Wouldn't touch thing with 10' pole.

Most commercial trucks like that sit and idle...the miles may seem low...the hours on the engine however...

I wouldn't go near it either. I was working at a Freightliner dealer around the time this was made. From what I remember the cats were a huge pain in the *** in this body style. I would be less weary if it had the Mercedes engine or the cummins. I had a service truck with the Mercedes engine and that thing was a beast. Honestly though, if I were shopping in this segment I would look for an international with the DT466.

Someone will buy. I could definitely see a contractor in my field picking it up. Its priced kinda high IMO though.

 

[redthies]

All valid points. It IS a good concept, but $18,000 seems a bit steep. Most medium duties are 1/2 that price around here.

CAT C7 is good, this was before they went to the EPA crap-ola. They can easily touch 350hp if you get someone to tune it, CAT will only allow that 350hp into RV's that have already paid the luxury fees to the EPA. The allison is good. The PTO is for what?

Alot of vehicle but not really usable, maybe for a tech that would pull off a component and then use the spec bench??? I never felt the need to do that sort of thing, I always take notes and bill later at the office, so that table looks neat but isn't really good use of that area IMO.

There is not a lot of external storage that is accessable from the outside.

The commercial rigs are always high in cost, but few buyers ever pay what is asked IMO.
