Good day Gurus!,
Brand new to the M-Universe. all I know about these are what the salesman has said and a week of internet "research"
I had a couple of test drives and I really do love the cab noise level, the trannie, looks, power seems good, turning radius, small things I didn't care for:
only 12 gauges, interior materials fit and finish, No LED head or tail lights (old school), one-way fitting keys
Sooo, I wanted to get your thoughts on a future dump truck before I place the down payment $$$$$
options I "must get" or avoid?, warranties?,
Quick version:
2019 Granite:
MP8 505Hp, M-drive 14sp, M-ride, 4 or 5 axle, All disk brakes, "upgraded" interior, lockers, maybe nav.
*also considering 2019 Kenworth T880, Cummins X15 (performance) 525 hp, 4 axle, Allison 6sp., all disk brakes (considerably more $$$$$)
Coming from a Kenworth 2007 W900s, Cat C-13 380 hp 538k, Allison RDS+4500, 5 axle, 18 gauges!!, offering only $70k in trade:(
this will be my only truck! so uptime is critical to making a living and truck payments.
thanks!!
