Here we discuss our favorite transmission, the Volvo Ishift.  We will discuss what it is, how it works, and why it we recommend it.  We also talk about Isee, eco-roll, and hill start assist and all the software packages you can have to tailor your ride to your style of driving.

Gregg from RVHaulers and Jonathan Nosbush from JonnyVolvo.ca share some of the unique options that are considered when factory ordering a new Volvo heavy truck.  When we order a Volvo heavy truck designed for towing our relatively light-weight recreational RV 5th wheels, we can tailor the rig to our own needs.  
 
If you are considering a new Volvo as your RVHauler candidate truck, both Gregg and Jonathan welcome your calls and questions!
