VOLVO .......... What ....... are they good for


Recommended Posts

Other than Volvo's mistake in trying to take over Mack, they built some pretty good trucks. I've driven the F7, Cargo, Isuzu, and "club" cab Renault and the F7 was clearly the best of the bunch. Damn reliable trucks too, we had a boat hauler that was running them to around 800,000 to 900,000 miles before they replaced them.

But.....the front wheel steering cut is excellent, HVAC very good, adjustable steering wheel best in the business, sun visors are much better than anyone elses's.

So... I think I got this one fixed...

take Sweden's number one export, ever, hire their PR manager and 'voila'.... (or 'volvo' ).. no more criticism.

see, he took a small town singing group who could barely speak english and created a world phenomena...

or maybe it was just we all like Swedish chicks..?? :twothumbsup:

oh well, it seemed like a good idea :whistling:
