    I have a 2014 kw with a Paccar engine. 7 to 8 mpg out of the box. Great running truck, than winter and 30 below hit. I don't know if I would buy it again, it just does not seam to like the colt temps. Had 3 break downs this winter. Last time it broke down in Regina and they changed the def pump and harnes. Now it seams ok. RememberI said 7 to 8mpg out of the box, well I'm only getting 5.5 to 6.5 mpg in the winter. I got 7 mpg with my cummings engine and no brake downs in 2 years. If I would not need it to run Cali, I would go for a Western Star and put in a glider.

    Put a good winter front on and bundle it up.
    My 14 T800 with 550 cummins has the winter front 75 percent closed up after -15 degrees. Runs alot better I find. Havent had any def issues though. *knock on wood*
