Being a fire truck it looked like it had been serviced well and having only 12,000 miles plus it had been used in parades a few years before.also you don't drive it like a modern truck and push it to hard .Tires have been the pain this one had 6 square tires 30-40 mph was a sweet spot then at 50mph no vibs .I was worried that the mirrors were going to vibrate off.
2 days it took to make the trip left KC around 11:00 am got here in Knoxville at 5:30 pm next day .I tried to sleep in the truck at a friends drivway in IL.just outside St.Louis layed down at 8:30 but by 3:00 am I was just to cold and started driving again .also in the 48 you push down on the door handle and the door opens.I almost fell out once.Can't wait to get the sleeper on this .
At 56 I'm to old to be sleeping on front seats.Also I drove it from St.Louis to KC 250 miles first.
