and then selling them at auction with 100,000 ... However, their real mileage was sometimes as much as four times the odometer readout

These numbers matter more here. The Cummins/Allison engine/drive-train in these vehicles are otherwise good for 1 million miles before rebuild on average until they are used as delivery trucks. The constant stopping and starting used as delivery trucks cuts that number down to around 480k miles. So they are selling vehicles that will require engine and transmission rebuilds in less than 80k miles. That's very shady. The engine rebuilds are usually around $10k same as a refurbished engine and the transmission rebuild is around $3k. That does not count the cost to install them.

I'm surprised they didn't get caught sooner. If it was _just_ an odometer rollback, it should have been easy to catch something being 'off' from a cursory inspection of the vehicle. The wear on things like driver seat bolsters is very different at 100K miles and 400K miles (and even at much lower mileage) and when stuff like that doesn't match the odometer readings, alarm bells should be going off.

Note that the lawsuit was filed back in 2017, so it seems to have been working its way through the legal system for a few years at this point.

That's actually a seperate lawsuit, unrelated to the class action in the headline.
