Not enough information to say...prices? I can tell you I like the looks of the 89 better because of the sleeper, fenders and some other minor aesthetic details. Also it's pre-ELD and I like a $3 paper logbook rather than the fancy ELD you have to pay for the service for. On the other hand the 2003 engine will probably get slightly better MPG so...

Probably the 03 and trailer then...didn't read the part about the trailer being included but that sounds like a pretty fair deal for both if the trailer fits your needs. Just be prepared to explain the ELD thing to every DOT guy who looks at the truck and sees 2003 on the VIN plate.
89 is more of a 2nd/nice weather truck for a guy who already has a truck and trailer and has the money to drop on a restored dream ride.Another Canadian driver and Oxbow Thank this. -
'89 just right and cheaper
'03 ditch the lighted bumper, the roof wing, the checkered flag garbage on the hood, the sleeper roof marker lights, the "is there anyone listening to me" cb antennas, the chromed out windshield trim. Also, not a big fan of the aftermarket fenders.Another Canadian driver, pete781693 and Oxbow Thank this. -
