you did not even mention if the truck is properly spec'd for the work you intend for it. That is as important as anything else. For example, 500+k miles on a truck that is geared too tall for the weights its hauling = a million+ miles of accelerated wear on the engine due to over-working it and lugging it to an agonizing death. Not only that but the thing will struggle to get out of its own way when heavily loaded, and not be too good on fuel mileage vs. a decent driver who knows how to control their right foot and far better gearing.

What type of freight, what regions?. is it a mid-roof or high rise?, rear axle ratio?. etc.etc.. all of this is far more important than price and simply what engine it has.



As far as going thru one ... maybe this helps...
