Volvo VT880 Mid Roof - Loaded

Nobody can quite put their finger on it but whenever a company tries to bring something over from europe for the HD market it just doesn't last.

There is Volvo's engine.
There is Mercedes' first American engine.
KW tried to use ZF transmissions for a while.
and the list goes on...

It sounds like Europe puts equipment though its paces but you bring it over here and it just breaks. Maybe we just break ####.

 

europe version doesnt have egr,dpf ,vgt and other emission crap
also injection pressure is lower

 

also volvo gearboxes, man maxxforce and engines in the International

 

If you are going to get a Volvo, get one with a Cummins engine. The EGR costs 2x less than the Volvo. Cummins also has a more dealerships compared to Volvo. Ask Sandlapper what he thinks about his Volvo engine.

Volvo makes a great marine engine but not a good truck engine in the US (they do not have the dpf crap). It is very unfortunate that this has to be the case as I have found Volvo marine engines to be reliable.

I looked at a couple of 880's at Arrow in Atlanta today. An 06 with D16, APU and 485K miles for $57,900 and an 07 with D16 and 460K miles for $66,900. Nice trucks.They offered me "somewhere in the teens" for my 05 Pete 379 that's pretty loaded up...... not.

 

Typical. They want premium price for the Volvo and they want to steal your Pete.

 

eckz-- Would you be interested in a 2006 WesternStar 300,000 miles. 515 series 60 Detroit. Probably let it go for $60,000.00 270 wheel base 61 in. single bunk sleeper. WELL MAINTAINED Nothing overlooked since new

 

verry nice
