    Yes, they do. This truck has the Single Reduction 13 tonne SR1360 axles, the Hub Reduction 16 tonne HR1670 is also available.
    Since last April there is a 120 tonne version of the FTM, and this seems to be such a truck.

    Yes, you do. For some reason the web site did not respond correctly, so it looked like the message was not received.

    Yep, have an Ultrashift Plus in the shop that the telematic GPS device shorted out and bricked the transmission ECU. I am positive I could beat the truck in a foot race since it won't even start!

    I think it all depends on what you want to see.

    The acceleration in the gears is very similar. Whenever the manual shifts, the auto can catch up and pull ahead, whenever the auto changes gears, the manual catches up and pulls ahead..

    At 45mph everything is the same:

    At 60 mph everything is still very much the same, but the manual makes a shift and the auto can pull ahead, to shift at 64 mph, and allowing to manual to catch up again.

    This is the 60mph point and manual is making the shift, loosing a few mph:

    Are you sure?
