    Sorry to offend some but freightliner hasn't made a descent trk since they quit making the FLD and Classic, all they are now is cheap fleet trk's that are meant to be used 5-6 years and recycled. freightliner dealers will tell you this, that is why the initial cost is so low. hence the name freightliner crapcadia

    But the Fl is the very best truck to buy right now. So it can be crap but not much will be more reliable for you.

    I still stand by it and say the make the best truck from a reliability stand point. Overall you'll have less issues with a Fl than you will with anything else

    Talk about answering into the wind. This is an old forum and the OP's last post was 9/28/2014. My guess is he's made up his mind as to which is the "best" truck.

    Get a 2009-2010 freightliner cascadia it has good fuel mileage,and or a Coronado wouldn't advise you if you want to save on fuel.If you want a international prostar thats also a good truck. If you look online look up freightliner classic xl cummins n14 but you'll have some oil issues a lot
