    i doubt Paccar designs and builds their own engines, but maybe they do?

    They were originally made by MAN from Europe. Paccar redesigned some components and now builds them at a plant in the US

    Wrong.
    MAN has nothing to do with Paccar.

    They actually design and build them.
    There are design and testfacilities in both the USA and the Nederlands.

    Well, that is good to know. i still don't trust them because they are new. i would go cummins if i go with a Paccar truck. Can you get a Detroit in a paccar truck?

    MX 13 has been around since '06.
    So depends on what you call new.

    Personally I'd stay away from any proprietary engine and stick with Cummins, Detroit or Cat.


    ETA. I guess Detroit is pretty much a proprietary engine these days but Freightliner has such a huge dealer network getting service wouldn't be an issue.
