From what I've been reading the 3 liter diesel in an IVECO is such an amazing beast it could pull the space shuttle fast enough for it achieve liftoff. All the while getting incredible fuel mileage. :RDayle1 wrote:RobertRyan wrote:
Rated to tow 30,000lb , yes if you want snails passing you.
Better to get a MDT Truck that can actually tow that amount
This is such a ridiculous statement as to discredit anything you have or will post, including the balance of this post. There are plenty of MINIMUM speed limits and no US manufacturer is going to claim a towing capacity that could not maintain normal highway speeds and do it safely and reliably.
Well would disagree with you. On the TFL website they were towing 30,000lb trailers up a 7 % Gradient and they were crawling. Minium speed was very slow indeed. Too suggest this is an acceptable speed maybe it is in the US but not here
