    You guys I'm tired from looking for used truck for me everytime I found one
    Some stuff comes good with truck and stuff no good I mean the truck spaces
    For example good engine good Hp
    From otherside ratio not good or the wheelbase ..
    Today I found one I which be good
    Cascadia 2015 DD15 Detroit
    HP 505
    Dt12 speed
    Ratio 336
    Wheelbase 236
    I like the engine pretty much good and the Hp nice and transmission awesome but You can tell the ratio 336 not good on mpg And will climbing up kind of weak pulling 53 reefer or dry van

    Seems like pretty generic specs to me. It'll be fine.

    Yup those seem like good specs. Go with 295/75-22.5 tires and you should be good.

    336 isn't a very tall gear. That means when you're cruising up and down the Interstate or 400 series, you'll be doing just fine with your MPG.

    Take that same truck into northern Ontario with a loaded tandem and bring it up some bush roads; then you have a bit of a tougher day.

    350k mileage
    Cascadia 2015 DD15 Detroit
    HP 505
    Dt12 speed
    Ratio 336
    Wheelbase 236

    Go to Ritchie bros. website and check out prices from the last couple of sales in Toronto and Montreal.

    ^^he is right. RB auction is a good place to see what people are willing to pay for trucks.

    We just bought a pup(dump trailer for tri axle truck) from the Toronto auction. Paid 18000 with taxes. Had to put a new hoist on it(4K) so we have 22k invested in a trailer that is mechanically fit and good to go for a trailer that people are asking 35000 for any day of the week.
