Ill give you my rough millage, 1000+ hp C15, 18 speed, 3.55s, 290"wb with huge trailer gab hauling HEAVY running west coast. Depends, when windy ill see 4mpg, on a decent day ill pull 6.3mpg tugging 80k lbs at 72mph turning 1500rpm and when i say heavy i mean HEAVY!
You can get 7mpg out of one, depends what you will pull, light stuff in a van or a skateboard? Sure, produce with late night chicken flights? Maybe if you stay under 65mph but then you aint no chicken haulerpanhandlepat Thanks this. -

You should see 6mpg, i say buy what you like and dont settle for them cheap plastic trucks, you will end up making money either way. If you couldnt make money with a large car and a CAT motor then 90% of the sweet large cars you see out there tugging a reefer coast to coast would be vulvas with 320hp.

Found a 387 for 31.5K w/ a C15 Cat 10spd. At the same dealer theres a Columbia with 464K on her for 31.5 with a C15. Finally, there a 01 Classic for 26.5 with a C15 13spd. I know as my friend almost bought a truck from that dealer and hes bought his Light Pink 379 you see in my album from there. Very nice to deal with and won't hassle you.
