Looking for advice, can’t afford a new truck. Looking at a few trucks from 350000 to 450000 miles on them. What is everyone opinion on 2019 -2020 International with the X-15 Cummins

Buying a used truck is always a gamble. The cummins is a good motor. I would want to see the maintance records on it and an oil sample first.

With over capacity keeping rates depressed and interest rates still crazy I would certainly not be buying anything right now. Equip prices have come down but are still high from where they should be.

At that mileage range it will no doubt start having emmisions issues and those are costly not to mention some parts are getting hard to come by again.

I talked a bit with my mechanic when I picked my truck up this afternoon. He has a 22 Pete in the shop and needs to replace the dpf/scr filters. 4 week back order and have gone up 30% in price from last year.

We went through parts shortages 2 years ago that saw some parts taking months to get.
