truckingtopics.co.uk/widdowsonstralis.html

Anyone driven one yet?

Had a first generation stralis 55 plate for nearly 4yrs won’t keen at first but grew to really like it don’t think you’ll be dissapointed

Shame they couldn’t punt for the wider ones, I think the narrow ones look naff.

Widowsons ready last years had one Iveco for trial .may be like him.but any way Iveco better for scania.at l least for me like more.

Would not want narrow cab

Probably because they are ■■■■ and you can see nothing in the mirrors apart from the neck of the trailer? But if you do want to see something that isn’t within 10 yards of your cab you have you snake the trailer to see further back down the road.

If thats the case,they are not fit for purpose and i am suprised they are allowed on the road.

I may be exaggerating a tad :slight_smile: but they really are awful and your vision is certainly impaired.

Funnily enough,i am considering a visit to Spocsavers.

Me too, they are 1 of the ugliest truck models on our roads…Spocsavers it is then.

They’re a gaffers truck I suppose, I’m not being a badge snob, I just think the narrow ivecos don’t look pretty, the wider ones look well though.

Think it has more to do with them being £140 a month cheaper than a scanny !
My mate is sweating his nads off cause he has an 06 topliner an its due to be replaced… :laughing:

I tell thee now, they’d be more than £160 a month cheaper than a Scanny.

£140 even…

awful looking truck
