Why do so many Americans hate European trucks?

do you know how big are alternators,
mb use 3x 150a 28v

 

I know can carry more volume, but has to be GVWR reduction with smaller hubs and 17.5 wheels or not?

 

No, this is a 44 tonne (97,000 lbs) semi.

 

No, sorry. I suppose there are options, and I have seen that there are 185A alternators. Unfortunately the Bosch online catalogue is down at the moment.

 

dont know exactly how big are tires here, but it provides 44t on 6axles and this is ok.

lowest production tires in europe are:
355/50 R22.5 for front, 17.6k lbs
315/45 R22.5 for drive axle, 25.6k lbs

lowest trailer 22.5:
455/40 R22.5, 19.8k lbs

lowest 19.5:
445/45 R19.5, 19.8k lbs

lowest 17.5:
205/65 R17.5, 17.6k lbs, they are mostly used for semi-low loaders and open deck trailers for oversize loads at 50mph

i would not recommend anyone to go below 245/70 R17.5

 

So Let me get this straight the American company (Paccar) came to the rescue of the Dutch company (Daf) that was in financial distress....,,,

We should of let them sink....,.,

 

Video @Caesar posted says tag axle is 4.5 ton. Look like 17.5 wheels to me.

 

All the tyres on this truck were specially build by Goodyear, so they are not of-the-shelf tyres. The tag axle and the trailer axles indeed have 17.5 inch rims.

 

Special legs like Forrest Gump said Lt. Dan had! Sorry, I had to! What size and weight rating?
