They are not the cheapest on the market. We have been running 65 toyota's in our warehouse for 10 years and have very little down time. Mostly just tires and PM's. The only major failure I have had is a transmission and that was caused by pushing. After talking to the owner and telling him how much it cost we don't have that problem any more. I change trucks at a rate of 5 trucks per year running them to about 12000 hrs.The 7 series tend to get a little hot when in a confined space and no air movement. Hopes this helps.

Fact of the week
Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
