Bad idea to buy a 2015 truck from a dealership?

@PermanentTourist how about rear end? Detroit rears break a lot and fixing is expensive. Meritor is a good one. if it's a freightliner/penski ask them to update mcm, cpc, acm modules before buying it.

 

I think you were wise in skipping the first one. This one seems a LOT better all around but certainly not cheap. It's a catch22 here. Good trucks are hard to find right now but Cascadias are the most common truck by far, so just make sure absolutely everything about is just like you want, warranty and maintenance as well as spec. It looks great btw.

 

is it automatic?

 

if you will install latest oil pump on it engine brake will perform much better. done it on my engine. just yesterday I had a call from friend who has Cascadia with dt12. Something happened to the truck in mo. He had paid $1200 for towing to St Louis, MO. The freightliner gave him an estimate of $6000 to change the clutch and some few small things on DT12. They also told him that it will take about week until job will be done.

 

What are you talking about? I'm buying a 2015 t680 with Cummins and thinking about aftermarket warranties now that original is up
