Out of all the trucks on sale, these are the only 2 you are considering? What type of hauling, location and many other questions need to asked first. Regardless don't forget to do a rigdig report, like a carfax for cars.

The one that makes you happy to drive and you can work on.
My experience with MX is it felt like it was burning too lean and the power band was engineered to appear better than it was in practice, there were flat spots.
I haven't liked international cab design either, always hitting my head on something. But the prostar sleeper was better, to me, than the paccar ones I'd used, just didn't like the front part where I drove.
If I was going o/o I'd buy a truck from an o/o who is retiring.RubyEagle, Dino soar and stillwurkin Thank this. -

Neither, millions of trucks out there, look again.

Whatever truck you buy, you will end up putting money into it. If you get a Pete or a kw with a cummins at least when it comes time sell it you’ll get something for it.

After all these years I still don't know what a cummings is. I guess maybe that's like a detroitg or a paccarg but I don't know.
