    Need the tire size to go along with the gearing to know what rpm you will be at 65mph.

    Make sure there’s space for a cab rack behind the sleeper and the 5th wheel isn’t too far forward.

    Lastly 120 total gallons of fuel seems low. I’ve never had a truck with less than 240gallons.

    For flatbed will be not so good on fuel economy or will be pulling harder on hills?

    The transmission is an automated manual 12 speed.
    It is an overdrive unit. The rear differential gear ratio is usually one you would use for a non- overdrive unit.

    Suspect someone enterd the information wrong.

    Should work fine. A few things that you should get solid answers to first. If your looking at a purchase, a full inspection is required and one thing that should include is a full print out of the ECM. That will give the most accurate settings informational .

    Howdy, new to posting, I have a truck with that wheel base size and although it will work for flatbed. You will find that a longer wheel base is better, More room to adda tool box behind the cab, space for the load to overhang in the front,comes in handy for long loads like pipe or beams.
