    I liked the one I drove a few years ago. 12 speed auto was nice.

    I’m a bit jealous.
    I miss my Volvo.

    Enjoy the ride.

    20 years ago your truck made a much bigger difference
    Today not so much with the exception of the few hoods that are still being made

    They all look the same
    They all break down about the same
    Only thing I can really see as a factor when buying one would be

    Fit and finish but I assume my Pete rattles the same as all the rest

    Service shop locations

    Customer service from brand

    And resale

    But I also think the above are a lot closer than was the case years ago

    Should be a great ride. How heavy are you pulling?

    Most of our loads are light. Max about 25,000. Not uncommon to pull loads in the teens. Couple of customers are like 6500 lb.
    Occasionally, we do haul a 43,000 lb load but not often. Twice a month or so. (we are mostly day trips)

    You will like the extra torque they upgraded to last 4 years also if it does come with premium shifter you have to down shift on hills manually being that the auto will kill the truck and make it extremely lazy on hills besides that not as complicated as the other trucks out there for a change.
     
    BennysPennys, Pamela1990 and Grumppy Thank this.

    Volvo/Mack is the best engine-trans on the market right now, especially with the 13 or 14 speed crawler gears for heavy loads, gives a deeper reduction than anything else.

    Good control layout and steering wheel controls. Good dash.

    Volvo needs to improve their sleeper interiors, they are not even close to as nice as the premium Paccar sleepers or even as nice as the Mack sleeper.

    Also not as much cab insulation as the Arctic packaged Paccars.

    Made this pic at an airport in Eastern Europe few months ago. It's crazy how big Adidas is over there
