This is what I am thinking about for my next truck.
Hino 338CT
I will be upgrading my trailer too since I have outgrown it already. For those that don't know. Right now I have a 2008 Ford F450 and a 28' gooseneck trailer that contains my mobile shop. I do on-site maintenance and repair for different businesses with construction and utility type equipment. Business has really taken off this year and I am asking a buddy of mine to come help me more and more often. The problem is my trailer isn't big enough for two people to work out of.
I will likely move up to a 40' with dual tandem axles and air brakes if I move up to this style truck. I will also add bulk oil tanks and dispensers along with some other upgrades. My biggest problem with my current trailer is not enough storage space and it is tough for two people to work out of one toolbox.
A little more background on my current truck. I bought it less than 2 years ago with 40k miles on it, it just turned 100k earlier this week. I could go spend another $40k on a used F450, $60k on a new one, either way they will be used up in 2-3 years or go buy a real truck that will last me 10 yrs. for $80k.
