9400i Eagle

[lenutt]

I bought a 9400i three years ago and I couldn't be more pleased with the truck. I have heard so much bad about them that I was hesitant at first. This truck has the 470 h.p. Detroit Diesel engine with a 10 speed transmission. This has been a very good combination with good fuel mileage and pulling power. I have had problems with the truck as you will have with any truck, but it is manageable and my service costs are low compared to others. I put 150,000+ miles on it per year and it continues to serve well. The truck has a good ride, short turning radius that allows me to get in very tight spots, drives good and is comfortable. The one complaint that I have is that I would like a little more storage room. This is a midroof condo and some of the storage has been taken out to provide space for the second bunk.

I have heard the stories about low trade in value. But one thing you need to think about, is comfort and ease worth more or less than trade in value? If I have to drive a truck 3 or more years I want to be comfortable. If I have to suffer through 3 long years with an uncomfortable, hard-riding, difficult to drive vehicle then it isn't worth it. That is just to have a high trade in value so that I can get top dollar for it and then trade for another vehicle that I will have to suffer with for another 3 years.

I have drove the 9400I before there is not anything wrong with them, plenty of power and room and comfort.
I think it is a very dependable truck, and they look good also. I hope you have good luck with it for a long time.
I think everybody wish's all the trucks had more storage space in them.
