Ok I'm looking at Freightliners. I found one, a 2005 with 325,000 that was a fleet tuck. It has some warranty left. They want low $60's for it. It has 435/515 HP. Then I found 2004 Freightliner with around the same miles on it but for about $15,000 cheaper. The only thing it has a 375/430 hp.
I plan on pulling reefer, most on the east coast, though I'd love to get out west. I'm based out of florida and a lot of the freight will be from there (no hills there). How is the lower HP? I was told by one person to stay away from it, but I don't know much about this. How will this affect my MPG? What exactly should I be looking at?
Also the bigger engine is a 14. L while the smaller one is 12.7. I don't even know what this means. (I hated auto shop.)
Can anyone give me some advice please?
