I've actually driven a few of those, but with 5th wheel hauler beds. They are actually very comfy to drive, with air suspension and air seats.
Buying a new one requires a special kind of stupid or twisted status symbol, as the FET is outrageous on new, big trucks. (Federal Excise Tax is 15-18%, and those start at 158K and up)

Maybe things have changed, but back in 2008 when I was looking at them, they were considered a commercial use purchase.
If you go into a Volvo, Freightliner or Peterbuilt dealer and try to purchase a brand new class 7-9 truck, you are looking at FET taxes There used to be over 40 Sportchassis dealers in the USA. Maybe were shut down buy the Feds for not collecting FET when new sales were made. I think there are about a dozen dealers left today

1. 1930s Bugatti: 2. This Auburn was my favorite car of the show: 3. Competing Blues from Chrysler and Chevrolet and a reminder of the 1970s: 4. an amazing Delage hood ornament: 5. and a couple of Ferraris: the 308 was out in the car club area.

I wanted one of those so badly when they came out!
Wikipedia isn't so kind though. Quote:

I had f40 posters on my wall as a kid too. The below pic could easily be a self portrait of a 10yr old me...
