    No, they can't get around the corners. When I see videos of US semis negotiating a corner, and I look at the way streets are build in Europe, then I now they can't get around the corners.

    The paccar dealership techs are not allowed to make decisions on what to replace when it's under warranty.

    Paccar corporate tells them what steps to perform to diagnose the problem. And then what to replace.......

    I've seen this first hand....

    No, European cities were not "designed", they grew. They had to be compact, the cities had walls around them. Streets were for pedestrians, people on horseback, a few barrows etc.

    You can not agree here and disagree in one of your last post. You were fussing us manufacturers offered too many choices , thus allowing US to get the truck we need.

    Been holding on this . The other day you posted about how bad the US plants are. Yet fools at Mercedes and BMW have US building cars. Ferrari has US building engines. Honda and Toyota have plants all over the US. Silly Japanese . Do you not know what you talk of ? OR there are fools running Mercedes , BMW , and Ferrari. One or the other!
