2012 Kenworth K200 Cabover Baby!!!

nice cabover.

I'm surprised, it is not rebaged DAF XF105.

What engine? tranny? I suget like in DAF, Paccar MX + ZF as tronic.

 

they are testing now 105 in australia with engine about 550

probably again 560

 

Really this KW is the different thing. Yep, KW cab shares some details with XF, but it it complittelly different cab on longer wheel base chasis and Argosy and renault magnum entrance style. Really I hate this kind of entrance.... It is kinda you throw all stuff from your hands into cab and after that you climb inside. Handle are dirty and you got dirty hands every time you ar in out.

As I can see floor is not flat like in XF, yep, it lets use tall ISX engines, but.....

Anyway I sugest this KW200 is cheapper XF105 and I'd offer it in Europe.

IMO, some sweet US trucks euro specified may be a good offer for EU marlket.

I'd tried to sell Argosy with new OM471 engine, International 9800i with ISM Euro5, Business class series with OM906 and OM926. It seems to me these trucks may be cheapper European semis and may be a good example of low cost trucktor on EU market

 

The US got away from COE due to relaxing of overall length laws. THANK YOU. Don't mind driving one but as far as OTR; they're terrible. Getting dressed laying down ain't no way to live. IMHO.

 

Everybody here wants a conventional I guess. I think that K200 would have a market here though. I don't get all that jazzed about cabovers but I like that one. When I was a kid there were just as many cabovers as there were conventionals why that all changed, the market? I dunno...

 

yep, I guess Europeans want conventional trucks too, but the low is the low.

The T700 is the result of an incest incident where a T660 made hot monkey butt love with a T2000 and they chose not to abort the offspring.

 

Yep, now I see I'd prefere other Paccar product. DAF.

DAF cab is much better. If daf 'd be available with Cummins it would be greate truck!
