Well, there are Trucks and there are trucks. This is what I'd like to have for my next service/farm truck.

IHC Just started selling
THIS and they are retailing for about $110,000 with a DT466, 220HP and several transmission choices. It would make a really sweet race car hauler. Just what I need, a $110,000 truck, $50,000 trailer, all to pull a $3,000 race car. Yep, sounds about right.

I bought this truck and trailer about 10 years ago. 1980 IHC cabover with a 435hp Detroit and 10speed. 42" Timpte grain trailer. The trailer is a '92 model and it cost me a little over $14,000, the truck was in very good shape and only had about 350,000 miles on it and I got it for $6,500. Both will still bring close to that today even after 10 years.

Cabovers are ALWAYS cheaper than conventionals because they ride a lot rougher sitting right over the front wheels as you do. The guys that make their living every day in one hate cabovers. For our use, getting in and out of tight elevators, it's perfect and we don't do long hauls.
A 5 year old conventional with about 600,000 miles or so will bring about $35,000 depending on all the things that used vehicles depend on. A new truck, with stand up sleeper, 500 hp, 13 speed, air ride suspension and cab, the whole enchilada, will be in the $200,000 range, but that price varies widely because the equiipment varies so much.
