the npr series trucks work nice as a rollback, kinda slow compared to some commercial chassis vehicles; however there maneuverability is untouchable. Mine with a 18ft bed can be turned around in the with of a parking lane at the local shopping center, makes in town work super easy compared to a conventional chassis truck.
would not recommend a rollback and two car trailer together though, as the original configuration is a bit underpowered. and a gas burner with alot of power will not get any kind of gas mileage pushing the brick down the road. the diesels are better than the gas engines on fuel mileage and have acceptable power and speed if you learn to use it correctly, they are small displacement and you have to keep them on boost to get the good out of them. as stated gas burners have more power but terrible gas mileage.
for comparison sake my diesel npr unloaded gets 14mpg, loaded typically can pull 10-12 depending on how heavy/un aerodynamic the load is.
my friends gas burner gets 11mpg empty and can eek out 7-MAYBE 8mpg loaded if he's careful.
