It has so much torque but not much top speed IMHO. ... When I started for the first time and heard the engine I thought exhaust muffler was off. .
I feel I am not going to RVing but rather joining to a drag race every time I hit the ignition switch!
On a 19ft (20' overall) C class it gives me only 10mpg if I am lucky.
Sounds awesome!
It should have ALOT of torque in a lightweight vehicle such as yours.
Curious what you mean by not much top end. What gears do you have?
Even deep gears should still cruise very comfortably at WELL OVER freeway speed limits. What rpms in 10th gear at 70-80-90mph?
10mpg doesn't sound "bad" what kind of speeds? Cruising at 60-65, I'd expect more. 75-80mph 10 sounds about right.
