Been looking at a truck to pull RV with. I have narrowed it down to 3 trucks. Which is the better choice? I have a front runner but want to see what the experts say:
Truck #1 2006 Volvo 670, Cummins 450isx with ultrashift. Truck has inverter, super singles 50% and is in good condition inside and out, color I want and has 1,100,000 on the clock and asking 19k. The drawback is this dealer has crappy feedback, he answered my questions on phone but said he was going to look and confirm all he had told me but never called me back so just confirms to me the bad feedback and makes me shy away.

Truck #2 2007 Volvo 780, Cummins 485isx with ultrashift. Truck has APU, 70% tread looks good in/out, not my preferred color and has 1,200,000 on the clock asking 19,985. I know the APU is added value, the miles are high but seems at the price they are asking that there may be trouble coming that will cost me some dough? (EDIT) This dealer also says trucks were top fleet vehicles with piston/rod inspections within the last year) View attachment 82409
Truck #3 2006 Freightliner Columbia 120, Detroit 60 515 with ultrashift. No inverter, no APU but is immaculate inside and out, color I want with 690k selling for 21,750 and is standing firm on price. Has 10 brand new tires on aluminum wheels and dual 150 tanks. View attachment 82410
I know the Volvos have better interior space/use and maybe better mileage? People complain about the "freightshaker" rattling and not built well. I am leaning toward the Columbia because of its condition and mileage. Your thoughts and opinions would mean a great deal.
Which is the better deal?
