Moving Truck Specifications

Tank capacity, fuel economy estimates, and fuel type for every truck supported by FillRight — across U-Haul, Penske, Budget, and Enterprise. MPG figures are for empty trucks under ideal conditions; loaded real-world MPG is typically 20–40% lower. All values used in the FillRight calculator are sourced from company spec pages where available, or from industry class averages when companies do not publish per-truck figures.
