    How could they have done that without hitting your truck?

    That sucks. There's dents on both of our wagons we didn't put there. I know where it came from the only shipper we have to drop the wagon at. They'll put it so close together you can't even crank up the gear without pulling it out of the spot:mad:

    Outstanding. I admire the pride you take in your equipment. I’m not even a Volvo guy and that’s a head turner.

    Thank you sir. I am really enjoying the first load right now. I have about 1000 on it so far and went through some nasty wind yesterday and most of today. MPG so far is 7.5 and going up since had decent weather at end of today. Goes through the wind really nice and not a lot of sway like the old truck.

    Truck pulls the trailer with ease, have 27K in box and it feels empty. Going up hills it will hold 12th the whole time and lose maybe 1 MPH and this is in Super Eco mode. It has switch down a gear a couple times since started driving. 500 HP with 2.79 feels perfect to me for my driving style and been crusing at 68 and sometimes 70. The ride itself has made a huge difference in my back. The old truck would tear my back up on 70 in IL and IN. Gonna love this truck for a long time. I really enjoy driving this machine.

    That sucks . The place I park is pretty tight but it has enough room not to make any stupid mistakes like the moron did to my trailer. I just don't understand how people are so stupid and can hit a trailer like this. If they would had hit the side of the trailer I would had been like ok I understand as it is tight. But to just hit the front corner makes no #### sense at all.
     
    Brettj3876 Thanks this.

    They are pretty nice to have. Makes it feel bigger inside as well when open them up.
