As big of a POS that it is, yes I'm sure that's spot on. To compare, I averaged 7.4 with a Detroit powered Volvo midroof tractor pulling a 7 car with often heavy and tall loads.
Dually w/3-4 wedge, Medium duty w/ 4-5 car or semi w/7-10? Please help

What Terry said. A F'Liner M2 or a nice Volvo pulling a Sun Country 5 car should do better then 8. I was at 9.1 and I hauled a lot of flat deck heavy stuff 50% of the time. JMHO
Terry270 Thanks this. -
what are the odds .... was just viewing a thread on another forum talking about how the volvos with the dd15 are giant pos's !!! ... i don't care either way but it just goes to show everyone's experiences are different. 7 mpg would be fine with me though.

i apologize ... the thread was relating to the d13 engine (post from 2011 & not sure what the displacement of that engine is) .... but as stated, all will have their own preferences/experiences with any/all engines/transmissions/brands. i'm sure i'd fend just fine with any class 8 single axle + good maintenance & a good mechanic.

... that being said, i was also looking at the freightliner m2 106's, 2006-2009'ish
