    I took a Volvo 13 auto. Just to test the jake. Hit it hard on steep hill. That thing went to 2900 rpm to hit that brake hard. I was impressed.
     
    Cattleman84, Dave_in_AZ and D.Tibbitt Thank this.

    I know my “butte” would look good in that seat. :) :biggrin_25523:

    Dave deserves a new truck. He’s earned it.

    And I love my Cascadia. No way I’d want to shoulder the payments/insurance on a new truck. No matter how much I like the Volvos it just doesn’t make sense financially for my level of experience etc... Life is easier with smaller payment.

    They have Mack's too. I actually like the look especially in black.

    That does not look like Flounder. It has a remarkable likeness to a cinnamon roll.

    That certainly looks fine. :)

    Only problem with the needlenose Petes is you’re a bit limited in engine size IIRC
