2013 Paccar MX 455 buy or pass?

If you have the vehicle VIN you can run it by Peterbilt to make sure all "campaigns" have been completed. A couple have said the DEF system had issues. If it was widespread there will have been a campaign by Paccar to fix it; all OEMs do this when a widespread problem arises. Get records from the previous owner if you can to make sure the DPF and DEF system has been maintained properly. I have a 2012 Pete 386 with a Cummins, bought used, and it has been great. The Paccar 13 liter would probably save more fuel being it is smaller displacement and the same power as the Cummins.

 

This is not true. The DPF system is covered for 24 months / 250,000 miles standards, just as the engine is. On top of that, most is the DPF system falls under Emissions warranty which is 60 months / 100,000 miles and comes into play a lot for city haul, waste trucks, and concrete applications.

 

May I inquire as to why you chose that over the 2013? Just curious.

 

Just make sure your company (either current or the one you plan to lease on to) doesn't require a California compliant truck before you buy

 

Thats a good deal then. I'd jump on that
