Is there really anything wrong with your current truck? Your payments will go up, your fuel mileage will go down, and your reliability will go down.

And the maintenance on the DPF is a nightmare too.

Not all companies will lease on a 2001.

Ha Ha I misread the thread title, I thought you were looking to buy a porn star.

i say the one with the cummins. the maxxforce might be great (havent heard much about them but have been seeing a lot of them) but, its the same with that, the volvo, mbe and paccar. i like a motor where it does not have to go to a dealer to be worked on. just the way i look at it though.

Go with the ISX motor. I've been averaging 7.3 mpg in the KW 660 pulling a mix of weight loads from 27k to 45k. This truck has a regen system and I've had no problems with it yet. The jakes are the best I've ever had.
