    KIMG0232.jpg KIMG0232.jpg Well I ended up.with a 2013 386 MX 13 430, 342 gears. Power is comparable to my old Freight shaker 12.7 .It gets around 7 mpg ,not going to win any hill climbing race but I'm happy with it .Mileage was around 560000 price was $32,000

    I have found that's the question everyone asks themselves no matter what make,model or year. A friend of mine refused to keep a 2018 389 Pete with big HP Cummins due to electrical problems,had it less than 2 months.

    I took a 389 glider for a spin that was specd for heavy hail, saw a mechanic hooking secondary abs cord as a primary (which he wasnt supposed to do it) and it alerted a circuit failure everytime I climb in.
