What's the best truck to buy

don't even think to buy truck newer than 2007 best trucks will be peterbuilts they are tough and little expensive , freightliner classics will do great job, keworth t600 , get at least 475 horsepower , cats are best you can find an overhaul truck in californa at great price only a suggestion if its your first truck

 

Prostars,400hp,automatics lol i dont think you could get any worse.Peterbilts,kenworths,isx cummins and an 18speed now were talking.

 

It's not about the best truck. It's about the best truck for the application you intend to use it for. The right engine, transmission, rears, etc.

 

This is why you shouldn't be thinking of buying a truck.

 

Best trucks are Peterbilts??? Wow that's news to me and a lot of others that prefer other "brands" that are "built" equally as well. I got news for you I got three of the best built trucks out there they are all pre-emission and none of them are are "Peterbuilts". They aren't any tougher than any other truck out there, don't fool yourself.

 

I've been driving a bit over 20 years, and all but 10 months has been flatbed. Have driven Macks, KWs, Petes, FLs, and now a Volvo. Of them all, I prefer KW. I just always liked the storage, and ergonomics of them. As long as your wheelbase is long enough to fit a cabguard between the cab and trailer, you should be OK. Most of the rest is just personal preference.
