Not quite apples to apples but on the engine Prevost is using Volvo D13 engines. I have a '13 Mack Pinnacle road tractor with the MP-8 engine which is the same Volvo D13 engine with a few software changes for Mack but identical mechanically. I also am running a 12 automated manual vs a 6sp auto in the Prevost so that might change things a little performance wise. Mine is the 505hp/1750tq and with a gross of 60k it will walk up any hill with no problems holding speed. The low end tq and quietness of the engine are wonderful. DEF usage is very low. I think you'll be very impressed with the engine. Also unless I missed it, it wasn't till 13.5k before I saw my first regen which lasted about 20 minutes. Overall a very nice engine.
