New Freightliner Argosy

why not to sell localized version of MP4 worldwide.... really good cab....

 

That is the most awesome looking truck! I envy you down-under folk. You get the cool trucks!

 

They are very comfortable, I feel better after driving then I did in my kenworth. And my sore back is almost a thing of the past.

 

Does your Argosy have the typical Freightliner rattle that everyone whinges about?

 

I'm not a FL fan, but the Argosy straight truck I drove (30 ft box) was the most comfortable truck I've ever had the pleasure to drive. Nothing like the 93 Internationals JBHunt had when I first started trucking.

 

Still not in the same ball park as euro truck comfy, something I really miss about trucks at home, these American trucks ride a little hard for an old guy like me lol

 

No rattle, it has noise but less than my kenworth had and my kenworth was very well maintained, new shocks, new cab shocks, bushes, etc etc.

 

Sounds good. Freightliner doesn't really have a good rep down here (mostly from the KW cowboys lol), but, I guess it comes down to how well you maintain it.


Also, just a question, What diffs are in your truck? Are they 4.10's or 4.30's?

 

well I'm big on maintainance, bit of a perfectionist i guess, which sometimes is very annoying but I would rather do maintainance then have a break down. The diffs are 413,s just under 1700rpm @ 100km / hr

 

You'll be right as long as it doesn't spontaneously combust like freightliner's seem to do for no reason.
