    Well of course there would be no plans for a MX15......IN EUROPE...but buddy....I am talking about the good ol USA here.

    Thanks for pointing that out BTW. It just shows that the thinking behind the new Paccar Power Plant Line is based on Euro thinking, NOT American thinking.

    And again, If you cant understand or apprecaite the difference between a 13 liter motor and a 15 liter motor, well I really dont want to get into it with you but I will

    Bigger is better.

    That is my answer.

    The DD15 has a 15 liter torque curve and a 13 liter MPG. Is that better ? Does that explain it for you? That is why you want a DD15 or a MX15, but like you said , you are not going to get it because it isnt in the plan. Kind of like getting used to a really hot, yet flat chested gal. Got to go with what you can get, right?

    LOL

    God I hope the rest of you get me here.

    I wouldn't agree with that statement.
    I think off the MX as a joint venture.
    There are features on the MX which show the USA influence.
    Paccar is now a worldplayer.


    When it comes to this subject................i would say that the most important is not the size but how much fun you can have playing with them.:yes2557:

    Don't forget that implants (which a lot off those bigger sizes have) also make for a loss off feeling in that region.
    But if bigger makes you feel better.............go for it!
    Enjoy!

    Sorry you should check your facts. I'm registered for 99,000lbs in 5 states and 107,000lbs in 1 state. Over 600 miles from one end to the other. I've even heard of guys loading over those limits. I want a 15L 550hp plus engine, to bad no one makes one anymore for the US market.

    Go with the DD15 bro. At least there are more service centers for Merceded/DD than Volvo.

    Or you could go fo the new player ................Mr DAF

    your choice..so give the MX fanboy some free customer insight and let him know how important service is on an engine YOU EXPECT to grenade.

    Cat sdp,the question was to Florida resident.(which Gunz444 is and he made the remark about us running light duty engines)
    Hence the 80 000lbs.
    I know that not all states are on that weight.
     
    Cat sdp Thanks this.

    Look dude.

    A 12.9 Liter motor is a light duty regional duty engine here in the USA. I don't care what you do with your engines or livestock over there.

    Here, a 12.9 Liter motor is a light duty regional motor. Dont try to dispute that with me cuz I just might get out some Euro literature which fleshes out this fact for you,

    Glad you make due over there with what you got. you guys deal with socialism and communism and radical Muslims running your once proud countries. good for you.

    Over here we still have about 4 months of real freedom and democracy left. After that, I will be calling you and asking you how do deal with a 12.9 liter motor!!
