How much is a brand new truck in Europe and Australia?

I wouldn't drive a Euro truck in this market unless I wanted to make a statement, I never seen one with a large sleeper and most of the drivers over there look like they were starving.

We pay more for a lot of reasons, one is safety and the other is that they don't make their trucks to last.

Australia is an exception.

 

Our (new) trucks last? Humans are supposed to look like that! Not any other way!!

Do we pay a lot more for our new trucks because of unions? Or because our dollar is less valuable?

And the fact that we pay (PAY big time way beyond the simple sticker difference!) to test R&D for the rest of the planet!

 

I never read so many stupid bullsitt in one posting.

Try not to sugercoat your responses Coyote! LOL!
Long haul in Europe is what 200 Klm? I think the machines would be different given those differences.

 

See we are happy being 20 years behind and free than socialist sheep.

Your way of life is different than ours.

You wonder why the feeling of superiority? Because we have had to come save your butts twice.

 

Lol you miss a 0

 

I can never understand why every friggen European on this forum acts so high and mighty about their trucks being sooooo much more advanced. Just like those guys in the "Why do American's hate European trucks" thread. I can appreciate the trucks from over there for what they are but to say our trucks are 20 years behind is pure ignorance spewed by truck drivers that don't know #### as far as I'm concerned.

 

You answered your own question, methinks.
