Extreme Veteran Posts: 333	I'm thinking of buying a used larger truck (bigger than the one tons-like Freightliner, etc). Do these truck have special needs? Hard to find places to service them? Maintenance cost vs a one ton, etc. any input is appreciated.

More bootie than waist! Posts: 18425 Location: Riding Crackhead.	I have a full sized Freightliner. I'm lucky that my hubby and his family own quite a few semi's and do most of their own work on them so for me its very handy. You'll have to deal with things that you've never dealt with on a dually such as air brakes. Tires will cost a lot more but they last a lot longer. Prices on semi's are quite reasonable. Remember, on a pickup, if it has 100,000 miles its high but on a semi you can get them with 500,000 miles and be considered low miled. Catch my drift? LOL

With the full size trucks you can at least rebuild the motors. In addition you can buy the full size used trucks for a fraction of the price
