This won't help much, but we just bought a 2014 Volvo 730 XE package to haul super b. It's at gforce getting rigged up right now, the Xe package is messed right up with specs unheard of. Should be fun, I can let you know how it goes bit I will obviously have no issues for a while... I do know that the d16 turbo and injector cup issues have been rectified, the emissions is ahead of the rest and their ishift is the beSt autoshift.
You can't really beat a western star for ruggedness and the Detroit's are doing great but we picked Volvo because I enjoy my back not breaking and the star rode like a tank.

Peterbilt is made by Mexican precision(What is Crap), Volvo is made with a nice touch from the Swedish Bikini Team(What is Sweet)
-
Some Petes are built at Denton, Texas.

I know when I had my Volvo I got screwed and it wasn't by no Swedish bikini team.TexasTailTwister Thanks this.
-
Peterbilt has a lot of Mexican parts,Texas=Mexas, and even from Hungary(axles) I drove a 2012 and a 1991 pb, but the 91 was much better quality! Just my own opinion! A Swedish Bikini rides nice
-
The scary part for you will be the bill Troy or Greg give you for your rig up! LOL!
-
That's where my truck was born. I think some Mexicans might have snuck across the border and worked on my truck.
-
I would really like to know how it works out for you! I'd like to also know how the dealer treats you for the inevitable hiccups.
I know as we all age - those nice comfy rides become more and more important!
LOL! -
I just don't know if I could make the switch to an automatic. 1 step at a time for me!

Saskatoon Volvo has a perfect infield Truck in their showroom right now, has a 63" bunk which was too small for me but it is the ishift.
