Onyx610 Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 (edited) Good thing it’s not a manual transmission for the guy In the middle 😏Are you the owner of this company or just a disgruntled employee that has to drive these shitboxes? Maybe a Volvo would be better? Edited December 3, 2022 by Onyx610 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeH Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 I'd redesign it to look.an awful lot like this: Of course it'd have to have a high pressure common rail fuel system or something modern like, and some emissions BS but I think a lot of us would hop on board with this "redesign".... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rubber Duck 006 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 If that's a Granite I didn't particularly care for the ride of those things. I rode in a brand spankin' new one back in 07. I believe they had just introduced them. Ours was a roll-off truck and it rode like a log wagon and that first winter it didn't want to start even after being plugged in all-night.

I've got a 1:32 Scale first gear Die-cast Replica of the same kinda truck. I remember that first winter they had it. My supervisor stole the plug in cord off my L8000 garbage truck because it was more important that the Granite be plugged in than my hunk of junk. They tried for over an hour to git that sucker started hahahaha while my L8000 started right up after a few revolutions of the engine 😅 🤣 😂. They had to drag the new Granite into the shop,plugged it back in, and put a Salamander heater under it hahahaha later on it finally started. Yeah I wasn't really impressed with it especially after riding in it and even after putting meatier tires on it and locking the diff in it still couldn't git off the landfill face under it's own power while dumping a roll off box.

The 2006 CTs were Granites. They were the first ones with the fender flares into the headlights and a set back axle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as trucks go to me it was a hunk of junk as a roll off truck and didn't impress me at all. My 1991 Ford L8000 out worked that hunk any day in my opinion. The one we had didn't have the fender flares like that. Edited December 5, 2022 by The Rubber Duck 006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark T Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 I had a 2006 CT. I bought it new and in 6 years, it was cut up and exported. I can say without a doubt it was the worst truck I ever owned . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx610 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 I see alot of CT roll off trucks. Must have been for that set back axle for the tighter turning radius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
