Now that we've been behind the wheel of Motor Coach Industries' new J4500 motor coach, we've put together a preliminary driving impression for you...
Our best description of driving this house on wheels falls somewhere between a giant minivan and an overloaded FL80 Freightliner. Although, at more than 45-feet long, we have to admit it's the longest single vehicle we've ever piloted—and its length is most obvious when you need to make a lane-change in traffic. But while the J4500 is big, it's much more nimble than it looks.
As pickup enthusiasts, we're obviously in no position to make an authoritative statement regarding touring coaches. But having said that, the J4500 rides like a Cadillac, and the entire vehicle reeks of refinement and quality engineering. You'll see exactly what we mean in the April, 2013 issue. Make sure you pick up a copy on February 26th.
