This response is way late but if you drive it with the goal of saving fuel, you will get 7.5 - 8.0 mpg. You will get that with the DD16 (600 HP) also. I have direct experience with this truck. Driving it in the midwest, even with the DD16 600 HP, you will get 7.5 - 8.0 mph hauling those light loads. (*ratio - gear *ratio).
@@truthseeker5890 you won't get a 2.47:1 RAR gear ratio with a DD16. You must have a DT12-OA overdrive transmission and 3.08:1 or shorter gears because Daimler will not warranty a DD16 equipped drivetrain with AMT transmission that has taller gears because of torque spike.
One of the smartest looking cabs in the class eight of trucks to this point !!
