We drove the truck from Ecuador to Patagonia and back, shipped from Colombia to Mexico and into the USA. There is not a more reliable, better maintained rig than this one. These engines are good for a 1,000,000 miles or more and are one of the most durable, easy to maintain engines on the planet. Do your homework on these trucks, they basically helped develop Saudi Arabia, Africa and South America and often carried 3x the manufacturers recommended weight rating. I would drive this truck around the world tomorrow. There are no lingering issues of foreseeable problems as everything has been repaired or replaced. I have been truthful and thorough in explaining the condition and reliability and welcome all questions.
