    any idea why lower bed is only 80cm in XG? extra 33cm could be used better (like 90cm), volvo has 1065mm wide

    Nothing to brag about being more powerful than a Daf engine ……..

    PS what the recharge time… 48 hours?

    I guess no, if Volvo can do that in eu shortest cab than it should not be a problem

    Still the worst truck cab on the market.
    Zero comfort and lots off backpain.

    I would not say worst of all, but considering it is premium product cab is very bad for standard and worst piece of truck. Even renault has way better cab (imo).

    I'm sorry, what?

    Please don't get me wrong, I do own both FH (glob and glob XL), also Daf SSC. If you tell me, that Volvos cabin is worst on the market, then I have no words..

    Reallity is, even if you take SSC cab on Daf, there are no storage space really, you need to use upper bunk as storage. If you do team driving, then you move all the stuff back on forth from bed to floor. You can easily fit in a Volvo XL. Comfort wise there is just no comparsion to Daf.

    Interior of my new ones : single bed, big lockers, middle high cab, more than enough really.
