    of course they have but i mean on cabinets, our storage below bed is moved forward as much as can, to use all space.
    our cabs are well engineered to maximise all available space, gigaspace have 37.5qft of storage space. considering that most drivers dont spend more than 5days on road is good. your front of cab have use only to drive not to live and with cabinets your space is separated. of course usa overall it provide more but could be used better. here we have different layouts of cab to convert it. some trucks dont have passenger seat at all. but use some kind of convertible seat. different brands have/had solution for that.

    Some are separated , some are not . The Cascadia has swivel seats so you can kick back like a recliner at home .

    Is 2.21 overall ratio with planetary hubs or just ring and pinion? Must pics I see of European trucks use planetary hubs.

    Remember a few weeks back someone was all about the Mercedes branded pickup. Yet a few weeks before was saying pickup were silly and not needed . Even thou the Ford F-150 is the best selling vehicle in the world. And I am not a Ford fan.
    But on a side note I am sure Nissan was thrilled that Ceasar has pronounced there quality is as good as Mercedes.

    I guess that's why you need all the nanny systems over there. Too many drivers standing in the middle of the cab instead of driving.
