Freightliner with a Cummins

Currently I'm looking at the same specs except its a Ryder. Most likely with it having an APU it probably doesn't have a long idle time like most rental trucks do, and I agree with you 100 percent Freightliner is not my cup of tea. Just have a really good look and get a dyno done on it. With it being Penske it might be decent.

 

I've delt a lot with rental trucks from Penske and Ryder.. I would say run away.. Every time i've got a rented truck them there was always problems. Drinking oil Drinking coolant or engine lights on.. The power in them sucked..

 

Can you rent the truck for a month or two. That would give you the feel of the truck.
Most articles I 've read . The most troubled trucks are the 2010 thru 2013.
Good luck.

 

I would never buy an ex-rental truck.
They get too much abuse.

 

I'll do that. I've heard good and bad about Ryder trucks. I'm not so sure whats true and whats not I think they are decent trucks. One of my friends told me Ryder has a better maintenance plan then Penske and when I heard that that defiantly raised my eyebrow I thought it was the other way around.

 

I wanna rent one just to see how long I can hold it on the rug while speed shifting
