Well then you're just going to have to deal with the draw-backs. Personally, I think it has a slow accelaration, and a lower than usual top speed. Looking good just don't cut it for me if performance is poor.

yeah im with you I love the Atlas but IMHO the Phantom is the best looking but I looked and 475 is the top engine I can find for the Atlas

anybody know if the engine brake is available for the WS4900 ex i have been to about all the repair shops from orland all the way to LA and still no sign of it...

Pretty sure that every truck has that option it may take a while to get one but I have gotten them for all my trucks that I have had

Well, it appears, there are differences between all trucks indeed.

For one of my Drivers, I tried to tune up the Sterling 9400 to the max.
One thing I realised, I will have no chance to get an 600 HP Engine for that beast

That will mean, there are 2 cathegories all trucks are sorted to:
Racers
Freighters

I have looked into the Truck Store interface, no Sterling 9400 typ available with 600 HP ^^

Fazit:
Sterling 9400 = Freighter
Argosy (600 HP) = Racer

With that knowledge, it should be more easy for us to give the right Truck to the specific Type of Driver.

Also it can save alot of money from beginning.
The Sterling in good conditions is very cheap ~60.000 to 80.000 Dollar
The Argosy in good conditions is a bit more expensive, but still a cheap Racer.

If I'm wrong, forget my theory
Cheers

All of this is random. Even the most expensive trucks have add-ons, and upgrades that you can purchase at the repair/equipment shop.
