    Usually you can buy different levels of warranty. You can get the engine warranty for 600,000 miles or 48 months and you can get just parts or also can include the labor. Then you can get extra stuff the a/c warranty and other things it just depends on what you want. That's factory warranty.

    I know a guy he got a Volvo and paid $6,000 extra for their best warranty. I think it covered just about everything because he had the Volvo engine and transmission. It was like 48 months or 450,000 miles or 18,000 hours.

    Freightliner and Detroit don't have hours limit and will go up 600,000 miles

    Not correct. We have 750K BUMPER TO BUMPER warranties.

    From the factory I never heard of that, how much did that cost. I know you can get 750,000 on drive axles and transmission but I never seen 750,000 bumper to bumper warranty

    It's rolled into the price of the truck, so I don't know the cost.
    I do need to correct my earlier statement tho, it's 700K, not 750K.

    The only thing not covered is tires, batteries after 200K, and I'm going to assume lights (non LED ones).

    Freightliner really caters to John and gets a hell of deal and passes that on to the drivers. I think the purchase price is really good for how the trucks are spec'd.
     
    Brandt Thanks this.

    You mean the warranty comes including with new trucks price or you need to pay separate for it ? For example new one $125k with warranty or before warranty

    All new trucks have s basic warranty. Used trucks may have a warranty too if the mileage or time have lapsed.
