603772 发表于 2019-07-09 23:18:32 my preference is old no newer than 07 but I also do all my own work right down to overhauls. but if you go this route go with a 379 Pete or the right w900 with an e-model or C15 cat. I don't say because of status or any of that bs but if you're going to buy and own you might as well buy something that has resale and will always be worth something. go to a big auction and see what a 5 year old Volvo with 500k miles on it brings it's pathetic. pre emission cats are cheap and easy to fix vs the newer trucks. a Pete with low air leaf suspension rides and drives better than the huge aero trucks. don't believe me? next time you're in a 40+ mph cross wind look over at the guy in a Pete passing you with one hand rested on the wheel while your truck is leaning and you're struggling to stay in your lane and not look like a drunk.\n\nmy last 379 was a 2000. 6nz cat, 18 speed, 3.36's on 24.5 lows. 63\" sleeper 265\" wheel base. truck was making a little over 800 horse to the ground and pulling reefer from MN to Cali through the mountains running 80-85 mph loaded on a good day id usually do 5.5-6 mpg and on a brutal windy day 4.5-5 mpg. running to the south east and not driving like a lunatic best I did on a good day was 6.7 mpg. \n\nI live by the old saying, \"if you're worried about mileage you're hauling the wrong freight\" \n\nto each there own but there's a reason we keep rebuilding our old trucks instead of upgrading. that Pete had 1.7 million on the truck and if it wouldn't have been totalled last February I could have sold it and bought 3 500k Volvo's....

You or your choice for maintenance and pm. \n\nCons\n\nExpect to pay double the price you paid for the truck in repairs. Every truck has issues you don’t know yet till it’s to late. \n\n\nPersonally I prefer new just because of the warranty. The price tag is a lot higher but could end up cheaper in the long run if your used truck has a major breakdown. \n\nI know there’s more but this is what I can come up with right now.
