  That one guy hit the nail on the head… if these trucks come to America the other truck manufacturers will wake up. I hope your efforts pay off Bruce!! I’d love to see these scanias here

  I feel bad for them having to get back in their Flintstone trucks after driving a euro cloud

  &quot;I didn&apos;t want to drive it. &apos;Cos I knew I&apos;d like it.&quot;

  Its almost a little emotional seeing these old US drivers in comfort like that. I may be wrong but it feels like you can just see them relax and let tension out when starting to drive this thing. Theres that few seconds of silence and you almost feel their soul taking a deep breath after decades of bone crushing trucks. I imagine this truck would improve the health of millions of truckers in america

  There is something special to see an old man becoming a little boy again. The way that guy who had been driving 50+ years lit up when he got to feel the comfort and power. I bet he would have driven around the area a few hours if he was allowed to 😂

  when US drivers say that they want to hook up a 80.000 pound trailer to see what the truck can really do, Bruce could say &nbsp;&quot;The Swedes do run 140.000 pound as standard for the road and between the bigger citys they roll 160.000&quot;. and then there is the &quot;specials&quot; in nothern sweden that has some combinations that runs &nbsp;upwards of 200.000 pounds WITH that Engine/Transmission combo

  This is a great example of the effects of protectionism and tariffs policy. Your domestic trucks are shielded from the outside world and it&apos;s competitive market, but also from all the innovations that comes with it. Stuck back in time with bad brand that couldn&apos;t exist outside the domestic market.

  As a UK truck driver it&apos;s staggering to see the US drivers react to our everyday Scanias as a Spaceship . We don&apos;t all get 770&apos;s but the tech , drivetrain and air seat are all standard in the lower engine variants.

  Bruce. Next truckshow. Put a boxtrailer behind it. Load the trailer with Max. Load. Just use concrete blocks, and let them drive it. When they are finished driving ask how it felt and in the end tell them the weight they pulled around, and film their reaction when you tell em the trailer is loaded, not emty.<br>I tryed it once in Denmark. Testdrive a new 500hp scania 143. Back then the strongest scania made. It was hooked up with a dumptrailer. I could feel it was loaded, but i could not see it over the side and it didnt feel bad. When we come back to the garage, the sales man told me it was loaded with 50metric tonnes of gravel. I was blown away out of my mind.
