This truck cant pull a wet string out of a cat's a$$ under 1500 RPM's.. Makes me love the Mack more and more.. Oh that's empty by the way... 14 tons in the box put's it at 50K.. and it sucks.. Too bad, it has a transmission that I like, 8LL. top speed is 62ish.. I still see lots of those old Fords still working I drove my first one at 20 years old. I think to myself GEEEEEEESUS that was almost 50 years ago and they’re still out here working. I always liked the way they looked even today.

Gotcha I heard Sacramento for one place is completely broke. Politicians are still praising their achievements Galvin Newsom nice job jackass. I’m surprised Reno is not busted since we have no political support here. Same old shit, no political representatives just stupid people sucking the system.
