Why do so many Americans hate European trucks?

How about the Kenworth 370 or the Peterbilt 220? They have the smaller DAF LF day cab.

 

I need a sleeper and at LEAST 400hp/1450

 

That would be the CF line that was shown. You can check it out here:

I wonder if it would be possible to get it approved in the US.

 

Looks like quite a undertaking . The TC auto an trans is a healthy unit. Surprised they were not using one of their trucks.

 

DAC says up to 510 horse ...that single shaft makes it interesting.

Why oh why are you Euros (Being friendly here...) so stubborn about single axles? You know you want two or three under there. The power spreads would then be awesome in snow etc.

 

Because Mammoet was hired to move the houses, and they use their own trucks. Although there was a non-Mammoet push truck.

 

Sure, in a 6 x 4 configuration. However that is not good for your fuel economy, and for the wear of your tires.
But you can get such tractors if you want, and even 8 x 4 configurations. Did you look at the possible axle configurations?

 

I did. The more axles you add the quicker you drain that 510 horse engine.

I live in hope and prayer we rip out one of those German Merchsmetts and drop a 1200 horse tank desiel into the thing. If you are gonna truck, by god let's go. This wading pool is for the birds.

 

Well, it's the same engine as in a Kenworth or Peterbilt.

If you ask Tatra, they will build one for you.

 

@x1Heavy you'll probably like this clip. Those 7 axle loggers are very similar to what was used almost exclusively in Western Canada before the mills went to short logs
