    2020 5700xe ,17307hrs 542,000miles , DD15 505hp , Dt12 oh1 hd12 trans , 68'' high rise sleeper , 13,300 fr axle , 40 rear $61,000 . I understand a mechanic cant really give anything but a general thought on this . My question , is this truck worth it if no major problems with engine and trans ? Understanding that tires are about 60% good . Thanks for any input .

    Run away as fast as you can. 17,307 hrs. are way to many. In July I bought a 2020 Cascadia 419,000 miles, 8079 hrs. In my search for that truck, I found many trucks with the kind of hrs. like the one you're looking at and just crossed them off the list.

    Not every truck is going to run 60 miles an hour down the highway all day, every day. You really need to look at the application it was used in to see the complete picture.

    Yep. Or in applications where they're pulling hard all day long but aren't driving very fast.
