    Hi I have a 2015 Freightliner Cascadia with 1.1 million km. I bought last year in April and until now I have spent lot of money fixing the truck including both nox sensors first after that changing one box. So now I am thinking of selling my truck. So shall I buy a brand new 2022 or 2021 Cascadia or shall I buy a 2003 Freightliner and rebuilt it. I am planing to work on my authorities so I need a reliable and fuel efficient truck.

    New 100%.
    Trouble will be finding one to buy.

    I think you answered your own question in the last couple sentences of your post. And we all know fuel isn’t going to get cheaper.

    If your concerned about the amount of money you're spending on a truck... just wait until you pay 150% for another truck upfront right now.

    There was a thread posted on here a couple of days ago for a 2019 for................. $315,000.
