I wish that you buy the best lift truck. But I think that you should go to Google and search.

This looks like a nice truck for the money. A friend of mine is looking too and he called them on this truck and they said it came off lease from Don Hummer Trucking in Iowa. They told him they would be getting 28 more 387's in next week, all with Cummins and auto-shift with 500,000 - 525,000 miles.

What kind of weight are you going to be carrying?heavy? medium? How are the roads that you pulling the weight on? I'm no expert,actually looking to buy a new truck myself shortly,but the gear ratios mentioned seem a little high.More like a highway truck.I think I would want a lower gear ratio(3.73,3.90's or maybe 4.10's for an auto trans??

Nope. I am driving a 2013 Columbia glider with a '03 Detroit 60, 2.55 rear, and 9-spd Eaton-Fuller, getting a consistent 7.7-8.2 mpg (capped @ 62 mph) over 73k miles, so yeah... I'd own it if I could pry it out of the company's hands for a reasonable price, but fat chance of that.
