    Gentleman, could someone please tell me how much a Freightliner FLD classic XL with a C-15 cat motor would be weighin in at? It seems right now like this could be the most bang for my buck, some nice 2006's out there. Appreciate other feedback on this vehicle, as well. Thank You

    Fuel efficiency should also be on your list. If a FLD gets 5-6.5 mpg and a century gets 6 - 7.6 mpg, what truck will help you have more money in your pocket at the end of the year?

    I too originally had desires of the Classics till I was faced with reality. Granted too poor to buy so I can only rant.

    wow, I've got a 265" wb W900L, 62" standup, C15, 13spd that barely weighs 19.

    Oh and don't believe the fuel mileage hype, a friend has a classic and he can get 7 easily. It's all in how you drive and what you haul.

    Guys I hit yall with a thanks I really appreciate it. Shopping all factors, ins, keeping all things in mind, this vehicle would have a warranty. Would be a reliable vehicle, once inspected for blow by, and ECM, etc. Yes the Cat is a low RPM progressive shifter, but it can pull anything.
