What the fuel gap costs

Against the most efficient tractor in this reference, over 120,000 miles at this week’s diesel price.

$4,974 a year

Known issues

The same Volvo parts and diagnostic considerations as the VNL.

Verdict

A good regional tractor, and a light one, which is payload. Wrong for long haul where the VNL's sleeper and aerodynamics earn their weight back.
