I want a good 500K mile Volvo 610, Detroit 60 Series with auto shift, and singled out. The Volvo has the best wheel cut! Chris

Something to think about. In the 1970's the trucking industry started using wide single rear wheels instead of duals on semi's. This ended after a few years because of stability issues. Now the only big rigs with single wheels on the rear in wide use are cement trucks, which don't go very far from home, or tow trailers.
while in a truck stop recently, i noticed some trucks with the wider single wheels. i guess they are getting away from the "18 wheeler". i don't recall seeing them until now. come to think of it, i believe it was only the trailer.

i chose the drw for the stopping power. on the road, i really like the long wheel crew cab drw. in town, i don't like it. parking places in malls aren't made for them.
