Why do so many Americans hate European trucks?

Both trucks with the same GVW, that's what you forgot to mention.

 

Here are a few photos from recent jobs that I have done. Do you relay think that I don't know the answer?

My answer would be based upon my personal circumstances and experience. You have none, and zero credibility.

 

But you still haven't supplied us with an answer, so far you're just claiming you have an answer.

By the way, those photos show an environment that is perfect for mining trucks, they would save a fortune:

 

Go back to the last time we had this conversation. I answered it then, but you obviously didn't remember any of that so there is no point in doing it again.

 

Yes, you mentioned rocks, and stability with these tippers, and guess what. These tippers are used in quarries as well, and they level before they start unloading. Do you think the designers of these things were born yesterday?

 

Stupid dutch..... they got it all wrong.....

 

Apparently you did no read my posting that there are circumstances that an articulated truck will perform better, the very soft dune sand at the coast is such a place.

Here at the river IJssel , mining trucks are in use:

 

Gross weight for what? Not road legal truck?

It's completely stupid to compare it, propably 98989 can answer this question better, but I believe it depends on frame, axles, wheels, tires, gearbox, cooling, cab, suspension, every single component of the truck. Really, every single component of the truck, which can be change during specification. Someone speced the truck in variant a, other is variant b, technical weights can't be compared so easily.

 

You keep claiming mining trucks. While an artic-truck can be used for mining. These are more used for big mining jobs. This is a 400 short ton truck

 

Wow, I never knew that. You don't say. Remarkable. Amazing even.
