Newer truck with emissions,(2019-2024) is it worth it?

Might as well go all the way for best MPG. That’ll help make the payment. Whatever it takes. Automatic trans? Embrace the future, don’t leave one foot behind. I see new Volvos with Volvo engines, auto trans getting 8-9 mpg vs. Coronado gliders w/ 12.7 getting 7. It adds up, $600-$800 per mo.towards payments.

 

That did not improve as much as the general rumor says. For a solo o/o it still can be hit and miss. Fleets can mitigate the down time with other units, while a solo on a downtime is hard to make up for. Banks don't care either, you can be screwed with a brand new too.

 

I wouldnt buy a new truck with the emissions BS. Ill take my chances with a good used pre emission one

 

May want to see who will lease you on if your going that way.

 

More like $3,000.

 

Cummins x15 has been phenomenal since 2017. Now who knows what the 2027 emissions will bring or if it’ll get nixed. Time will tell.

Dealer tells me if 2027 goes into play it’ll
Cost more and results will be unknown. Could lead to a run on 2026 trucks built in 2025.

 

The lead mechanic at the local Kenworth dealer just came back from training on the new motors. I guess Cali is phasing them in two years early?

 

7 mpg. vs 9 mpg. @ 3000 miles per week. @3.95gal. = $1500 per mo.

 

Right. I'm not sure exactly the math I was using, but $1500 is still a big chunk of change in your pocket each month. But 7mpg is pretty unlikely, especially with some of the setups you see.

 

That’s closer to what I would save a quarter over what I would save a month….
