To each their own.
That being said I could not compare the superior fuel economy, maneuverability, noise level of say 2014 Volvo I shift
with any of your old school favorites no mater how many nostalgic memories and feelings they bring.
Time marches forward, you will drive what you like but you can't disregard the whole class of newer better money makers just because some of them have glitches which all new things tend to have.
I still drive an older, 2007 pre def truck myself, so I am not saying everyone should have brand new equipment. Still if the best economy you can hope for is 7 mpg and drivers in todays age routinely get 9 maybe there is some cash left on the table sacrificed for the sake of driving with style which is also a matter of taste and not a given -
Please tell me how to get 7 mpg pulling a cattle pott.
exhausted379 Thanks this. -
I was thinking the same thing. Or pulling a hopper or end dump at 85 to 90k.
TwinStickPeterbilt and wore out Thank this.
