I have a M2 M112 business class. I will never own another M2 again. To light a duty truck for expediting in my opinion. They start to rattle quickly. They have far too many cheap plastic parts that break easily too. IF I ever buy another truck it will be a class 8 truck. No class 7's or 7.5's for me again.

It was discussed in many threads the class 7's just don't go the distance...class 8's were built to be million mile trucks and built better on average...

M2s are class 7 trucks.

Congrats on the truck but my truck can't do anything that yours does better :cool:

Did he buy this one? I though he was asking advice. Hope I did not screw up. I was not out to tick anyone off.

If I were to go to a straight truck it would be a class 8,best reason you can keep it for 10 years at most carriers,class 7's they want you to get rid of it in 5.If your running on your own authority,then still class 8,it will last much longer.
134000 for a straight truck,hope you run with your wife,thats alot of revenue you have to make to pay the bills
