M936A1 Wrecker Cruising Speed

[nf6x]

I'm curious about how an M936A1 wrecker drives on the highway. The -10 TM doesn't appear to indicate that it has a lower top speed than a regular M923, in contrast to my M543A2 wrecker which I think is geared lower than the cargo variants of its family. Is the M936A1 geared the same as the M939-series cargo trucks? Can an M936A1 comfortably cruise at 55 MPH on the highway, or does it run out of power before it gets there?

Just curious... I'm certainly not contemplating another ill-advised truck purchase...

I'm pretty sure it's geared the same as all the other M939 trucks. I say that because I've got one and it seems to go as fast as the others, it just takes a long time to get there. It's hard to cruise at 55 if there are hills involved.

The 543/816 are all geared the same as there brother and sister trucks except a special build (Honest John, ect)

The ones with the super singles will cruise at a higher speed but will fall flat on their face when they hit a hill. You are talking about a 36,000 pound vehicle that was underpowered when it was built.
