Why do so many Americans hate European trucks?

Lately, I could buy S450 Scania for 88 k E like I told you, now they sold all trucks they had on stock with old tacho, prices are up again, 95k for basic R450. Same with Daf after that huge Girteka purchase, now prices are down again. It changes all the time, need to be fast.

 

we dont have that no matter what happens.
scania had 5000+ tractors with old tacho in europe and they had that temp. low prices too

 

@KVB @98989 have you guys heard anything about IVECO fitting their 16Litre Cursor in the Stralis..???
A Big Banger from Iveco

 

Not there was some talk about that few years ago but that is all

 

Would be a very odd moment to introduce completely new cabs. In about a year time cabs can be made about 50 cm longer for improved aerodynamics. Introducing a completely new can now, and not taking into account that 50 cm extra, is very silly.

The rumour that Iveco wants to bring back the iconic Magirus brand name for construction trucks is remarkable. Those Magirus tippers with air-cooled Deutz diesel engines were famous, almost the defacto standard tipper. Magirus sold many of them to Siberia, no coolant in an engines is very handy there.

Here's a clip with many of those old Magirus tippers.

 

Needs to get rid of that hood and dual(!!!) intakes to be a real truck??? That big air cleaner hanging off the side!! Did they not know the detrimental effects on fuel mileage!!

 

I don’t see how they are able to see pedestrians with that hood.

 

The last of these trucks were sold over 25 years ago, I think the peak of their sales was about 40 years ago.
I know that a 40 to 25 years old truck is very modern in the US, but here they are quite antiquated.

 

It’s 80 miles up river from the ocean. Look it up

 

Yeah I thought it looked very modern and wondered when they might start producing them here.
