We're planning on purchasing a carrier by fall time. New or maybe used if we can find something that is no more than 2 or 3 years old in really good
condition with low miles. I've had experience with the International 4300's , Freightliner M2 , 6500 Dropkicks and Hino. All of these trucks were great
especially the older model Topkicks and the new Hino's. Although i have never had any experience with the F-650's they are really catching my eye.
What are your opinions?

A used truck can be good or bad depending on how it was treated by the previous owner. If you buy new or used buy what you can work on, or what your mechanic
or dealer can work on for you. Buying any type of truck that the nearest good service and parts is 100 miles away will be a problem the entire time you own it.
Good luck.

Pete or Western Star...But as already said the truck is only as good as the dealer and the parts availability. Don't buy something that you cant get worked
on close.
