    A sales guy at KW was mentioning that to me the other day. His concern was resale after big fleets turn them in at say 300,000 & the top speed is limited to the 500,000 mileage(which was the number he specifically stated). He said they asked KW directly if they would be able to program that out when the fleets turn them in vs waiting for the mileage expiration & the answer was no. The blame was passed over to the EPA in the conversation.

    We got a 2014 T680 paccar mx13 13 speed. Full fairings. Pulling a curtain van with as close of a gap between the tractor and trailer as possible, trailer has nose cone as well. First few trips the truck has gotten 6.1...5.9 and 6.4....so far we're pretty pissed. Not impressed at all with the mpg. 5.9 we could #### near get with a long nose Pete..dealer said wait 6 months mpg will improve. Anyone know if the engine just breaks in or what the deal is?
