[QUOTE="Rare40th, post: 16338562, member: 143608"] I buy and sell em for a living so I'll try to give you some good insight. I've always been a Pete guy. Kenworth being #2. Resale wise, those 2 hold up the best. In all honesty it really depends on what you feel comfortable in. A lot of drivers/companies like Cascadia model Freightliners and ProStar Internationals because of cab space and turning radius (probably something else to consider). Resale values are not good at all but they are best bang for the bang for Late Model year tractors. Pete and Kenworth overlook the practical things and build a truck for the guy that loves his quality of equipment. For current model trucks, the Detroit and Isx is the most popular. At all cost, avoid Cat motors from 05/06 (especially ACERT) up until their last year, anything paccar motor and certainly avoid Internationals with Maxxforce unless you can delete the emissions crap. Otherwise like Mc01svt said, any Cat 3406b, 3406E, C-15 with serial 6NZ, 2004 model C-15 single turbo, N14 Cummins, Series 60 12.7 or 14L detroit were the best and most popular motors of the last 30 years. The truck markets in the tank right now, especially with the amount of bankruptcies this year. You can honestly pick up a good deal whether at Auction or wholesale. [/QUOTE]
