OR...Would I be better off with a 2013 Mack Pinnacle, 263k, 505hp MP8, 10spd, for $29k?
Benefit of Mack would be close by dealer. Freightliner dealer is at least an hour drive.
I "think" the Mack is a better truck, yeah, I now it's a Volvo underneath. -
I'd get the Freightliner. I'm just saying, if you look on Truckpaper.com there are Freightliner Columbia's that year model under glider trucks for not that much money. Probly be a much better truck in the long run, but I'm old school too. Ignore if you like emissions trucks.

If I had the choice, I would go with an older, pre emissions truck, but I don't. No less than 10 years old, all emissions equipment must be in working order.
Knowing that 400k or so is where emissions systems start needing cleaned or replaced, I'm thinking that a low mile truck will give me a couple years before I need to spend that money.OldeSkool Thanks this. -
That sucks that it's the DD13 and not the 15. I'm down to a 2012 Cascadia with a DD15. We're at 545k and no issues but I'm not living in the truck and idling all day

DPF's will need serviced every 150K mile range or sooner.
A truck that's been sitting for 2 years, you got a real good chance of stuff leaking all over the place.
Probably some rust on the moving parts as well.roshea Thanks this. -
I think I'll pass on that one and keep looking. Not real crazy about Frtlnr anyway. -
-
There are a lot of them for sale in the price range I'm looking. I found one with a 450hp Cummins ISX 337k, that looks promising. Penske has them with even less mileage.
Lots of Canadian trucks around 2012/2013 for some reason. -
