    Might pull the trigger and buy a new one this year. Anyone have any experience with them. Most likely get the D13 as the Volvo Dealer in KC has been my new best friend for the last year or more. They have treated me well with all the issues I have gone through.

    I'm not sure if you are asking about any Volvo/D13 or just the 2020/2021. 21 models aren't even out yet, are they?

    I have heard nothing bad, or good really, about the newer common rail D13. I'd like to.

    My 2015 is still chugging away at 800k and hasn't given me much trouble at all.

    Currently in a 2012 with a D16 at 850,000. Runs pretty good.

    I think the 21 comes out here in a couple months. Seen a few different looks on the engine spec. I have a 2014 and have spent about 65K on it in 2 years. Of course it has a new engine rebuild now. Finally got it running good now. Replaced every sensor on the DEF system this year. Hate to get rid of it but the 670 isn't big enough inside for me when I take the pup out.

    Check out Provost Motorsports on youtube. He has a newer year with the I-shift & the turbo compounding option on the D13 and seems to be quite happy with it. Regularly pulls fairly heavy loads and I think he is averaging in the mid 9s.
