Why do so many Americans hate European trucks?

I'd like to know how far the king pin is set on euro trailers , maybe a real euro trucker , could answer that , most of ours are about 36" , this could also be an issue

 

What distance do you mean with that 36"?

 

It's about the short wheelbase , I assumed two drive axles , one drive axle would be totally impracticable .
Having to make a trailer just for a new euro cabover would also be impracticable it would need to be able to fit under a trailer , without moving the fifth wheel so far forward (to load the front axel ) that the frame would contact the landing gear

 

This is what I mean no offense but any trucker would know this .
It's the distance from the front of the trailer to the king pin

 

You mean from the king pin to the front of the trailer? That would be 63" in Europe, if I'm not mistaken.

 

Yes, I figured that out. It is defined as a radius in Europe. You have to draw a circle with a radius of 2.05 m (80.7") with the kingpin as the centre. Everything at the front of the trailer must be within that circle.

 

When you start digging it just creates more issues , when a driver told you a euro truck sold in NA wouldn't be a euro truck anymore this is why , it would be configured very differently .
Then the worst problem still is where do you get it worked on , there is no parts or repair network set up to service all the new systems .
If they would use our components and your cabs then maybe , but that's not going to happen .
So even if there was demand for cab overs and there isn't , how do you get around the rest of the issues .

 

I knew the king pin setting was way different just by looking at the pictures , everything you do there is to maximize load on a short overall length .
It's hard to get around that and make your truck work here when we don't have those restrictions

 

Cut to the chase and tell us what truck would you want to haul across AU....?
