    Might be ok on the flat but I doubt a guy would get that kind of weight rolling easily from a dead stop on a grade. Usually all the bush spec stuff back home in the mountains runs 500-560hp with 4.10's or 4.33's and an 18 speed. Fuel economy don't mean anything running off highway. 7-8 axles fully loaded means most guys rarely see anything better than 5 mpg.
