When I buy new trucks for hauling fuel I don't buy anything new. I won't buy anything never than 2006. I have:
2000 KW W9 (Cat)
2005 Pete 371 (Cat)
2005 KW W9 (Cat)
2006 KW W9 (Cummins)
2000 Pete 371 (Cat)
They all run like champs. With some of them a 1,000,000 miles. All the new ones stay in shop.
