Re: Post your tow vehicle pics here
rowekmr, The Volvo is registered in Montana as a MH so has to have a 'frige, microwave and porta-pottie in back. That allows an AZ driver to avoid having a CDL and stopping at weight stations, log book, etc. This was not a big deal and there is lots of info out there about how to get it done. This particular truck has had the front tandem axel removed and the rear moved forward but that was only to reduce the number of tires on the ground and is not absolutely necessary. "T-Ruk" has 375/425hp (425 when in cruise to encourage its use for fuel mileage) and 1550ft torque. The trans is a Super 10 which has two gears in each position. I had never driven anything like that before but a couple of hours and I was float shifting like a pro - well, almost. We get 9.0 - 9.5 bobtailing and 8.5 average towing our 39' toy hauler. If you would like more info, check here: (Well, I was going to give you the Escapees forum url FOR hdt'S BUT DON'T KNOW HOW TO MAKE IT CLICKABLE http://escapees.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/frm/f/353102588 ) These guys are very knowledgable and willing to help with or share that knowledge.508Views0likes0Comments
