Starting to think about replacing my truck

The '22 Mack Anthem I have coming in 2 weeks was ordered middle of February. The original build date slipped out about 6 more weeks in the mean time, due to parts shortages.

I got lucky on my first one last year. Right time right place. I happened to walk in right when another guy, who had ordered 8 trucks exactly like I would have spec'd, only took delivery on one of them. I got the last of the 7 he didn't buy, so the other guy had done all the waiting for me.

 

Just wait to you find out what sniffy Joe’s retroactive capital Gains tax is on inheriting a property from your parents.

my father just hired a real estate attorney to put his property in a trust , so the property won’t pass to us, just ownership of the trust. Thus no taxes .

 

You’d look so nice in a chromed out 389. Make sure you think this through.

 

Times have changed I wanted to pick mine up at Chillicothe and was told I absolutely couldn’t do that…….

 

I ordered my Volvo 860 in May of this year. It was scheduled to be built in November but Volvo had a strike going on this year. Now it is scheduled to be built the end of January 22. If anyone else cancels ahead of me I will get that build slot. I added the 500K extended warranty on for aftermarket and engine as well.
If you can find a dealer that has already one being built I would try to get it. You can change pretty much anything before the build is being done to make it what you want. Prices are going up for next year as well.
Also I am gonna try out the this time. I normally do not set in the truck for more then ten hours and drive 500-700 a day when out. I added the Solar Panel to it as well to help a little while parked and home. Hopefully it will be good enough to do what I need it to do.

 

Wouldn't surprise me if they did charge more for a 13. I'd still go for it though. What engine spec are you going with?

 

Huh, I’ll have to check it out. August is here already so shouldn’t be too much longer. I’ll let you know what happens.

 

I don’t know how much you care about fuel mileage but with fuel increasing I’d stick with the auto. My 13 speed does about .5 mpg worse the the autos. Plus resale will be lower on the 13 speed for sure.
