Unfortunately the WORST years for the "new" emission/electronic trucks are 2008-14. I'm told... the 15 and up trucks are much better. I assume they will be for the first 4 years, its after that. A buddie has a 2015 he paid off, it's been ok, he has had some big repairs, problem being, his big repairs are 3x the cash of mine. Clutch, rebuilt head, rad, waterpump, etc. He HAS to go get a new truck. I'm nowhere near new truck payment money repairing mine. I'll keep it for a while longer.
How much is your payment?

Bought my 13 cascadia in Sept of 17 , 511k on the clock and financed it for 4 years .
Paid it off last June.
Year 1 was pretty trouble free .
Year 2 was a complete inframe ..new apu ..new clutch etc etc etc .
Year 3 . Non stop emissions problems ...problem permanently fixed .
Year 4 to present very uneventful and just turned a million miles .
Sure glad I'm not in a position of being forced to buy a truck now and this one is Good for many more miles the way I maintain it .Last Call, Siinman, JonJon78 and 1 other person Thank this.
