Maybe I should be looking for another type of truck. With that weight the insurance will be high.
we dont do a lot of hiway driving but some, So maybe a 416 Diesel with radio box ??
Or Maybe I should stick with American Trucks

Well, there is something to be said for having a truck that stands out in your case' cause it would help draw attention to your business. For this a Mog would be AWSOME even though not as practical for use as u would like.

That being said; other MB trucks can be found with a "serious" search that once you get it decked out and in service for you might draw as much attention as a Mog would. I think they have the same engine in them as the 416 but different tranny's and rear axle. (non 4wd). Practical speeds still in the 55mph range but dont have the trany issues etc.
