Big rig questions

[Lonestar10]

I honestly wouldnt look at a semi for a camper puller not because the license thing but because to repair vs a F550-650-750 type truck the repairs/preventive maintenance/wear items are way higher in price tags that those type of trucks.

1 Tire - 400-600 if you get a single rear axle thats sill 1600-2400 dollars for a set of drive tires and 1200-1300 for a set of 2 steer tires.

Engine Parts - Turbo - 2500-5000 dollars, injectors 500-800 each, oil changes 280-400, air bags - 50-150 each, batteries 150-200 x 4, brakes....havent had to do em yet dont know price, air dryer maint 50-200, air line maintenance from leaks...endless


all in all its 10x harder to keep a good safe running semi on the road. than a pickup based heavy duty 550-up. and honestly i havent seen a camper yet that a well serviced and taken care of F-350, Ram 3500, K3500 cant pull with ease. besides that 12v cummins should feel like the trailer fell off even if you were dragging a house behind you the engine lives forever and can surive a healthy upping in power.


and either turn that autocorrect off or drop the diesel noobness its cummins not cummings ;p "poke poke"
