I bought a high end 1997 40ft DP 6 years ago. 8.3 Cummins, Allison, etc. I have been in many NEW entry level DPs that aren't near as well made or equipped and it tows my heavy car trailer over the mountains just fine......only problems were a failed radiator hose and the throttle cable broke. Both were pretty simple to fix. I did replace the radiator just because the cooling fins were failing and I didn't want to get caught on the road if it went out. I have driven it 40,000mi and would love to get another newer one but its paid for and it works just fine + at 76 years old why do I need another one?
In America, it's seldom a question of need and more so of want, especially with big boy's toys.
