Well been very busy since i got the truck, put on alot of hard miles, lovin the truck so far, pleasure to drive, far smoother than my `05. Fuel economy is no better than 30L/100km (i regulairly weigh 7500kg*) which i think i calculated to be 8.5mpg, and typically a minimum of 2 regens per tank, i can definatley say i have earned a few airmiles.

here is a pic from saturday, got called out in a wicked snow storm into a mountainous area aroun 4-5k ft up. Truck goes alot further than i would have guess in the muck!

I would think your rig weighs more than 7500 pounds. I would guess more like 9,000 to 10,000 pounds. No wonder you get 8.5 mpg...

Metric...oh my head.

Yea, look at my truck. I think its around 9500lbs and you're probably over that mark. I'm sure you will get plenty more miles than 10,000. However those harsh cold weather conditions probably gonna cut the life of your truck in half of what ours run down here in the south.

Correction, 9900lbs.....

Yeah my bad guys, 7500kg, so roughly 16500lbs. lol

That makes more sense. That is one heavy rig.
