2014 Volvo 780 D13 vs 2017 Kenworth T680 Paccar

What would you buy? Will be pulling dry van in Midwest. Both are Automatic and have around 430,000 miles. Kenworth has 750K warranty left. Has been drove as a team truck but bad thing it does not have APU. Warranty work has been very little a few issues with heater and AC unit and lighting. Had 19 over 10 hour idle time.
Will get oil samples for this as well.


Volvo has APU and bunk heater no warranty left but looks to be in good shape. Waiting on ECM download and oil samples. Started up better then all the other Volvo’s I have drove and ran great.

 

It has the Paccar MX 13

 

Most loads will be middle weight.
Yes the Volvo does have 2.64. Kenworth aver 7.8 mpg. Still need to check in the morning on Volvo. Have another test drive set up.

 

Yes I am very aware of that issue. Thank you for the information. My understanding that when it starts up and has a little delay that is a sign that it is gonna fail sooner then later.

 

That is great information to know. Thank you sir for the added info.

 

#### 500K on first was pretty good considering they have had bad reviews for that year. #### shame the second set did not work out. I assume was covered on warranty.
