    Would a 2005 8600 international with a c13 cat motor be good for a 4 car wedge trailer? The truck has 400000 miles on it.

    Not the best choice out there but it will do. Better than a pickup anyway

    It won't get the greatest fuel mileage but you won't know you have a load.

    No. Not the greatest. But I get 7mpg+ in a 9200 dragging a refer around weighing a lot more than 4 cars.

    OP. 400k on a day cab is quite a few. Be sure to have it checked out thoroughly. That CAT might be due for an inframe. You won't know till you have it checked.

    Not to thread jack, I thought those engines were rated much longer than that?
