i dont know, ive owned 2 older kw's [ 1 was a 79 the other was a 87] and both were good trucks, reliability is dependent on how the thing is taken care of, the only time one left me walking was when i twisted the driveshaft out of it, pulling a 13 % grade from a dead stop, with a full leagle load, halfway up, the rear u-joint on the front shaft had had enough, when i went to driving for other people i was assigned 3 different petes,as time went on, 1 new at the time, and 2 older tractors, the new one was always in the shop with some computer issue, the older ones never missed a beat,i enjoyed the old ones much more, the only truck i considered to have a rough ride was a heavy haul western star, but that one had a front axle rated for 20,000 lbs with super singles, and rears rated for 70,000 on 14;00 24's . it had springs but just for looks lol, just the front axle spring packs were more then a foot thick . liked the truck anyway, the front bumper was waist high, it was road leagle width wise' depending on where you measured the truck,if you measired the bumper it was ok, if you used the wide part of the tires it was 8'10 inches .started out with a r model mack with 2 sticks, rough yes, but these were trucks, not cars, and it was 20 years old when i got put in it , it was still running when i bought my first kenworth , and put it to work for the same company that owned the mack
