Hi Tammy, I started driving in 1978. I gave up driving full time in 1998 to be come a writer. I now write for HDT and Today's Trucking magazines ... and do video test drives.
I love my 579,just not as good as the epic truck but still with my canestoga doing all the time 80.000 7.2 MLS/gal. Would say not to bad for the North East coast with lots of traffic and big Hill's
@@firstamendmenttshirt4768 I'm pretty sure hes going to lie about his gross weight, right? I dont get you conspiracist. You're not buying this truck so what do you care?
@@CACressida look whoever you think you are I drive for a living. I know what is realistic. Look at the video it was flat land tell a consumer what you want an lose a costumer go ahead tell me more with your attitude you will lose a costumer in the Future. Flatland..when you apologize for your stupidity I will be waiting. How about since you know more buy one for me and prove me WRONG.
When I started the trip in Scottsdale, the trip fuel economy was 7.8. I reset it before beginning the trip to Denton. The mileage you see on screen was the same screen I was looking at. The first day of the trip went from Scottsdale to Holbrook AZ and then onto Santa Rosa, NM. There were some small mountains and two-lane roads on that leg of the trip. The second day was Santa Rosa to Denton. It was flat, interstate-type highway with the prevailing winds at my back. The gross weight was as described, and I did have a scale ticket at the time. And I was driving very conservatively at 65 rather than 75 and taking advantage of every coasting opportunity that came my way. This video is totally legit.

Was the trailer empty or did you carry a load for that fuel economy.
