Why do so many Americans hate European trucks?

Those are factory, you pointed them out last year...

 

Again I have had them here . Were ok trucks , but not up to our standards.

 

yes. US trucks. imported from USA.
This is the forum of Russian o/o-s who drive USA trucks in Russia and in former SU countries. форум об американской грузовой технике Гудвил - Главная страница Moreover these guys are smart ! They all drive trucks that were made between 1995-2007. No emission junks ! If you don't believe me check them out. There is a guy here by nickname Pablo UA. He drives former Schneider truck in Ukraine.

 

No. they don't have it.

 

If I remember correctly 7 by 16.5 and the big 8.75 by 16.5 . In testing the bigger brakes passed the stopping distance rules , that were ment to force air disk use. The bigger brakes are more exposed from the rim, run much cooler. But drivers that know what they are doing , never get their brakes hot.
Ran air disk on one of our 1987 trucks . Know they were a much earlier version , but they felt like you were never going to stop. Truck go sold quick. Hotter they got the worse the were, faded bad.

 

Yes i took high school physics. Everything you said is common sense crap that everyone knows. except one thing: you are wrong about disc brakes. You do not have maximum braking power when they are hot. Disc brakes glaze over just as easy as drum brakes. I'll keep my drum brakes and drive with my brain so they never over heat.

 

The concept of independent small business is foreign to them. Sure a few exist but it is a very rare occurrence.

 

Agreed.

 

And just as importantly keep more of what he makes.
