Why do so many Americans hate European trucks?

We can flex some also.

 

I like to see some of the Oskosh trucks from the Military sent to OTR work. Then we can really flex and deliver into crazy terrain.

 

Seems like ours six to one ... Darn Freightliners seem real popular !

 

Like this one?

 

Sleeper is rather small thou...

 

Interesting pictures. The third one looks like a British Scammell truck.

Now look at this pre-WWII DAF invention, the Trado:







After the war it was further developed into the DAF H-drive:



In this clip you will first see a pre-war DAF armoured truck with the Trado system, and then the DAF 328 army truck with the H-drive (and some other DAF army trucks)



By the way, there are some DAF 328 trucks in the US, and the small DAF 126 truck can be seen quite often in Hollywood movies.

 

not magical but it change things


not bad considering it is low chassis, cranked front axle, low clearance under rear and tag axle,and most of components are on ground

truck on your photo is tatra, far most superior truck when it comes to traction

 

Some trucks (like the Unimog) can switch from forward to reverse and the other way around very quickly in order to go back and forward very quickly without to much wheel spin, and that way you may get out too.

 

unimog goes forward and reverse it have something called eqr, normal trucks have rocking mode on gearbox that release clutch and allow truck to go in opposite direction

but in this case with such high load, it is not smart to do anything but park and make concrete stabs

 

Seems like they need to lower the air pressure and lock the diffs...
