One of the last 2016 with the high heat and bigger blower with mid mount tank. This time I went with the 2500 with the 4.8 motor. The mid mount tank is nice, more room in the back. Tomorow is fill up the truck day and back at it monday.

I had the 6.0 liter in my last 3 butlers. Going from a 3500 with the 6.0 liter to a 2500 with the 4.8 liter is a savings of $5000. I do 2-3 jobs a day, I am in no hurry. From zero to 40 there is no difference in o shit acceleration.

It's far superior to the old configuation of the fresh water tank hugging the wall in back\


It's not innovation, basically catching up to the competition in that regard


Eliminates one of the biggest drawbacks to their units.... rear cargo space

My first Cleanco has the 4.8. It's about gotten me killed a few times. Second one has the 6 in it!
The 4.8 is WAY under powered for the hills we have around here.... My last was 4.8.... The new one is a 6.0......... BIG difference.......

The 4.8 struggles with a full load.....

Congratulations!!

I bought a butler in the spring of 2016. With the old tank set up. My one complaint was the space in the back. Six months or so later they come out with a mid mount tank. Figures!

I have the 4.8 motor. Hilly country it might struggle. But for me it's adequate. But then I try not to be in a hurry.

Love my Butler.

Everybody has different tastes. For me, the 210 waste tank is a serious plus.
Yep

I'll always have at least one truck with a 210 tank

The real savings comes with purchasing the 4.8 vs the 6.o motor

Last 3 vans for have been 6.0 , not sure about going smaller

No worries about dumping in a manicured yard or in freezing weather. Its an all day tank.
I'm not familiar with -10f weather, nor am I familiar with neighborhoods that have fake grass, so I enjoy dumping their funk wherever it's available in their yard filled with those glorious wild onions

He parks his trailer next to theirs and starts sucking
A few months ago, I was literally 25ft in between a mobil home (without it's skirt) and a chicken house cleaning the carpet in the mobil home. I have no idea why they had me come clean it, because it wasn't even livable. I had to use a ladder to climb in the home because the porch was rotten.


But back to the butler...
