tjc transport Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 the 450 and 550 trucks tend to be geared more for load pulling than fuel economy.

GreenGiant2 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 They have 4.88 and 5.31 rears in them. My 450 was a animal. I grossed 30k and it still wanted to go.
