Timmyb Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 I was contemplating buying one of these. But I only do 100,000km/60,000miles a year. Just didn't make sense. But they sure do have a lot more room inside. The grill is a bit of a step backwards compared to the k104. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlotpilot Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 What does Australia have against long wheelbase tractors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of people still use conventional prime movers. But 85% of our population is on the east coast, between Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. Between them cities is only a b-double route, and when your limited to 26m that big bonnet is just a luxury. I think it's 2 extra pallet spaces. And semi trailers must not exceed 19m long. I drive a COE for the same reason except I'm limited to 36.5m. I can fit 2 and a half trailers where a bonneted truck would only fit 2. Also, around town, backing into shed or getting into tight spots in a COE is so easy. The turning circle is miles better.
