    Best MPG money can buy in a new truck. High MPG = Higher profit. The truck is one of the ugliest on the road, but, are you out there to make money or win a beauty contest. Even if there are other problems with the truck, it takes a lot of problems to make up for the fuel savings.

    A gimmick name to raise the cost. The dam bunk interior hasn't changed since 1993. Who still uses a tube TV?

    Almost the same as the 2013's. Only difference I seen was a few more plastic pieces around the cab fairings.

    The thing to remember about the Evolution is those 9-10 mpg numbers there talking about are from there testing while pulling there own aero designed trailer. The best I ever seen was 8.4 and that was pulling an empty box with skirts.

    down time do to break downs.lack of trained people to work on it. does not begin to make for for fuel savings. unless maybe you are a large carrier and can repower. that leaves the driver or o/o out of a pay ck.
