Why do so many Americans hate European trucks?

I forgot ......sorry

 

none of that is problem, vibrations can be a problem if truck is being used offroad.
if truck is being used with tipper trailer you should avoid them because they require 1ft longer overhang and when you are unloading semitrailer can pull rear part of tractor up in air and this part of frame will hit semitrailer chassis.

other case when you dont want them but still have to order them:
-at mb if you want to get 6x2 chassis with steering pusher axle for skiploader you have to pay quite much for custom shorter wheelbase and it takes some time for that.

alternative is:
-order 6x2/4 tractor with or without fifth wheel (depending if you want or not want to use it with semitrailer)
-remove battery box from overhang
-cut overhang by 6inch
-buy trailer crossmember
-buy trailer hook 40mm
-extend trailer air/electrics to overhang
-shorten fuel tank by 1ft
-buy/make battery box where batteries are stacked one on other and fit it in front of fuel tank

 

From the Isringhausen website:
"Insgesamt bietet ISRI für das Mercedes-Benz Truck Programm (ACTROS, AXOR und ATEGO sowie auch UNIMOG, ECONIC und ZETROS) über 100 unterschiedliche Sitztypen. Da ist für jeden Einsatz eine optimale Lösung für den Fahrer-Arbeitsplatz gegeben."

 

this is correct, but isri was basic version while grammer was extras.

 

Well, this is the Klima-Komfort-Schwingsitz for the Actros, doesn't look very basic to me:

 

This is my seat. It's made by ISRI. It has heating and massage plus all those other features listed. It does not have cooling. I wanted cooling but they told me you can't get cooling and heating both. Only one or the other. They also said if I chose cooling I could not have massage. So I chose heat + massage. It's a good seat, the best one I've ever had.

 

I can’t believe you’re arguing about seats. Who gives a ####?

 

Those are pricey.

 

Yeah they're not cheap but neither is a chiropractor.

 

Quite a few seat manufacturers to chose from like Bostrom, National, Seats Inc, Sears, Gra-mag and Knoedler to name a few. All have different price point levels and many options.
