    When Leasing, which one is best ??? I am considering going to Lone Mountain to do a lease. My question is this, I like Volvo 780. Very comfortable ride and quieter than the Freightliner. If I got a Freightliner, which engine is best ? Detroit or Cummins ? What truck is best if bought used ? Thanks for all input.

    Id do a Frightliner with a Detroit. The Detroit is just a better engine in my experience.

    Lone Mountain is a great bunch of people, and easy to work with. If I was to get a freightliner I would go with the Detroit no question asked. As you can see from the image I chose the Volvo as it works better for my needs.

    Don't lease. Save and buy a truck. The DD-15 is by far the best engine in my opinion

    Since Freightliner and Detroit are both owned by Mercedes, I don't believe that you can get a Cummins in a new Freightliner. Awhile back you could opt for a Mercedes engine, but now I think your only choice is Detroit.
