Any of these trucks with 500k is about at its end of life span on engine. I own a Volvo. It’s a nice truck to drive. Just be ready to spend a bunch of money after you buy any of these trucks in this mileage area. I bought one with a reman in it and thought I was ahead of the game. China head put on at a dealer when rebuilt. Now I have a inframe one my hands. I got 150 thousand out of the head. My advice is buy a truck with a bad motor start off with your own rebuild make sure the liner height is right. Put new dpf filter and you should be off on the right foot. Buying a running truck will put you a good 30,000 to much money into it right off the start.
