    i have no idea, too many factors are inside.
    think about size of fleet, type of operation. how extreme conditions are.
    how remote it is, is there scania network in that country at all.
    does it include scania mechanics or they need to train local stuff. how much driver training is involved
    is there trade-in or buyback included.
    is there any possible competition to scania

    i am looking, it seems to me that US plow trucks are made much higher than standard road trucks, i would say much higher than it would be necessary to be 4x4 (due differential clearance with oilpan), i think they are intentionally made that high to improve visibility while working with snowplow


    EDIT: when you have awd trucks, are they permanent or engageable?
    how about torque split?
    additional speed reductor in transfer case?
