RT being a retired service "know it all" should have be able to fix his truck

I'll let the person announce what they got. No spilling the beans from me.

The problem with him and a MDT, is getting it into a wash and having a little ole Jeep pull him out.

But he may not go back to Q in his truck again with friends around.

He did get a nice LGT.

Hey Rick, you'll love the Volvo. This past yr I purchased a '13 Mack for my business. Mack is a division of Volvo and runs the same engine and tranny with a few tweeks. I don't have that higher gear ratio option but this thing really likes to keep the rpm's low. Also the 12speed automated manual is just so nice. Shifting is sooooo smooth and it loves to shift through the gears fast. I would love to use it to pull my fifth wheel if I didn't have to use it in my business. On mine I spec'ed the high output 505hp on the 13L which isn't too horrible on fuel. You could probably do just fine with the 445hp with the weight your pulling. My flatbed trailer empty probably weighs about the same as your WC so it will definitely not know its back there. That will be one awesome setup.
