Which truck is most reliable.

You answered your own question.

Older well maintained wins.

 

Saw a youtube video the other day about this ol bull hauler thats been running his 359 pete since he bought it new. Truck had 7.8 million miles on it.

Looked better than most of the crap on the highway.

 

Hi Dieseltu, too late, the war's begun. Just kidding. This comes up a lot, and there are so many variables. To be perfectly honest, from what I've heard here, most new trucks are pretty much the same. I'm a Peterbilt fan, had several, so naturally, I'm going to want a Pete, but most trucks do the job today. The problem comes when people use the wrong truck for the job they're doing, and don't understand why it costs so much to operate. (and repair) Electronic bugaboos plague many new trucks of all kinds nowadays. I like older trucks, but I always fixed my own, and wouldn't touch a new truck.
Find out what you want to do, hauling wise, and go from there. Different trucks work better in certain jobs than others. Personally, I'd buy an older truck right from the owner who is retiring or updating. They can tell you everything they did to it. Good luck.

 

Dont happen to have a link to that do you?

 

Lemme look

 

Your options vary depending on where you run. If you go to CA older is out, and it won't be very long before everybody else jumps on their bandwagon. From what I have seen and heard, Detroit seems to win the reliable contest. I used to be in love with Cummins, but they aren't so great any more. There are some old Cats around but they are heavy, noisy and expensive to maintain. Choice is yours. Good luck

 

if you drive this one in GOLDEN STATE you will be stopped and you will get 2-3 life sentences without parole for sure ))
