Why do so many Americans hate European trucks?

There's nothing rational here...... the big corporations do what they want. If it ain't their idea and doesn't help their stock price.... they don't want to hear it.

 

No corporation made that driver leave his brain at home that day and forget to push the latch down.

 

Ya, but those Pindle hooks were designed what 50 years ago...?

 

Seem to remember those hitches were allready in use in WW2.
So that would make it 80y.

 

So was our fifth wheels. And they work great. Newer and more expensive does not equal better or safer.

 

We should be living like the jetsons by now .....

But that's another thread .

 

Yep and they still work.

 

Some people want CHANGE just to have change . Wonder what their reinvented wheel will look like.

 

Back in 08 people just want change just for changes sake. I started asking about the leaky boat . CHANGE , let's blast a hole in the bottom of the boat with this shotgun to let the water out! That is change, not very bright , but it's change. Certain people did not like me ... Too bad.

 

I think they call it the signature truck.
