    I got news for you. NONE of the trucks your looking at are going to get 8 MPG. So take that $1000 a month you think your saving and buy the better truck.

    You are not going to get 8 mph. That takes a very specific truck, driver and owner pulling a box.

    Not some random used 15liter truck pulling a flatbed.

    Don’t forget Facebook. I don’t have it but my wife shows me semis she comes across on there. Sometimes they look like sweethearts.

    4.56 the rear gear ratio? I am assuming it is. Other then the horse power, this truck sounds like it was set up for heavy haul. You will be turning some high rpms at highway speed.
