Information on what you’re going to see here is thin, but here’s what we have: You’re looking at a 2014 Freightliner Argosy that started out as a glider truck…that means you got everything but a powerplant from the factory. At some point down the line, a 24V71 Detroit Diesel mill…yeah, you read that right, a 24-cylinder, supercharged two-stroke diesel that, if my understanding of Detroit Diesels is correct, is a 1,074 cubic inch wall of noise that is better off in a boat than it ever was attached to a cab-over truck. Reportedly, an Allison automatic trans is keeping things together and is putting the power down. How much power is it making? A stock DD 24V71 is about 1,800 horsepower. We’ve seen claims that this thing is pushing the 3,000 horsepower mark. And if you want to know how much torque it’s making, just watch the video. I’m hard-pressed to think of anything I’ve ever seen in my life so far that has made the pulling trailer their bitch quite like this Argosy does…no five-Hemi tractor or three-turbine setup has put the kind of hurt on the sled that this cab-over semi tractor does. It doesn’t just do a full pull, it does one while tearing down the course at a speed that would impress a big-rig drag racer on asphalt, unladen. And reportedly, when it’s not busy showing other drivers just how weak their daily rigs are, it’s hauling a dump trailer, because of course it is.

Somewhere, Lohnes is hyperventilating, I can just sense it. If I can find footage of this thing whipping donuts like the Bandag Bullet, he might be fit for the straightjacket.
