    780 handling vs 670 handling?

    Just out of curiosity, I'm wondering if the 780 has the same nimble, tight turning and handling capabilities as the smaller 670?

    I have never driven a 670 but my 2012 780 does not turn as tight as my 06 780 did. Still good and can turn back into the trailer if not carefull but not as quickly as the 06 would.

    It can't be as tight with the longer wheel base right?

    not as tight as the 670 but pretty darn tight compared to other trucks.but out on the road 780 with air ride steer with a little wind you are all over the road i would not buy a 780 again unless its for a team run.670 just sits on the road much much better

    I cant say this is absolutelly new suspention. Volvo used it in B series buses. and I'm familiar with this suspention working on european buses. made in Ukraine trolleybuses got this kind of suspention too.

    First of all - too many parts and we have to rebuild it every 200 K

    and this suspention works well with ECAS only (+$1500)
