Those are the crap models with pos Paccar engines.
Do a search for Pete 389 2013 or newer under 450k milles.
I didnt see not one under $75,000BoostedTeg Thanks this. -
I've worked for all three, (KW, PETE, & F/LINER). I don't see much difference in parts support, personally like KW better as far as cab room, but also enjoyed my time in a '15 Cascadia. Very liveable, but a pain in the wind with a the aero skirts
Never could see the extra money for Paccar...same frame, brakes, trans, etc...akfisher Thanks this. -
You can't compare a 389 to a cascadia
-
You could be right. Only driven one Pete and yeah it was a nice truck but I will say that math and science doesnt lie and Freightliners make more money. Comfort factor maybe you have me but not on engine reliability, parts, dealerships, and fuel economy.

That doesn't look safe lol

It's a never ending debate. There will be no winners or losers. It's also why there are different mamufacturers, just like personal vehicles. Just be glad we have a choice and are free to decide for ourselves.
And yes, the frig hanging from the roof with a ratchet strap is as dangerous as it gets. That's a head remover in a collision. Which reminds me of the frig location in a 386 pete. I seriously doubt that plastic cabinet is gonna stop a frig.akfisher Thanks this. -
if you had that detroit maybe it would not have blown up on you
how many miles was that at? -
Maybe. And maybe it's just like a certain brand of jeans people are willing to pay 100 bucks for when wranglers and levis cost 30. Years ago pete made a very very good product. The building process and materials were superior in quality. Aircraft grade aluminium and hand rivited for example. But today it's just a truck like any other. Made from the same china crap every other truck is.sdaniel, BoostedTeg and akfisher Thank this.
