Freightliner unveils big rig

They can't be serious with all that crap on that truck are they? And forget blowing a tire just wait till the guy comes to change a tire and it takes him 2 hours just to get the fender off. If I the only way I could make any money was to drive a truck as ugly as these new fuel misers everybody is comming out with, then I quit

 

Ummm, Let's see, one curve too fast, $3000.00 or a grond off front bumper, miss-judged backing into a dock "incident" (front fender, mid fairing), $3000.00, Blown drive tire, fender, air bag, "mud flap", $6000.00, bet it;s time to buy stock in the Mexican Freightliner Corp. & a side line in the tire "Road Service" business!!!!!

 

What are they trying to make it look like.....the bat mobile???

 

How about having to chainup???

 

That is one of the ugliest setups (drive fenders) I think I have seen. Like someone posted, imagine what road service will charge to deal with that, easily add two hours labor to the call.

 

Maybe they're held on with snaps!

"Snap offa you, Snap onna me!"

 

Put --> S W I F T on side of it = TOTAL LOL

 

• I don't like that matte black finish, makes it look like cheap plastic.
• If it's not gonna shine then it needs chrome. Chrome makes everything better.
• A rig is like a brick on wheels. It's still not gonna get more than 9 mpg so making it appear aerodynamic is a waste of time. IMO

 

Truck is ugly don't like it looks very cheap they ruined a great set of rims and tires fenders are just plain retarded they don't think before designing just stupid.

 

lol i guess i'm alone in thinking it looks ###### as all hell. i wonder what the projected fuel mileage would be on that thing?

it's kinda all for naught... the majority of the drag and wind resistance comes from the huge pocket of negative pressure that rides along behind the trailer. they'd get much better gains figuring out how to deal with that.
