    Might be fun if you knew where you were going all the time, running the same route, and didn't need to stop at Truck stops.

    Hell, I do run the same area every day and I can think of quite a few places I’d never be able to get to with a tractor as long as the trailer. :biggrin_25523:

    It isnt as long as it looks. Slap a big sleeper on it and the wheelbase will look normal.

    I'm sure a 1987 Daf had a far superior suspension, right?

    Not really.
    If you look real good you will see that the KW did 2 bad things.
    1 the engine was pushed inside the cab.
    2 the cab and the sleeper did not move backwards.
    A modern COE will not do either off those.

    On Mythbusters they would say "pausible" but you cannot prove it either way.
