We have a 2013 Millennium triple slide H3-45 at Tiger Run in Breckinridge, Colorado. Yesterday we test drove the coach up Hwy 70 to the Eisenhower tunnel - If you haven't been there, it's a very long, very steep grade up to almost 12,000 ft. Went up the grade at 37 mph at 1800 rpm in 3rd gear - An 08 H3-45 with series 60 on the same grade the day before yesterday was at 30 mph and overheated before the summit - Engine was also remarkably quiet at all times - Came back down the Loveland pass rd. Steep windy 2 lane rd from the continental divide to Arapahoe Basin - Used only the transmission retarder on the decent - NEVER touched the brake and did not get an over temp light - This coach weighs 52012 lbs with full fuel and water tanks - 16000 lb on the front axle - We have been exceptionally pleased with both the performance and fuel economy on the 13 coaches we have delivered with the Volvo engine.
