2015 VOLVO VNL

Pete's Take

Sure, here we go:

Rivals of the 2015 Volvo VNL Tractor Truck

1. 2015 Freightliner Cascadia

The 2015 Freightliner Cascadia is a worthy competitor to the Volvo VNL. It's powered by a DD13 engine which provides a horsepower range similar to the Volvo D-13 engine. The Cascadia also features an automated manual transmission, providing smooth shifts and improved fuel efficiency. With its spacious sleeper cab and tandem axle setup, it mirrors the comfort and hauling capabilities of the VNL.

2. 2016 Kenworth T680

Next up is the 2016 Kenworth T680. This truck sports a PACCAR MX-13 engine that delivers comparable horsepower to our Volvo's D-13. It also comes with an automated transmission system for easy handling on long hauls. Like the VNL, it boasts a high GVWR class and has a sleeper cab for those long cross-country routes.

3. 2014 Peterbilt 579

Lastly, we have the 2014 Peterbilt 579 - another strong rival in this category. Equipped with a Cummins ISX15 engine that offers similar power output as our subject vehicle's engine, it ensures reliable performance on any route. Its Eaton Fuller automated transmission adds to its drivability while maintaining fuel efficiency. The truck also features a tandem axle configuration and includes a sleeper cab, making it an excellent alternative to consider.
