Steve, Way to cool but not to sure you won't have to chain up to get out of those campgrounds that have gravel roads after a rain...LOL

2050 Lb ft. torque @ 1200 RPM. Drove one when I was a test dummy at Bosch Proving ground near South Bend, IN. Had no trouble moving the 120,000 test trailers we were pulling.

Hah a beauty! I often run down the road with this pair...(Brother-in-law). Course when we hit the hills his Cat 7.3L can't keep up with my little puppy. BTW, our last trip out he developed an air leak to his pac-brake, ya know what happens to his truck when air press drops? Bells, whistles, and the brakes come on!!! We performed rootgoldberg fix along I84 to get to campground. All is good now, but moral of the story is when ya buy the big boy, ya gotta deal with the bigger problems!

This is true and the bigger problems are way bigger $$$$$$. But, It would still be nice to see his and her Tanas, behind a rig like that. Yeehaa!!

The sleeper behind it looks like it could be cozy. Probably has a microwave, refrigerator.
Sue talked to a lady that has a sewing area in their rig, she has her machine set up in there as well. She said her hubby grumbles when she need to get supplies in town, he has to drive the rig around in town looking for a fabric store.

Thats and important point SMC, when we go out and jump in the Freightliner for a trip to the store or for groceries its a long hike across the parking lot. In many cases we have to go somewhere else cause there just isn't enough room to park it. When booking campgrounds the comment always is "are you sure there's room for this 20ft TV and the 36ft RV?! One other comment is I'm the one making the call on the CB saying gotta stop for diesel (my range is about 150 miles) but when he fills up that 100 gallon bill is scary looking! BTW his mileage is like 6 - 7 mpg while I'm sitting pretty at 11 - 12 mpg towing! I don't know about you but thats a big $$$ to pay.

Man I love it Steve,
If I had that, I would have to let granny pass me up any more on the hills with her 400hp CAT diesel pusher towing her Cadillac in an enclosed trailer !
Of course I wouldn't want to fill those saddle tanks with fuel either!
