Why do so many Americans hate European trucks?

Been on some trips with the Iveco Stralis (happily that truck is sold now, probably the worst truck ever) witch has about the same idea in the cabin and I absolutely hated it. If I want to take a fast nap when I have to wait some minutes i don't want to rebuild a ####### cabin. To leave it down is no option. Don't want stuffs all over the cabin just because I have to break fast one time.

Also where do i put my laptop, should be standard to leave a place for that, it's 2011.

 

you can get actros with normal cab layout and in this solostar

 

I still like the American volvo. Like this one in HOLLAND.

 

nice looking but i would not like to reverse this trailer with such long wheelbase on truck

trailer need to be longer

 

The US Volvo is nice but nothing I would want to work with. If I can chose self I take a 19m norway truck. It's so ####### fun to drive, feels a little bit like a old e30.

Something like this, if trailer have been 4 axel it would be perfect

 

I had one TATRA 815, 6x6 dump truck, lockers on all 3 axels,Air-cooled V10 engine, pulls good considering it had no turbo engine, made in 1985. Idependent suspension is good, handles realy good.

Tires...well, most of time we busted them on sharp rocks. Excellent work horse. 12 ton payload limit, but no problem to take even 20 ton of wet crushed rock.

Drivers comfort....hmmmm....NON, but at the end of the day you could pressure wash even interior with no damage

 

I've never seen this configuration in the USA... it is like converted truck, becouse it is 6x2, so with ECAS, it is combo, may be BDF. So seems to me this is built in Sweden VNL but for European standard ore converted, like we use to convert US and Russian trucks to solo 20' container haulers, like this KRAZ 260 trucktor with 20' container.


Ok, very unusual truck from Argentina, GAZ-3309 converted to trucktor, ore it is domestic modification... The irony that GAZ makes no heavy dutu trucktors, and what is the modification?????


two 20' containers on flatbed. what is the axe load with containers full of stuff????

 

But that volvo drives here in holland.

 

It wont be surprise if you find headlamps with ECE pattern and yellow rear dir. light.

 

it is definitely not original but some kind of conversion ematra made one for austrian customer

but i would still not like to reverse it

trailer is too short comparing to truck

is this vnl670 or 780? i cant see window but il looks to longer me than 670
