That presents a very difficult choice. On the one hand I'm not particular about trucks AT ALL. Could care less about chrome or how long the hood is. I want RELIABILITY and the highest dang fuel mileage I can find.
I need a good truck, and am about to pay 5 times that in order to get one... yet I could go through 5 of those if I had to and still spend the same. I just don't know what to do. I could buy that outright and have no payments at all. I probably SHOULD until freight picks up and that might take a year or two... sure would make things easier if the #### thing doesn't take a crap in a month.1pissedoffdriver Thanks this. -

Is the truck in Kansas City? If so, let's talk... This might be an option for me. -
I wouldn't characterize the inside as mint though, looks a bit rough up there. I don't mind getting dirty, just don't want to 'feel' dirty even when I'm clean. -

Where I live if I get a truck with a frameless dump bucket to pull and a van for the slow times I can work pretty solid here in Illinois. There are a lot of o/o that haul grain, coal and lime. The nice thing about o/o is you don't have to haul ash. The idea of a van and a sleeper is that sometimes it does get slow and then it's nice to have a backup. Plus have you ever seen 25 tons of frozen coal? Good time to hook up to the van and head south.

But, if you want it, go for it. I sure wouldnt want to stop an aspirring business person from fulfilling his or her dream. Not at all. And as serious as we all get about this stuff, I really hope you know when I am teasing you. -
