Which Brand

Between the two I'd go with the Ford. Last time I drove a new Chevy it had 50k miles and rattled like a tin can inside.

 

Volvo for the big rig. Most comfortable and quiet truck I've ever driven.

Looking at new or used?

Resale a factor?

What type of trailer do you pull and how fast do you like to run?

I have a new Peterbilt ultra loft and for being a pig with lipstick it works fine
Fit and finish is decent. Resale decent. MPG decent but would be better if I ran 65-67 ish
I like the hoods but at the end of the day this is just a hammer in my tool box

They’re all starting to look the same so that shouldn’t be a big decision maker so I would lean towards resale. Fit and finish and service locations such as KW Peterbilt and Freightliners all seem to be easy to find a shop

 

Another thing

Your mpg and mine will be very different on exact same trucks

Your foot has a lot to do with Mpg

 

A seat like that might be one of the Boston ( I think the brand ) seats
I looked at them but at the time they were Bose and selling to Boston whoever

I have a Minimizer Yada yada and it was just over $2,000

 

No!

I don’t think you’re on the wrong path but just don’t be too quick to make a bad decision such as wrong company. No funds etc

 

Good advice!
