Here's the rundown.
Acceleration: 6/10
Acceleration is decent considering the size, 0-60 comes in at "yes"
Braking: 9/10
The brakes have two sections of pedal travel. The first mm or so is a gentle suggestion of lower speed. The next mm and the foot after that is heimlich maneuver, emergency halt, stop-this-train-i-need-to-get-off powerful.
Cornering: 3/10
It can turn corners, if you're careful.
Ride: 8/10
Why doesn't every car have pneumatic springy seats? This is off the fucking chain.
Gadgets: 7/10
Playing with big diesels is fun, and you get air brakes to make all sorts of fwooshes and hisses. Lift gate in the back is great for lifting rolled up rugs, or crushing the legs of Paulie Two-Toes after he tries to cheat you. Stereo has an aux-in port, which is nice.
Fun factor: 8/10
This is probably the closest thing to driving a semi that you can do without a CDL. you will feel unstoppable, and the urge to crush the puny smart cars will be strong.

"Braking: 9/10"
Which, in a vehicle this massive, is the most important thing.

Total 11/10, would honk horn obnoxiously to command smaller/inferior vehicles to get out of my way.

Same thing I be wonderin'. All the big trucks I have driven (Ryder and U-Haul rentals) have had hydraulic brakes.

Yeah. I have only driven the smaller cubes never the 24ft.
Mind you trying to back up a cube van, 300ft, down a one way street with cars parked on both sides, because you came across a double parked BMW which you couldn't get by felt plenty hard enough.
Thank god a kind Samaritan spotted me. Otherwise I might have been there forever.

In Wisconsin, airbrakes require a CDL.
