In Canada that tractor is fully capable of pulling super-b's(8 axles) at 140k but most owners turn them up to 505hp.Another Canadian driver and 86scotty Thank this. -
Yep, go have a dealer turn it up for you. What year? It cost me about a grand to have my 2015 D13 turned up from 425/1500 to 500/1750.

I do it with a 2012 VNL 64T780 500HP 2.64 rear ends, direct drive I-Shift.
68mph/1500 RPM.
110kpound fuel mileage is 6.5 miles/US gallon/year average, no mountains.
I could do 7 miles/US gallon average if I limit max speed to 60/mph 1300 RPM top.
I hope it helps you.beastr123 Thanks this. -
