{"text":"I have an opportunity to pickup a 2013 international prostar plus 6X2 sleeper with ~400k on it for ~$15k still under warranty in great shape that checks out. I've read about the various issues with these trucks and the maxxforce but have had a difficult time separating the facts from the drama. Obviously the market has completely cratered on them on the commercial side.\n\nQuestion. Im looking at 10-15k trucks for private use (sitting mostly, maybe driving a couple of times a month on regional 500mi hauls pulling a 25k lb trailer). Would one of these be better/more reliable/have less issues than an older (04 to 07) Volvo 780, freightliner, etc. with a d12 or cummings isx - but nearing 1M miles with maybe some freshened bearings or what not? Is the maxxforce a 1M motor?\n\nWhich truck would you choose and assume lower operating/maintenance cost? Newer lemon or older gettin' tired truck? I don't want big repair bills. Can these prostars handle even casual use without having a butt ton of dealer intervention or is that still asking too much?\n\nI know the right answer for the yugo, reliant.. not sure on these trucks. Maybe I should be looking for a deeper discount?? Not sure what they ran new.\n\nAppreciate the insights and reccomendations for a truck. Thanks.","pics":"[]","canComment":true}
