Not to get off of battery boxes.
But thanks for the at a boy on the truck.
It has been a great investment.
It is a 2007 chassis, so 2006 emissions.
So people said I was stupid as the truck I got has a Mercedes 250 hp engine.
People say that you need at least a 300+ hp to be able to pull grades.
Yes, I do go up hill slow, but I am retired, at the end of the day I will be at the same place you are, maybe a little later, but we travel in comfort.
We travel from NH to MN to AZ twice a year.
It is our go to town truck, have never had a problem going anywhere or parking anywhere, maybe father out in the parking lot, but that way we get our exercise.
We get 10 mpg hauling, but around town without the rig, we get 15 mpg.
The truck is owned by our company so we can right off all travel, I do fire apparatus fire pump testing, in NH and AZ.
Have a great day, 74 degrees in AZ and no rain since January 7.
