That Scania truck looks beautiful on the outside and quite spacious on the inside.
TXCOMT Thanks this. -
I commented a couple years back on how i was looking forward to this rig after getting to see the test one in person and got ripped into like a fresh box of bacon steaks in a pit of starving lions. So im hopeful it does well here just to spite those guys.
That said if i dont rebuild my lonestar and go new. And they happen to be out im eyeballing one pretty hard. That sleeper looks amazing and that flat roof and sides eith an EPU are going to be bonkers for solar generationgentleroger, brian991219, TXCOMT and 2 others Thank this. -
That truck was there last year, too…sweet cabover!

Not my post but found this on google if anyone is curious about scania interiors. This is for their longliner.

Longliner with a 770 V8 getting 6 to 9mpg with a modern comfortable interior like this a 3.72 or 4.1 gear ratio big dual 200 tanks and a wetkit would be one HELL of a nice money maker. Also that cabover would be just plain easy mode at some of these tight places i go.
Like i said i really hope they are sucessful. And tbh with how #### most north american trucks are due to no competition this could shake up the market in a good way. Even if not i still like the concept.drvrtech77 and TXCOMT Thank this. -
They certainly are some very nice trucks. I got to see one up close and personal at Walcott and I was thoroughly impressed
-
Nice as they seem, they are still cabovers and I had my fill of those in the 90s. And paraphrasing Ron White, you will be first to the scene of a crash.
BrothaTrucka513 and Tall Mike Thank this. -

Tbh considering how bad and flimsy nose trucks are nowadays.....im not sure there is a diffrence anymore. As for a cabover eh. My current truck the step is knee level so the climbing wont be mich worse lol.
TXCOMT Thanks this.
