    New Expedition Camper - Overland Explorer

    I guess I should do my math a bit better 31 litres per 100 is about 8 miles per gallon....

    International 4700 crew cab VS Dodge 3500

    It does do a lot better in the cold than most but there is a lot of room for improvement they could have done a few small things at the factory that would have made it so much better but now is almost impossible to do. I did not remember how much work it was to outfit a truck the way you want...

Usually before when ever I got the urge to get a new truck I would just get the one I had cleaned and detailed and mabey a few new parts. This time I could not get enough new...
