2020 5700xe ,17307hrs 542,000miles , DD15 505hp , Dt12 oh1 hd12 trans , 68'' high rise sleeper , 13,300 fr axle , 40 rear $61,000 . I understand a mechanic cant really give anything but a general thought on this . My question , is this truck worth it if no major problems with engine and trans ? Understanding that tires are about 60% good . Thanks for any input .

Run away as fast as you can. 17,307 hrs. are way to many. In July I bought a 2020 Cascadia 419,000 miles, 8079 hrs. In my search for that truck, I found many trucks with the kind of hrs. like the one you're looking at and just crossed them off the list.
Gridaxe5588, LoneRanger, Arctic_fox and 2 others Thank this. -
Thanks i sort of thought that, with over 2 years of run time . Has it sat and idled forever or a shady seller ? American moters commerce city Co.

My 2016 Cascadia Expedite has 852500 K and less hours than that one, that one has Idled a crap ton.

Yep. Or in applications where they're pulling hard all day long but aren't driving very fast.

Yea man i had not put any thought in how the truck was run , how the driver or company kept up with maintenance . 17000 hrs lol , a backhoe with that is wore out . I was not thinking .
