only issue I have with the truck is the jake brake isn’t very powerful. Nonetheless it’s a great truck.

I was kinda hoping for an IKE test...

12:11 Sissy socks 😂😂. Thank you. I've always hated those things. Now I have a fitting name for 'em.

I wonder if this would be a good option truck for Hotshot trucking ???

I need this for my new 5thwheel.

I LOVE IT!

Or instead of going to an upfitter who is charging you extra for standard parts, you could get it from Freightliner, or KW or Pete or International for under 100K. Out new KW T370 single cab with a Cummins and an Alison and diff lock, was about $72ish and is rated for 59,000 pounds truck and trailer weight. This is just a 4 door version of the M2 Business class Freightliner and they are nice trucks, though the factory dash is nicer than whatever the upfitter did to this one.

How long between oil changes and does it have oil replenishment system?

CentraMatics are great. I only had them on the steers when I was an owner/operator & they helped give me more life from those $500 (each) tires. Although overpriced, that's a very nice truck. (Truckers call them "baby Freightliners".) Even a 1 ton pickup has its limitations. Sure, they can haul some weight, but can they stop in an emergency fully loaded? I've seen many jackknifed pickups cuz Jim Bob had to show how macho his truck was. I'd rather buy a used single axle class 8 with a mid roof sleeper for about a third what that thing costs.

I'd love this for my Hot Shot Vehicle. How does one get one? But 162k I can get a regular semi for that price with a sleeper. It is a cool truck

I MUST have that!

if your truck is a towing truck, and its regularly towing 20k+ lbs, THIS is the truck you should get, it will be a LOT more comfortable for you for those long hours and be a LOT more confidence inspiring with a heavy trailer like that behind it

Where is the radar cruise control and lane departure warning? The 2020 cascadia's are in where I work and they have radar cruise control with pre-collision braking and lane keep assist.

How effective are those wheel balancers? If they work well do they work on the 17 to 19.5 we see on 3500 to 5500 (350 to 550)?

Can the Freightliner be in 4WD or is just a 2WD and also ve with a 10 speed Allison transmition

$162k? Might as well spend another $20k on a Class 8 truck...

That is so cool.

Picked up a 15 year ol peterbuilt hauler with the 14l engine and 3.8m miles for 5500 all in from the auction last week. Ugly bright red on red but hey...

Cool rig

One VERY important area this truck lacks that no one else has mentioned..... 4X4, yes its only 2wd. Let me tell you they will get stuck on a fresh cow pie. We used to have one on these on the ranch in South Dakota. Yes, they are sweet and smooth as silk towing up and down the interstates. Not to mention this thing is twice as much $ as any 3500 dually on any lot!

The USB port is only 2.1 amp max. Most new phones require at least 3.1 amps to quick charge.

What up Freightliner! It is new of my wish list. I will buy you down the road used for transporting my cattles up in down the Nevada desert and go camping with a huge 5th wheel toy hauler. I will catch you down the road someday and hopefully half or one third of the original price.

That thing reminds me of the old Ford Centurions you could get back in the 80's. Except this ones been to the gym on all the steroids.

Nice truck for 2019

Has anybody tried to build a 2020 Lt trail boss I thought they were going to offer the 6.2 in it for this year

I found them on the Internet for half that price long as you know what you're looking for and know how to shop around

Thats a nice truck

He’s acting like all this stuff is new lol it has all been out for years

Found my new daily driver ;-)

I'm lost here, for what this cost you can get a class 8 road tractor. The dash is the same as a mid 2000's Columbia. Why not just buy a platinum f550 and have a more practical vehicle. And I hate the horn blowing just because I didn't pull the park brake before opening the door. I guess this is what a Dr buys for his wife to pull the wife's 2 horses.

Can’t wait till the Chevy 5500 comes out high country 😎🙌🏾

4:53 seconds in. Yes it is CDL territory IF used in commerce. You can buy it for private use and pull your own trailer WITHOUT a Commercial driver's license. If you are pulling your stuff and not in commerce, no cdl. Colorado you can drive with a standard license as long as it is registered as and rv and not commercial, even pulling your own trailer. Some states have a non-commercial class system for this set up but still not a cdl requirement.

Jo Andre, how about two dualies for one of your freightliner..☺ nice truck but Im not sold think Dualies are more practical✌

All that nice stuff and a nightmare to put a cb radio in.

Well, now I need to sell my house... 😆

Wonder why its the old model freighliner. Old dash front end kinda odd being a 2020?

nice vehicle👍

That is a beautiful 👍👍

Okay where's my 2003 GMC Topkick?

Now I dont know if I should get one of these and a 5th wheel or the diesel pusher motorhome.

To all writing me... Easiest answer it depends on your state, some have GVWR or even Foot regulation. I am from WI where we have Private versus Commercial, if it is not over 10k and used in the furtherness of a business including Farm than it is personal and exempt. Period. Little van versus Prevost, doesn’t matter, if not a business venture you are exempt no matter brakes or what you tow.

Nice truck, but $160k is pretty steep for a little single screw truck with only 350hp. I run a 4 axle fully optioned '19 Western Star 4964SB Heavy Haul tractor with an X15 650hp/2050 torque Cummins and 18 speed that didn't cost a whole lot more than that. Pretty nice and impressive in the parking lot, but not at all cheap.
