Why do so many Americans hate European trucks?

137,8 kph on a NA truck with s#itty drum brakes,are yor kidding?
on the other hand the crashes headtohead must be very spectacular.
please guys, vote for someone who would raise the speed limit to 160mph for trucks,youtube just needs thouse dashcam recordings.

 

Anway what are brakes dimmension in usa,

Here drum brakes are usually 7x16.5inch front rear 8.7x16.5inch

Scania offer 8inch front and 10 rear

 

Here 295/80 are rated for mostly for 130kmh

 

You laugh at the speed. But have you seen Wyoming? You can cross 300 miles and maybe see 100 cars.

 

See the sign leaving town listing how far the next three towns are , and the closest is 200 + miles away.

 

I love coming on the freeway in SLC, going to San Fran, and have the GPS say "turn in 687 miles" 80 and 75 mph for most of that. Giddyup, let's get there!

I grew up in Europe. They have no concept that to drive across Texas, one state, from El Paso to Texarkana is 800 miles, 1300 KM. Can't quite do it solo in one day. That's one state. Or that Arizona is the same size as Italy, or Romania the same size as Minnesota. Or that Germany is the size of Montana. Or California the size of France or Spain. And that we have guys driving across the whole lot of it, and then turn around and do it again.

 

most of europe is populated a lot...causing lot of traffic jams, i dont like that, here it is not too crowded but still too much for my taste

but in part of bosnia where i am from you can drive 100milles and see maybe 15-20 vehicles

few from my birthcity (population 34000), nice place to run from everyday rush, souronded with 7 mountines high from 5300 ft to 6600 ft

before trucks and till 1973 my family was dealing with sheeps, had 600 of them making our famous cheese and selling it to hotels in large citys, my father was living in mountines till he started school, till 17 he was every day there (march-november), than he moved to hamburg germany, he says it took half year to him to adapt himself for so much people

 

during winter

 

Look around the 5 min mark.
Terrible engine access with the cab fully tilted.

 

Cab is not fully tilted.
