nice engine

So, in some sense, is the DD5 like the successor for the past Detroit Diesel series 50?

[@8v71buses]

CodiganKelly1983 I was thinking the same because the in the background it sounded so much like the Series 50 except lighter due to it being much smaller

[@MylanPS3]

@@ProjectKneepads The sound makes me think of the MB Atego trucks.

It’s way smaller than the S50

[@SwannBus]

How was the acceleration and which rear axle ratio is it Spec' with?

Hi Diesel Dice, that unit had a 5:56 ratio. While we were unloaded, it did have a box on it, and was very responsive. I'd suggest you stop into one of our locaitons and test one yourself. The one in the video has long been sold, but we have others. www.premiertruck.com/detail-2017-freightliner-m2_106-26_wabash_body_box_truck-new-15780808.html
