I will bet that a good class 8 with a million miles on will still outlast a class 6 with 100k miles on it by 2-3 times
My thoughts EXACTLY!
Once in a while I find myself looking at what might be a "good deal" on a MD truck for my future rig, then realize that for the same, or LESS, money I could get a Class 8 with ALL the above-mentioned advantages. What a reality check! It ALWAYS comes back to the obvious choice: CLASS 8!
I will now humbly (well, sort of) climb off my rickety soap box and shut up. For a while.....
