Why do so many Americans hate European trucks?

in scandinavia they often dont order AC in vehicles, to reduce problems they might create due salt

 

Screw that. Ac is not optional. Sure otr doesn't get add hit in Scandinavia as it dies here. But it still gets hot enough. A single day of 75+ degrees is hot enough that the truck is getting ac or i ain't buying it.

 

If you remove AC from order it almost do not change price

 

You need ac for defroster , defogger

 

Webasto, heated windshield works good

 

I can promise you that there every truck in scandinavia has ac.Here in the north of Sweden we almost never order the roof mounted one. But the factory installd one for sure.

It took me one and a half year to read this thread-so now i have to learn to write to...


And yes i am a truckdriver

 

i was going to say I haven't drove a truck without ac for about 30 years , and hope to never again drive one .
But I live in Florida we use ac in January

 

Here In Australia, you will only see Tridrive trucks in heavy haulage or Mine Haulage.
The suspension of Choice is Either Neway. or Hendrickson Primaxx. which both give excellent axle articulation..

 

I'll give the euro's one.... they know how to make snow tires



I've got 2 sets of these......

 

How much load on the tridem, and how much load on the steering axle with these trucks?
