I have seen several posts indicating that the poster would rather have an older model diesel, prior to all the emission control devices, but it seems every year we see improvements in tow ratings and fuel consumption. So, if the new trucks get better mpg and have higher tow capacity, what are the benefits of looking for used vs. new?
I drove an older 98 Cummins 5.9 12V for the past 16 yrs, no emissions, no computers, no problems. Just picked up my new Cummins 6.7, all computers, all emissions, no turning back, but it's also 2x the truck. Lots of improvements, but not in mpgs.
