Why do so many Americans hate European trucks?

The american way looks lower to me.



De Rooy, even with the very specialized trucks, needs permits for 4.30 meters overall height to transport the DAF XF's, or other trucks with high cabs.

 

The new Defender will also be out on 2018, or perhaps 2019. The body of the old Defender was made of aluminium, and it seems teh chassis of the new one will also be made of aluminium. Will be interesting to see the new G wagon next to the new Defender.

 

That new NA way may be lower, but in Europe you could only pull one tractor unit in that set up because of the length limits.

 

Another way of transporting three tractor units with a day cab:



A clip abot that company:



and about a competitor:

 

Boy, that looks efficient.

Any idea about the weight of the 375 without the undercarriage?

BTW C18 was a factory option for Sisu Trucks (Finland)

 

I think that a fully dressed 375 is around 170,000 lbs., and the counterweight, track frame, stick and bucket add up to around 70,000 lbs., so I would guess that he had around 100,000 lbs. on.

 

Can't you ask Winnebago if they can put a fifth wheel on one of their Class A diesels?
