Why do so many Americans hate European trucks?

Now that you mention it, i remember seeing NJ on the door.

 

really any EU cabover is easy to specify for US market.

1. Use longer frame to reduce load on steers
2. Install DOT specified lamps
3. Use 12V outlets for trailer
4. Flashed for EPA engine ECM
5. Use US wheel hubs.

 

did not hear for this, Thelmo have one white r620tl 6x2

why this?

 

i try to tell why. in USA it would be easy to find a rim on any yard if rim was damaged.

US and EU rims differ, they share lugs, but patterns r different.

 

Yeah hard to imagine being able to run v8's legally in the US, a t620 ?

 

In Alberta the weight limit on the steers is only 5500kgs, there's no way you'd get any scania (unless p210 daycab or something)below that, way too heavy on the front

 

I know New Jersey is the best place in NA to spot a scania, most we're sold in that area, still a rare beast in that part of the world, they'd be very old by now! you don't have any pics by any chance? The r500's I was referring to are more modern and much larger and heavier,can't imagine anyone's running them in America legally but a Canadian friend of mine swears he saw two decked out in a New Jersey firms colours

 

Euro pattern rims have a larger diameter "stud ring " than US rims. Ie the bolts are spaced further out than US wheels

im sure there are more differences

 

Not the one i saw but close enough. These two photos were taken in New Jersey in 2010 and 2012.

That truck looks like it's made out of Lego.
