Decision: Kenworth T800 or the Kenworth T660?

Hello

I am the owner in a trucking company in my country ( Colombia ), right now Im willing to buy 2 new trucks wich will be carring oil from the oil wells to the Maritime Port, but i have to decide if I go with the Kenworth T800 or the Kenworth T660, We have some conditions that you wont find in USA

1. 250 milles with bad roads
2. Petroleum to expensive ( aproximetly usd$ 5.00 per gallon )
3. Truckers cant sleep inside the trucks.
4. most of the times the roads are mountains

according to this I dont mind if the truck comes with bed or not, but it is very very important the fuel consumption, does any one have a comparative betwen MPG on those 2 trucks. Also as it will go on mountains it is very important the engine performance.

Thanks in advance

PD Please remember english is not my native english so probably i will have spelling errors.

 

Well its long to explain but to summarize:

Colombian customs charge lost of money for importation charges, I recently bought a truck in the USA, I paid 97.000 usd for the truck and 52.000 usd for importation Taxes, for that reason we do not import luxuries trucks or the cost will be higher. So most of the trucks don’t have beds as you have in the USA, if we allowed the drivers to sleep on the truck they won’t have the rest they need for the work.

So yes it’s a Law we have on the constitution.

 

I have heard that T660 has a better MPG due to its aerodynamics, does anyone has any information on this?

 

We can not import used vehicles.
