    Need to buy a brand new truck!... But which one?
    We have run several International 4300's over the years.. It seems that they have had more than their fair share of problems and troubles. We have a 2005 and 2006 both with less than 200K miles on them. We joke that we have to have two because one is always in the shop.

    What is a good alternative to the International 4300 diesel flatbed? Would a Ford F650 or maybe a Freightliner causes us less headaches?
    What class 6 truck would you reccomend for a round town delivery truck? We do come close to the 26Klb a good bit.
    Thanks

    Can't go wrong with a KWhopper. I see lots of companies are using KW straight trucks.

    I deliver a lot of new trucks and for the medium duty I like the Mack rides good and you can get it with a cummins engine.
