    He’s right, warranty is great! But buying new? That’s not something ordinary people do like us lol. We had a driver for four years, we just sold the truck to him, we’re putting that money down on this one. Now it’s only me and my dad driving. Ima drive this KW for him. I currently make 3200 average a week and he makes the same cause we work together. I think we got this brother !

    If you ever watch Mud Mountain Haulers on TV you'd understand why trucks only last about 5 years around here lol.

    ...i think any truck will be good when its used by owner operator ...drivers tend to kill just about anything ...even best bulletproof equipment :)

    I actually believe that 20 mile or less radius from the mill is what's going to kill that truck..
    Emission engines need long highway miles, & little to no idle to live imo..
