    Anyone whose ever had a houseboat or a camper or motorhome , knows that NOTHING is left just laying around. Every item is secured before you roll out .

    and yeah the fridge and microwave and tv etc should be safely secured.

    If you define comfort as feeling like a bobblehead, then so be it. Fantastic technology in braking systems and traction control, but driveability and feel for the road l'm not convinced
    These trucks have been designed for 50 mph speed limits, and at 700 hp you're driving experience is similar to driving a car. I'm not convinced that they will be well received here.

    I don't know her and I don't care about her feelings.
    Does this make me the bad guy?
    Please stay out at the range to your heart desire. Life is short.

    Scania V8 770 videos:





    @Arctic_fox, @Oxbow you don't know until you try one.
    Enjoy the videos. All trucks are Air ride all around.
    I don't see any bobbleheads driving one.
    It's a comfortable and powerful truck.
    The set back will be Navistar & International dealers network.
    They are a disaster waiting to happen.
    The heavy trucks brands dominating Europe in 2022:
    Daimler, Volvo, MAN, Scania, Iveco & DAF.
    Mercedes Actros just kills it in the domestic market and globally too.
    Their service network is second to none.
    Volvo service in NA is a sinister joke.
    I mention Volvo because I know them better than other brands.
    The others are pretty bad too.
     
    Bean Jr. Thanks this.

    I have watched them during hard breaking/cornering. The cab moves around so much, thus my bobblehead comment.
