Why do so many Americans hate European trucks?

can you post link where did you found this.

scania truck engines are 6.7L 280hp, 9.3L 360hp, 12.7L 500hp ( soon more), 16.4L, 730hp ( soon more)

 

Seats look to be adjusted close to the dash . So someone my height would have the seats all the way back.

 

hm anyway with vertical cabinets behind seat there must be some wasted space, if they put bed just after seats it and cabinets behind, or made inclined cabinets this would help little bit.
in euro trucks, storage compartment under bed is protruded even partly below seat

 

So 13 inches wider to the out side ? Loose 2 inches in the doors . So 10 inches wider is worth more the 4 extra feet?

 

Now I wonder what would happen if you actually would run that thing at high speed over the autobahn. Experiences from the past makes it likely it would fall apart.

 

The PTO I use is fine for the power needed for the blower, it is the transmission rating for torque on continuous use is to low. Most Fullers are rated at 500 ft/lb at continuous use. The Enduarant is rated for @ 95 HP @ 950 rpm min. The PTO I use is 275 ft/lb and run blower @ 2000 RPM.

 

We also have under bed storage. Most I seen they notch the bunk for the seats in the EU models. Where I found the engine page , I went though many sites looking for the width. Freightliner used to have optional cabinets that extended through the back wall and filled the space between the stacks . Called it the backpack.

 

Why the roads are that bad?

 

i usually put pto with 2.2:1 or similar for compressor. largest ones with 15000+$ can run at 1.7-1.8:1 or similar.
