  • Penske truck rental

    I'll be renting a penske 22ft diesel truck next week to move to Arizona. Are these trucks limited to 60mph or anything goofy I should know about? I've rented a uhaul truck in the day and it was a non turbo diesel and even getting on the hwy empty was scary!

    Theyre ok...top out at @ 70-73, something like that...if youre not used to air brakes, avoid renting one with them

        I've never have driven something with air brakes. Can you explain? I've driven large uhauls before just never a penske.

                I drove one back from Seattle to Dallas and they were MUCH better to drive than a damn Uhaul.

                Make sure you have a diesel.

                    Air brakes wont give you the feedback hydraulic brakes do...they feel the same whether youre stopping from 10 mph or 60 mph...and there wont be a "park" option on the shifter...gotta leave it in neutral and use the push/pull parking brake...

                            I have rented both the uhaul and the Penske. I liked the cab interior of the uhaul better. ( more comfortable ) The deck on the uhaul was lower too making it easier to load stuff. The Penske was the cheaper of the two.

                              With air brakes if you see people starting to break, you better start breaking immediately also most of them are air ride as well which is fun till you hit a huge fucking bump.
