What would be your dream truck?

Had to do a few emergency stops at roundabouts, due to the mirror set up on Volvo…had to eat humble pie and give cheery wave, sorry and mouth “sorry i am a blind idiot” :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

For me the FH12 Globetrotter is about the best, I cant really see how it can be improved other than the instalation of a crapper in place of the passenger seat. The driver seat is about as comfortable as you can get, the bunk is much the same (best nights sleep ever), what more could you wish for?

Tiger.

fh globetrotter , phaaaaaaaa, more like del trotters van :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Well I would have the Topline looks, the old grs 900 gearbox, a fuse ya can pull and a serious sound system.

Kev

a fuse you can pull ■■? can you please explain on that one kev■■?

hiya,
daz " fuse you can pull " i think you will find refers to the speed limiter circuitry i know this was also on a MAN a pal of mine owned, bet somebody corrects me, thanks harry long retired.

Anything that the EU do gooders are not allowed to regulate.
Size…big enough to live in.
Speed…no limiter.
Tacho…not fitted.

A Daf that’s the same sort of spec as a Volvo Vt880. would be nice.

Scania V8 Topline for looks, power and sound. :laughing: DAF XF Spacecab for living space and bed comfort, but with Volvo build quality and I-shift.

I have to admit that the new top of the range M.A.N TGX looks good. However, I’ll await fellow members opinions on this latest model, as we don’t have any M.A.Ns in our fleet.

same here.
would pretty much be my perfect truck, as long as i have the volvo seat and dash.

like others have said, i’d also want the toys, lcd tv, with surround sound, plus facility, too hook up too xbox live, when on a night out.
flat floor a must, plus fridge and microwave, comes in handy too.

our lot have the facelifted m.a.n’s. seems ok too me, def a step up inside, over the previous one, alot more, sort of audi/bmw car feel too the dash and trim, the stereo is cracking. personally though, i’d still make the screen, and steering wheel smaller.

hiya ,
dexters old 8 wheeler with an old trailer to match , why ? , just to see if i still could i guess , would need a trailer mate to give a me pull on the steering on corners but as in the old days i’d get there eventually , just one more time before i fall off the perch , thanks harry long retired.

Something like that would be good enaugh for me.

I know, there is no cargo space on it, but in my dreams I will only drive, no bother with loading and unloading. And sleeping cab seems to be big enaugh for me on this one :slight_smile:

That’s no good for Polish drivers Orys, there’s no room on the dash for the laptop mate :laughing: :laughing: :wink:

This is my dream truck.

A Volvo VT880 with 610bhp motor and I-shift. Best truck on the planet!!!

Watch, listen, dream, enjoy.

No, they would just take one of pains of glass out and strap laptop to the bonnet :exclamation: :exclamation: :laughing: :wink: :stuck_out_tongue: :astonished:

It wouldn’t have bloody " Stralis " written anywhere on it.
