The freightliners are not as nice, but with accessfreightliner and some tools a nine year old can fix them! Parts are as cheap as pickup truck parts. Volvo owners will have to see their shop most times, Freightliner owners 1/4 of that. Because you can fix them yourself! Mercedes engines are not as reliable as the series 60 and parts are expensive! My two cents! Curt

Brian,
Did this off topic as to not upset the "V" brand owners. The Volvo is the quietest, smoothest truck out there! But it comes with more than it's share of problems, electrical is the one most common! You should have a nice "truck fund" for parts and maintenance for them!They have many Volvo specific parts that will cost you a small fortune to repair or replace.

Campswithcritters,
I have to know? Was this a rear end ratio you wanted or it came with the truck you found? If you could have found a 3.55, 3.58, or 3.42 you would have better mpg. Not worth the $ to switch thou. But I think you would have gotten at least another mpg on average.
Just curious
