It's amaizing how much they do with the little sleeper cab. I can only imagine how that Actros cab would look if it was built with a big sleeper like the Scania longline.

They'll sell u any length tractor here u want, unlike the states most trucks here are made to order, you generally can't buy them off the lot, guys with truck mounted cranes will have longer ones to accommodate the crane for example, like this one, this has an extra axle For the weight of the crane: http://www.mvcommercial.com/images/P/DSCF9608 [800x600].jpg

Or this one which has a similar wheelbase to the one I have: http://www.mvcommercial.com/images/P/DSCF9608 [800x600].jpg

 

the functionality of that cab must be designed by lego/ikea...lol.
such a small space, but thought out wisely.

Scania Man, whats your take on merc trucks? I was under the impression they weren't anywhere near the likes of Scania or Volvo

 

Now you're just showing off!!!!. Theres nothing sweeter than a quad steer.
New Zealand has got to be my favorite spot for trucks, all the cabovers and Quad steers.

 

If you'd park one of these MB Actros between a new 2012 Argosy (only availeble in Australia) and a new 2012 KW100(AU) you would think that the Argosy is 50 years old and the KW 100 years old.

Ya man! Sweet truck!

 

Yea man, they got really neat stuff in NZ, but........they drive on the wrong side of the road and the driver seats on the passenger side.

 

Try this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2G-HHfOL5I&feature=youtube_gdata_player

I think the wheelbase should be long enough with this chassis! Lol

 

now that takes the cake.
