    Of course they are cab overs. With a very few exceptions, all European trucks are cab overs.

    I can say the same about some Americans, and folks from any of the other countries I have drove in.
    Not narrow minded though, so I can normally find decent folks anywhere.
    As far as the trucks go, how many have you driven exactly?

    Filters shouldn't be a problem, mostly because they only use two. One oil and one fuel filter. Cyclone cleaner does a good job. Anyway since the Marine side is represented in the States it shouldn't be a problem to find parts.

    An FH12 is a Volvo of course. But if you really want a Volvo, go for the FH16 with 750hp.

    Why do so many Americans hate European trucks?


    one of the few times that I am not being sarcastic,really,what does it matter? who cares if Americans do not like a european truck? until we have our freedom of speech and then thought eliminated,Americans have the right to say and think whatever.I don't like european trucks. i could care less how advanced they may or may not be. as of right now,we are not being forced to drive one nor are they going to be inundating our roads and highways anytime soon,if ever.

    the OP seems to be really hung up on something that matters not-
