2005 STERLING A9500 – CAT C13 ACERT – 385 HP – 10 SPEED – TANDEM DAY CAB SALE PRICE: $14,900 Good-running 2005 Sterling A9500 tandem-axle day cab powered by a Caterpillar C13 ACERT diesel rated at 385 horsepower, backed by a 10-speed manual transmission. Showing approximately 800,000 miles. This is a straightforward older Class 8 truck that still makes a lot of sense for farm use, grain hauling, local trucking, construction or as an affordable backup tractor. It has the drivetrain a lot of buyers are still looking for: CAT C13 power, manual transmission and no modern DEF system. VIN: 2FWJA3DE05AN60038 ENGINE Powered by the Caterpillar C13 ACERT. CAT C13 12.5-liter diesel 6-cylinder Turbocharged 385 HP Engine brake Electronic engine controls ACERT-era Caterpillar engine Pre-DEF configuration The C13 is the main reason this truck deserves a serious look. It is a true heavy-duty Caterpillar engine and is a good fit for agricultural and regional work where you want a relatively simple older drivetrain. TRANSMISSION 10-speed manual Heavy-duty road transmission Conventional clutch/manual-shift operation For farm and vocational work, the 10-speed keeps the truck simple and gives the driver plenty of control when starting loaded grain or dump trailers. CHASSIS Tandem rear axles 6x4 configuration Full air brakes Class 8 chassis Day cab Heavy-duty frame Fifth-wheel tractor configuration Dual rear wheels Power steering Commercial mirrors and convex mirrors Roof clearance lights Comparable A9500 tandem tractors commonly use a 12,000-lb front axle and 40,000-lb tandem rear configuration, but I would not enter those exact axle ratings in TractorHouse unless we verify them from this truck's door tag. CAB This is a conventional day-cab configuration, which makes it especially useful for farm, local and regional hauling. Equipment includes: Air conditioning Heat Driver's seat Passenger seating Full instrumentation Manual transmission Large exterior mirrors Convex mirrors Air brakes Engine brake Trailer air/electrical connections Easy-access steps MILEAGE Approximately 800,000 miles That is certainly not low mileage, and we aren't going to advertise it like it is. At the same time, these trucks were built for heavy commercial service, and condition and maintenance become more important than odometer mileage at this age. The truck starts, runs and operates well. CONDITION Overall, this is a good working Sterling for its age and mileage. It shows normal cosmetic wear from commercial service, including paint wear, surface oxidation and normal chassis wear. It is not being represented as restored or cosmetically perfect. The important part is that it is a complete, good-running CAT-powered tandem day cab that is ready for somebody who needs usable truck capacity without spending late-model truck money. We encourage buyers to inspect the truck in person, start it, drive it and look it over themselves. WHY THIS TRUCK MAKES SENSE There are cheaper Sterlings on the market, but many are Mercedes-powered trucks, non-running trucks or units needing significant work. This one gives you: CAT C13 + 385 HP + 10-speed manual + tandem axles + day cab That makes it a logical truck for: Grain hauling Hopper-bottom trailers Farm use Feed hauling Fertilizer hauling Dump trailers Construction Local freight Regional hauling Seasonal agricultural work Backup truck Yard/plant work For an operation that doesn't need a $75,000 late-model tractor to haul grain locally, this is exactly the type of older truck that can still earn its keep.
