Ford vs. Dodge

Apple vs Windows

Blondes vs brunettes

Real vs fake


Same kinda question. What would I buy if I could buy anything? Kenworth T800 with a 625 Cat. My buddy that I work with? Western Star 4900FA with a Cummins.

Ask a hundred drivers, get 78 different answers.

Mack for everthing though Western Star runs a close second with a Cat.

Best what? Money-wise it would be an older tractor(pre-2003) with a 11-12 litre engine in an aero tractor.

But that may or may not be the most comfortable, and may or may not be the most reliable. There's too many factors.

Six to one, half a dozen to the other. It depends on how well it was taken care of, and many other variables.
