Why do so many Americans hate European trucks?

Part of the reason may be to improve visibility when plowing at 50 mph, and aiding in keeping snow off of the windshield.

 

I did not check the specifications for any of them, but I was a somewhat surprised by the Merc price.
I expected the Merc to be higher. Price is including VAT





Renault Alaskan:

 

For that small difference i would take the Merc.

 

here prices are different quite significant, but they are not same as for example citan

 

I have some more on snow clearing.

To start with, a farm tractor with a snow plough. These are mostly used on small roads, bicycle paths etc. Most of them are owned by agricultural contractors, who are hired in wintertime to do this kind of work.



Then we have a Dutch invention, the Snowcuber snow compacter:





And finally a clip of our national airport Schiphol, comments are in Dutch, but you get a pretty good picture of the machines in use. By the way, the snow is handled like chemical waist, because of the anti-icing fluid from the aircraft that is mixed with the snow.

 

Not invented by a Dutchman....

 

Wow. My fully loaded XLT F150 was less than that.

 

When ready you can get busy. Put out both wings be three lanes wide.

 

We know. Don't rub it in......

 

So $72K usd.....?

But you get health care and 10 weeks vacation with that pickup.........
