Northern Illinois
I am biased..... If it ain't a Mack take it back.

Seriously though. All the new trucks are junk IMHO. EPA ruined trucks. I would look for a pre emissions truck.

If you need a truck that isn't going to get a ton of miles fairly local and cheap. I will argue that nothing will last, be as tough or good off road as an old R model. They are NOT fancy. You CANNOT get a 550 cat in them. They do NOT have a lot of room in the cab. They DO go anywhere off road and run forever.

If I wanted a little better riding/driving truck I would look for a 97 or pre Mack CH with an E7350-400 in it. The old mechanical E7 is a great engine. Some of the Mack E Techs in newer trucks had cam and injector issues. I forget what years. I believe like 01-02s. The VMAC motors weren't bad they are still an injection pump engine but have electronic control. The E TECH is an ECM motor.
