Agree; trucks are cheaper to maintain, use fewer parts than the old ones. Hardly disposable. The C500s that are around are hardly running 3000 hours a year any longer, most are in cream puff operations doing low hours. And if you do find me a C500 running 3000 hours per year, lets look at maintenance costs after 12 months vs a truck built in last 5 years. Even a truck built in last 5 years with 10,000 hours on it. Continental/Waukesha vs Toyota 4Y or Mazda FE?
