Scania NexGen T-Cab

[geoffo]

I knew it wouldn’t take long before Vlastuin made a T-Cab out of the new NexGen Scania…

You’ll have to watch the exhaust on yer legs when exiting/entering the cab surely ?

It blows your feet dry when entering

Not a Scania fan, but I do think this doesnt look to bad, on the other hand, would never pay a premium for something like this, it doesn’t pay extra per mile, it doesn’t add space for the driver, it doesn’t give more pay load, but it restricts what trailer you can pull.

So the BIG question is, What does a T-cab add■■?

I’d drive anything for the right money. Besides I didn’t say I hate it I just wonder how people justify spending inordinate amounts of money on a bonnet

Euro trucks attempting to ape American conventionals look stupid daft. Always will do. Fat stock euro cab with a wide hood glued ungainly on the front attempting a half arse narrow like the American motors just so they can have small fenders. The ridiculous short wheelbase giving the overall appearance of moving a grand piano on a canoe.

It’s the lorry version of those Lambo kit cars in the 80s and 90s you’d see on council estates where someone had mullered their ford cortina on the front drive and used Bostik to glue wobbly panels onto what’s left. It’ll never be a lambo so stop pretending.

It’s ridiculous, at least the Tcabs produced after they ceased production were copy’s using Scania parts of a Scania design. This is nothing, it’s just and idea somone has made up. It’s not even something Scania would produce, an S series T?, if Scania produced a T it would be an R cab height at tallest, with the engine under the bonnet they wouldn’t need a cab with the floor 6foot in the air.

If you think that is a bit simple simon, look at one of the older ones. Looks like a friggin spaniel

Rooofffff!

Over £220,000 apparently

Looks even more pig ugly. Why would you want a bonnet or a hood for the yanks. Why on earth they want them in America baffles me anyway. The big disadvantage is getting round corners or out of tight turns as you can’t get the windscreen almost on top of the obstruction to go as far forward as you need as you have 6 feet of unnecessary crap in front of the windscreen. And as said the length restriction over here.

Amen!

I quite like seeing the occasional T-Cab - they’re a bit of a novelty and probably because they’re outrageously expensive, tend to be kept looking very spiffy. Certainly more interesting than yet another XF Euro 6 with a polished exhaust box!

This new one doesn’t look very nice, in my opinion. I reckon Scania ■■■■■■ it on the new R and S-Series by making it look too much like a bin lorry, and relying on the company having a livery that suits the shape.
