    I am looking at purchasing a 2014 Freightliner COLUMBIA, CL112 360hp 8x4 6 speed auto with airbag rear end.. for use carrying concrete agitator.
    Or a Mack Metroliner 2013 320hp 8x4 6 speed auto with rubber rear end..

    I can not find any reviews on these models ??

    Any owners that can comment on these models good and bad.. and which truck would you buy and why.

    Both trucks are new and both about the same purchase price…

    i can't help you with that, sorry. i don't think a whole lot of people look here in the aussie forum. you might be better posting your question elsewhere on the forum to get a better response.

    I have own a freightliner Columbia cl112 8 X 4 for nearly two years, have had problems with tyre wear on the second steer only getting about 35,000 km's out of them, freightliner are supplying tyres until they fix the problem if they ever do. For this reason I would be buying one of these trucks at least until you know they fixed this problem.
