You guys I'm tired from looking for used truck for me everytime I found one
Some stuff comes good with truck and stuff no good I mean the truck spaces
For example good engine good Hp
From otherside ratio not good or the wheelbase ..
Today I found one I which be good
Cascadia 2015 DD15 Detroit
HP 505
Dt12 speed
Ratio 336
Wheelbase 236
I like the engine pretty much good and the Hp nice and transmission awesome but You can tell the ratio 336 not good on mpg And will climbing up kind of weak pulling 53 reefer or dry van
How you guys see that .Last edited: May 31, 2017

Seems like pretty generic specs to me. It'll be fine.
MartinFromBC Thanks this. -
Yup those seem like good specs. Go with 295/75-22.5 tires and you should be good.
-
Thanks for your advice ..
But you sure no issues with ratio 336 ? pulling up smoothly and mpg fineLast edited: Jun 1, 2017

336 isn't a very tall gear. That means when you're cruising up and down the Interstate or 400 series, you'll be doing just fine with your MPG.
Take that same truck into northern Ontario with a loaded tandem and bring it up some bush roads; then you have a bit of a tougher day. -
Yah looks fine but crazy asking about $87.000 for the price I was saying expensive for this one because comes with
350k mileage
Cascadia 2015 DD15 Detroit
HP 505
Dt12 speed
Ratio 336
Wheelbase 236
Rcap tires
What you think this right or should be less price ? -
Macneil Thanks this.

^^he is right. RB auction is a good place to see what people are willing to pay for trucks.
We just bought a pup(dump trailer for tri axle truck) from the Toronto auction. Paid 18000 with taxes. Had to put a new hoist on it(4K) so we have 22k invested in a trailer that is mechanically fit and good to go for a trailer that people are asking 35000 for any day of the week.
