2 weeks ago I traded in my 2007 FL for a 2014 Volvo w/12 sp auto. I did not think I was going to like this truck. My FL was so comfortable and had lots of room. Oh brother....this thing is a Cadillac compared to the FL. The auto isn't really an "auto". Just a 12 sp with no clutch pedal. Handles...

Have a 2003 volvo with isx and 10 speed eaton. It has a growl that you can hear and even feel above 1500 rpm. There is no noise below that even at idle so I don't think it is the damper in the clutch. Noise is the same in every gear.

The world’s fastest hybrid Class 8 truck will try to beat its own speed record (it owns three) April 27 at Wendover Airfield in Utah. From a standing start, the Volvo hybrid “Mean Green” will attempt to do more than 165-miles-per-hour in a little over half-a-mile. In building the Mean Green...

Low beams are so out of whack, I can hunt 'coon with them, the high beams could light up a football field, took a look at them today, no clue

I recently started driving an '05 Volvo which is really not a bad rig to drive. Comfortable, very roomy and well laid out sleeper, everything within easy reach, seats with a zillion adjustments. It has a Cummins ISX with a 13 speed box, is not governed so I can run whatever speed limit in...
