Is the Volvo semi truck a spinoff of the Ford Aeromax. I thought Ford Motor company owned Volvo at one time. If you owned a Ford Aeromax, how did you like it?

nope, white trucks merged/created/got bought? volvo, no relation to ford in the heavy truck world. never had a aeromax, but had a sterling right after freightliner bought out ford and called it sterling. the sterling I had was a plastic piece of junk, had airliner suspension under it and rode decent but that was about it as far as good.
camaro68 Thanks this. -
Thanks, That answers my question. I wondered what happened to Ford's class 8 division. I didn't realize Freightliner bought them out.

volvo sold their car division to Ford and kept the trucks

i've never owned a aeromax, but i have put a few thosand miles on one. Very smooth rideing truck, i wouldnt want to live in it though lol.
I drive a sterling day cab now (sterling is what Ford Trucks turned into) and it rides smooth but still if it had a sleeper i wouldnt want to live in it lol.

I always thought the Aeromax design looked pretty good. With Ford's quality looking better these days. It makes you wonder why they don't jump back in the class 8 market.

i don't think they feel a need. too many competitors with great experience in that arena. besides USA, Ford is doing great in europe as well.

In the last month, I've put some miles on a 2012 Exploder and a 2013 Taurus. I would buy neither!!! In contrast, I helped my mother in law buy a 2012 Honda CRV EX. Design and quality is night and day. Ford's Sync system is crap.
As for Ford class 8 trucks, nobody was buying them in the first place, and still didn't when they changed the name to Sterling.camaro68 Thanks this. -
Ford sure makes it's commercials sound convincing about Quality. Maybe the only thing they having going for them is the F-150.
