Kenworth truck
Kenworth
Running 57 years
$11, in stock
A log hauler bought this Kenworth new in 1969, in his early 20s, and drove that one truck for his whole career. He put about 3.5 million miles on it. The current owner has had it two years and runs it for work every day in summer with no mechanical trouble. It's on its second engine, a bigger one that went in in 1987, and the new owner gave that engine a preventive rebuild right after buying the truck. There's no emissions equipment on it, and at the end of a day it has burned less fuel than the newer trucks on the same run. Parts are easy, because old trucks shared them across makers.
High beam switch: $375 and a two-day wait for the new truck. $11, in stock, for this one.
