    Jardel: you can have it for free, it's my Xmas gift to you, lol , I only wish we were allowed that size cab here.

    I don't like that painted dash, it looks cheap and too shiney for the interior !

    with that kind of cab you would need all steerable axles on trailer or drawbar setup nothing else can work well



    with wheelbase like this you need 2 parking spots to enter and exit from parking

    Having experience in driving US trucks with EU trailers I sugest this Scania would not be much less maneurable then average US truck. really I need about 2 additional meters for the same maneur.

    what that mean

    smaller turning circle or larger?

    scania used to offer two wheebases for this model 3900 and 4300mm

    front wheels can be 58degrees of wheels angle , one of models was offered with steerable tag axle

    but what when you dont have that additional meters comparing to 16.5m normal 4x2 truck with 3.5-3.8m wheelbase

    The truck I am driving now is a long wheel base, I didn't measure it but it's double drive and has a 500 litre tank on the left and 400 + adblue on the right, it's longer than most other ones, I'd say enough room for the Longline cab but really isn't much harder than a 4*2 to manoeuvre , easier than a 6*2 midlift

    If it's a tag axle you would be ok, the turning circle is smaller when lift axle is at the rear
