Waiting on New Trucks thread.

Mine is right on the spot most times. Over life so far it is within 2/10's.

 

When I was shopping for a Truck in 2000. I debated buying a Century instead of a Classic. They were about $5k/$10k cheaper for 1-2 yr old Trucks. I called Werner. Got their averages for Century’s vs. Classics. .05 difference

 

Back to waiting on new trucks, two of mine that had a build date middle/end of May are at the transporters now.

 

Like speed and breaking distance is affected by weight, Speed and fuel economy is affected by wind drag. It’s progressive. Slowing down in a non aero Truck will result in a higher % mpg increase than in an aero Truck. Aero Truck still beats it. Likewise an aero Truck will suffer less mpg loss at higher speeds than a non aero. Percentage wise. They both will suffer loss at higher speeds due to wind drag. Resistance decides the amount.

 

When did you order those?

 

August/September last year.

 

Volvo?

 

Freightliner. Waiting to see if they'll both make it across the border and not get impounded this time.

 

You do the whole 455/12 speed/ 2.XX deal ?
