Why do so many Americans hate European trucks?

So please explain to me once more why there are so many 50 tonne AWD drive tippers driving around here, and why a 35 tonne 6 x 6 Ginaf is a very normal 'small' tipper over here?

Trucks are far more fuel efficient

 

So you have personally spoke with every person that has ever bought one of those garbage trucks you're talking about?

You must be very busy chasing all those guys around to talk to them about their trucks. Kinda creepy honestly

 

According to what I read they are not allowed that kind of weight over there. Looks like 43 tons gross is what a 4 axle is allowed. Am I reading this wrong?

 

So, just how many "Old Tatra 315" trucks are there in the world? And you didn't say that they set up a productions line, you said they are refurbishing them. Big difference.

What do you mean, it seems? Either there is a total of 400,000 or not, which is it? That would be an average of about 5400 pear year....WOW.

And your knowledge is based on? Oh yeah, a keyboard and a screen. Real hands on there Bucko. While no mechanic, I DO work on MY equipment and trucks, and have a grasp of what maintenance is like. I doubt your hands know the difference between anti-seize and KY.

Another stupid statement. In the post that I replied to you implied that the only reason these trucks have hub reduction is because of a powerful engine. It's the application, not the horsepower, of course.

Ah, so you know every customer since 1945, and that none of them ever had to replace one of these rubber boots. You are not worth further discussion.

 

Because Netherlands has got completely different weight regulations, rest of Europe has them very strict (like Poland), and when buying new truck, you have to consider that at some point you will have to sell it. Specing something "universally" is better for re-selling.

So why I see them all the time?
