Deere-est Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Nicks maybe you can tell me, why when there is no sleeper cab are the chassis so long on the trucks? Seems like a ridiculous length of truck when there is so much dead space between the cab and the trailer causing wind drag Although, it's a mean looking rig and a hell of a trailer, what is she 52ft? Tag axle I see too, that can't be too common? 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeredriver Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 Tris the truck used to have a sleeper but it was taken off at the dealer makes the tractor about 1000lb lighter wind drag dont mean cr@p here mate alls that counts is it looks cool 50ft trailer a lot of lift tags on ripple axles here saves on tire wear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Don't think they are anywhere in the USA compared to the conventionals, Ol. Although Frieghtliners Argosy proved a big hit in Aus and NZ it's production in the USA as far as I know has ceased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wstarcummins Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Sweet 379!!!!!! Too help answer part of Deere-est's Q, here in the states a longer wheel base truck also has better ride. We also dont have the length laws like Europe does.......here in the states we also have a thing bout if its a long wheel base truck.........its much cooler! Here is a good example of a show truck here in the states, Peterbilt 379...... Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
