    I have a 1984 scania 142 and that has 2 point cab suspension, compared to a 4 point suspended cab it's quite rough on bad roads also there is alot more vibration in comparison, I don't think anyone would buy a truck here with 2 point cab suspension

    I have to agree. Just example of Mercedes Actros with V6 and V8 engines only.
