    Garbage. If you are stuck on the Prostars, find one with a Cummins.

    Didn't prostars have huge issues with the emissions systems? Def and regeneration stuff? Or was that specifically just the maxxforce ones? As much less as dealers are charging for them, if that issue doesn't affect the Cummins ones, it could be an ok starter truck.

    The maxx engines are garbage and probably selling for dirt cheap.

    I'll bet he does want to sell you that one. LOL

    If you must get a Prostar get one with an ISX15. Better yet, buy an ISX15 with a Cascadia or even a Volvo surrounding it.

    Cascadia is haunted. Sometimes it rides well and is easy to drive, other times it's soft as a marshmallow and drifts all over the place. Almost something different every time you turn the key.
