Trucking in North America vs around the world

Here the T680 is currently a hit with the MX-13, and our regular weights are between 106.000 to 115.000 lb all year long. Another ones that are selling quite good are the New Cascadia with the DD13 450, the Mack Anthem with the D13 (MP8) and the Mercedes Actros with the DD13 (OM471) also.

Note that also, the Hino SG1A is a very popular truck over here for heavy duty up to 90.000 lb, and it has a 9l engine with just 350hp.

What’s the speed limit...? We can do 65-70 mph all day long ........

That takes hp......

 

Up to 45 Tonne (99,000lbs) the 13litre would be the predominant Engine size. There's even a Fair amount of 11litre Engines in that Mix.

Over 45Tonne (99,000lbs) is the exclusive domain of 15 plus Litre Engines..

 

50/60 mph depending on the road. But our country is mostly mountains, so we have very low average trip speeds. Anyway, anything with more than 450hp is quite rare over here, and the vast majority of the linehaul trucks here have the ISX CM570 with 400hp (Kenworth, paired to an RTO 15 speed) or 435hp (International, with a RTLO 18 speed), and 4.3 or 4.7 rears.

 

Here's a nice one. Ex ATK bed truck.

And Fuel..........

 

Time is money too.........

 

I bet they’d asking more than $200 thousand for that truck.... the prices on those things are crazy.
