Freightliner badge. I bought an 03 (as I recall), before they started
putting Dodge badges on them. They are all Mercedes. In 06 (as I
recall) they went to a larger, slightly less economical, engine. When
new, I was getting about 26 mpg. Now at 60K miles, I'm getting 27-29
mpg. I just took a trip of about 3,000 miles towing a tandem trailer
loaded with a car. That knocked the mileage down to 18-21 mpg.
