    Doing a build on a 2020 New Cascadia.

    Was wondering if anyone in here is tracking their numbers on a DD13 in long haul or regional applications. I run dry van, but numbers from any area would help.

    My gut is telling me I can do better in terms of MPG with the DD13 over the DD15, but some real world stats would be helpful.

    How many HP for the DD13? I know in this environment it may take many months for that truck build to arrive.

    400HP, 1750 Torque with either the DD13 or the DD15. Going with the Intelligent powertrain option, so either engine will have the same HP and Torque specs.

    I run a DD15 on a new KW T680 and a new reefer. Fully loaded I average around 8mpg on flat roads and empty I get close to 11mpg. Pulling hills loaded I'm getting more like 5mpg.

    Quite unlikely that statement.

    The DD15 is limited to DTNA built units by Freightliner and Western Star.

    In a Kenworth, you either have a Paccar MX 13 or a Cummins X15.
