Came with the truck, mileage not too bad without DPF etc getting around 7.5 at 65 mph at a total of 47,250 lbs and 13 ft 4 in tall. I like the overall package and it runs about 1550 RPM at 65 too which is still in the powerband not above it.

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.
