Vulcan V-70 Key Features

[@billarroo1]

I'm 73, I wish I was 20 again just so I could run one of these trucks, I ran a 750 and an 850 Holmes wreckers, with bus bars for MCI Greyhound buses, and mixers, what a hard job. YOU guys have it Easy. GREAT VIDEO Thanks William Orange county, ca.

The W9 with the V-70, also with a bunk, awesome setup.

That's a nice looking truck! Like the red and silver

I like when they touch on maneuverability, It truly is important, As towing ops we are not only called out when accidents occur or vehicles get stuck in the environment, but we are also called when drivers get stuck when maneuvering their vehicles, and we have to get them out of that position without causing damage and with not only their vehicles length but also out vehicles length, If they get their 70 foot rig stuck it's gonna make it even harder to get it out when you add another 50 foot rig to the equation, these vehicles truly do need to be maneuverable.

Great representative from Kenworth beautiful ride

[@MrManuel1329]

Love these

[@orlandrioussullivan9139]

Thats my favorite truck, i love them W900

[@haiderk3246]

Nice 👍

Is a manual transmission available cause if someone gets there commercial drivers license in a automatic semi they are only allowed to drive a automatic transmission truck but getting a commercial drivers license in a manual transmission means they can operate both

How does the extra 200RPM help if it’s got an 18-speed transmission? Aren’t there enough ratios to cover the whole speed range natively?

[@taylor11089]

Cause you can Run The RPM’s Higher in Each Gear. This Truck has The Cummins Performance Series Motors which has a Extra 200 RPM’s as well as a Higher Torque Motor. The Efficiency Series Motors have only a 1450 & 1650 FPT Torque Options, The Performance Series Motors have a 1850 & 2050 FPT Torque Motors. Also Rear Axle Gearing Plays a Major Factor in How these Motors Perform going Down The Road.

@@taylor11089 that's what I call a non-answer. Back to school for you.

@@pjtemplin Peter, Please ENLIGHTEN Me then. Please Explain, since YOUR the one who asked the Question? I’m Listening, This should be Interesting. BTW, More RPM’s Increases the Torque Band in Each Gear, as well as Matching the Right Gear for The Application & Speed.

@@taylor11089 it's Pete, not Peter, thank you very much, and it's RPM or RPMs not RPM's. Regardless, it's an 18-speed transmission, and while the attempts to reuse the same unit in 9, 13, and 18-speed applications leaves a bit to be desired, other than the gap between LL and L, no gear change is more than a 21% step. If clutch engagement speed is 800RPM, one only needs 968RPM for the next gear to be "right". 1200RPM is even enough to skip the splitter, so driving it as if it was just a 9-speed still doesn't come close to the extra 200RPM gained by the engine. Further, the torque limits are entirely computer-enforced, primarily to keep the transmissions intact: higher-torque engines generally have a more-peaked torque curve (sure, more torque, but not as wide of a band) than the lower-torque engines (where the computer limits fuel flow so the torque limit isn't exceeded; it's got more grunt available but won't use it for the sake of the warranty relationship). With as broad as the ratio spreads are with 18-speed gearboxes (roughly 20:1), rear axle gearing ends up dictating the right gear choice for highway cruising.

@@pjtemplin Peter, Peter, Peter, Apparently you Didn’t Read anything in ANY of My Post, Except Trying to be The Grammar Police, Autocorrect didn’t Fix My Comment as I typed it. But, just for you, I am going to Add Commas to RPM’s. Now, back to the Topic at Hand. Nobody is going to Shift Gears with #80,000+ Pounds behind them @ 968 RPM’s with a Load. Your Clutch Engagement Torque doesn’t Start Until around 1,100-1,000 FPT, Your Peak Torque Curve Starts at 1,000 FPT and goes to 1,550 RPM’s (on a X15 Performance Series which is what these Trucks have), but Peak Horsepower Rating Starts at 1,500 RPM’s and goes Until 1,900 RPM’s. So, too achieve Maximum Horsepower you Need those Extra 200-500 RPM Power Band. Once you Get Into some Hills and Mountains Grossing #100,000 Pounds, your going to Want those Extra RPM’s and Power Band to Achieve Maximum Power. Your not going to be Shifting at 1,200-1,300 RPM’s like you would on Flat Ground. Your going to take advantaged of those Extra RPM’s in Each Gear Range. As I said in My Previous Post (that you Didn’t Read), Gearing does ALL of The Work in Heavy Haul Applications, Horsepower & Torque are just Accessories/Tools to Gearing. Gearing is the Reason why Trucks & Tow Trucks in the 50, 60, & 70’s could Haul 80,000+ Pounds with only 225-350 Horsepower Motors & 5-6x4 Twin Stick Transmissions and 9, 10, 13 Spd Transmissions. Also, in reply to your Last Sentence, we around Not Highway Cruising in a Tow Truck as you would with a Fleet Truck or Owner Operator Truck. This is Not a Trucking Company that is Running Nationwide, again it is a Tow Truck.

So yaw sell more than just one brand of wrecker units

[@kappajohns5416]

under miller is Century, Vulcan, Chevron

[@martiezcaffey7038]

That’s the truck Ron Pratt has from Midwest truck service that he calls the western star only difference is it’s painted different instead of a Kenworth it has a western star cab

[@ChromeStacks]

Was great until we see it’s an auto.
