You're right. Though always in the shadow of the world's best truck, Scania

Volvo will never reach Scania's level 

Do you think VW (Traton) will keep Scania as their premium brand..??

Or will they cross pollinate It into a Prostituted "Legacy" Brand like has happened to Mack?? & to a lessor extent Western Star..!!

Don't Mahrinda (from India) do a Jeep knockoff..???

Of course Toyota used to offer a 1-ton cab & chassis in the US market with either single or dual tire configuration, and it sold very well. Penske Leasing ran thousands.

.

Looks very much like A Dyna Chassis with a Hilux Cab Fitted, To Me..

I like Hino, but that is a clumsy looking truck. The cab and hood don't match.....they're not proportional. Looks like a 48-hour project. Horrible execution.

Is that just a 500 series Hino with the Cab moved back & a bonnet (Hood) fitted???  Al la "Strator"

or is It a bit more involved than that??

There's been a helluva lot of effort put into this Old Girl.. Well done..

Glad I read this. I was told by a local dealer to stay away from  Jost as they are cheap poor quality.  Maybe I investagate further

Jost is a German Company, & in My opinion their products are First Class....

Not sure what operating procedure or willingness to risk an officers life is in Australia, but in the USA if a knife wielding car bomber comes running at a police officer, knife raised, the officer will go for the lead pills and skip the 30 second dodge-n-dance? Then again a brown banana has gotten a lot of people killed here.     

 

They're scared sh*tless of "Trial by Media" both Social & MSM

But I'm with You. They NEED to make a few examples of some of these Zealots, might just stop the next copycat glory seeker..

A lot (but Not All) Of 'em should never have been let in,In the first Place, Swish...

They need far stronger vetting procedures, in my Opinion...

How does a train engineer live down getting out of a locomotive without engaging the brakes?

Good question..

Here in Australia, Ford sold a rebadged Nissan Patrol as a Maverick..

She might be Brazilian, Swish..??

looks like they got their inspiration from Toyota..

Do It up until It Strips, then back It off one flat...😰

Read your warranty document that came with the truck for a list of exclusions...!!!

Great sound but why is he dropping so many gears with an empty lowboy?

'cause It's a  'ken Steep bit of road...

It averages out at (I think) at 10% incline for the 10-12 mile climb.     But In places it's 17-18% grade..

Just a shame they've stopped producing the Powerstar...

I've told My Wife, she has to play this at My Funeral as I'm going down the Hole..
