Why do so many Americans hate European trucks?

Yes you may. You can even fall off a chair. If you don't understand that stepping sidewards on top of a ladder is more dangerous then stepping straight into a cab, then you can't be helped I suppose.

 

Nice.....

 

How many North American COEs have you climbed into?
I drove them for a number of years and never had a problem, but I prefer conventionals.

 

Exactly. While i prefer my hood, getting in and out of an old cabover is as simple and easy as tying your shoes. The only people that think it is inherently dangerous are the same people they make warning labels on toasters saying do not immerse in water.

 

Sorry, but I couldn’t see most of the current flip flop crowd getting into one....


But I didn’t have any problems with my F700 Mack....

 

They're all 12 volt with the exception of the MX powered T409 model. .Which has 24 Volt Engine & Chassis Electrics & 12 Volt Cab electrics..
Kenworth Australia sources their MXs from Europe. Whereas North America has their Own Factory..

Just as an side point. IVECO Fit Cummins ISX/Signatures to their Powerstar Range & the whole Truck is 24 Volt..

 

Great, but when you search back in this thread, you will find comments of NA truckers who wrote that getting in the cab of a NA cabover is somewhat dangerous.

 

Kinda brings a tear to my eye......

 

You should wear a climbing harness to clean that windshield....
