Don't Buy a PeterBuilt, Kenworth or Freightliner...Until You See This

What happens here

The speaker concludes by addressing the cost implications and overall value proposition of Autocar trucks. While acknowledging a potentially higher upfront cost (around $10,000 to $15,000 more than competitors), he emphasizes that this investment is quickly recouped through significant long-term savings. These savings stem from reduced maintenance and repair costs (due to non-proprietary parts and accessible diagnostics), less downtime, and a longer vehicle lifespan (twice that of competitors). The speaker stresses that Autocar's strategy is to build the most durable trucks, leading to better resale value and overall operational profitability, rather than competing solely on initial purchase price.

Goal: Understand the long-term financial benefits and value proposition of investing in an Autocar truck.

price-wise, we are higher, though. Yes. Right? I mean, you're how much how much extra are we going to pay for this Autocar Quint versus a Peterbilt or a Freightliner or a Kenworth? Obviously, depending on specs, but you're going to be about 10 to 15. 10 to 15 grand higher. >> Yep. Are you going to be able to make that up in maintenance or repairs? That's the whole idea. You're going to pay a little bit more up front, but over time, with the ease of maintenance on these things, or not having to buy the $1,200 headlight, you're coming back ahead rapidly. I can see where that 10 grand up front Diagnostics, you don't have to pay $400 every other week to see why which fuse is blown, you know? It's tells you right on the right on the dash. >> Even Ford is doing that now. Right. Like my headlight goes out, and I'm stuck going to Ford to get a freaking Ford headlight that costs 100 bucks instead of a light bulb from NAPA that I could stick in and do myself. >> Autocar doesn't want that. They want you to be able to repair your own truck, stay on the road, make money. That's the whole idea. I would pay the extra right out of the gate. And the 10 10 grand is nothing on a dump truck. Especially since the truck's going to last twice the life cycle of anybody else's. Remember when I said stop and make sure you watch this video? To me, as a trucker, growing up doing this, these all of these things were the difference of being up uh maintenance uh uh the the the cost of of operating. All of these things were just a a huge difference. Did we cover everything? I pretty much so, yes. All right. What about if guys want pricing on these trucks?
