GearheadGrrrl Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 I note a press release in there announcing that Volvo will be offering their failed "replacement" for the Autocar trucks, the VHD, with a short sleeper. No mention of the Mack Pinacle and Rawhide which are already available with the optional Granite frame and Mack's whole assemblage of sleepers from small to wow! It's nice to see Volvo taking my advice and offering a sleeper cab on/off road truck for the booming oil field market, but they should be promoting the Macks which offer the Maxitorque/Maxidyne powertrain and double reduction axles that can't be had at any price on a Volvo.
