Schneider finance truck specs

1st of all if you're looking at leasing a truck due to how fast it will go..you're looking at things all wrong.
When you pay for your own fuel..speed goes out the window.
I usually cruise around 67 MPH to stay a head of the governed crowd.
Not saying I don't sprint every once in awhile..let's just say I can run with ANY truck out there.

As for being 6'3''..You will have plenty of room in either truck.
IMO the T680 is laid out a bit better than the 579..I love the swing out table.
Storage is a bit limited but that's it for complaints.

 

I say get the 579 to be different.

 

I only drive 55 so I can make a check.

 

I run between 65 to 70 depending, Sometimes ill kick it up if need be. Truck gets between 7-8 MPG at 65 depending on if I have a head wind and slightly less then that at 70, She will keep with pretty much any truck on the road until I hit the RPM gov.

 

ALL mega trucks are going to be spec and geared for MAX fuel mileage. If they can squeeze 0.2mpg out of a truck they will cut whatever corners they have to do it. Mine when I bought it was cut back to 280HP and a MAX of 50% engine load allowed at any one time. Took me 20 min inside of Insite to revert everything back to factory settings I lost 0.1 to 0.2 MPG and gained a crap ton of HP/Torque back. Instead of pulling a 7% grade at 20MPH it now climbs between 45-50 if I get on her.

 

I'm lucky to get 5.5 mpg.

 

Wow, Ten how many miles on her ? Im running a 2011 Int Prostar with a Cummins 500 in it.

 

I have the 579. As far as pulling hills and gearing this thing is a beast. The final gear split is actually quite a jump from the rest but you can literally keep an easy steady pace climbing mountains until you run into 2 snails trying to pass each other. As far as the midroof goes it's actually about a foot taller inside than a typical midroof, however, I'm 6'1" and i learned quickly to slighty duck going between the bunk and the cab lol. The bed is massive for a standard truck. I don't think you would really have a height issue in the 579. You'd feel a lot less restricted height wise in a 680 as far as walking around inside but once you're stationary you would'nt have a problem with the 579. BTW both trucks are double bunk....however the 579 top bunk folds in half and creates an awesome shelf across the entire back of the bunk. Storage space is plentiful in these. Can't speak for the 680.
