  1. Thank you for talking about some of the different options of commercial trucks that I could choose from. My brother and I have been thinking about starting up our own little business where we would need a couple of these to operate, so this information will be really helpful. As you talked about, the Mitsubishi truck seems like it would be a good choice since it is heavily relied on by many different companies around the world. Thanks again for the post, and we will look into buying one of these!
