[QUOTE="JD3020, post: 1079075, member: 373"] A landscape company i worked for last fall and we've worked with for years has 4 Freightliner FL60's and one FL70. Now they aren't being loaded to the gills, but they get worked pretty good. They have a mix of 5.9's, some Mercedes, and one Cat. AFAIK they'ved had no real issues out of any them, but they are very anal about maintenance. I will say this, the 5.9 trucks i've been in were dogs. Some friends of ours have a excavation business and their only real single axle truck is an 83 F-700, pretty sure it has one of the Brazilian Ford diesels(6.6?). Its had the absolute dog piss ran out of it, leaks oil like crazy, and just does its own thing going down the road. But i'll be damned if you'll ever see that truck broke down somewhere. Hell we were hauling boulders with it early summer, it has a high sided dump bed so i was loading it all the way up to the top just so you couldn't see em from the road. Also had a few buckets of cobbles in it. Put her on the highway and he held it WFO for 20 miles, truck took it like a champ. Only issue we had was one mile from their shop loaded with boulders, hit hole in a bridge doing 45 and the battery tray broke off dumping all 3 batteries. Didn't realize what had happened till we dumped the truck and i heard a sizzling noise coming from under the cab. LOL They also have an 09 Kodiak with a D-max which they don't use much, honestly its more of a DD than anything. I've never heard somebody bitch and cuss about a POS truck so much. :mad: [/QUOTE]
