    Never thought of it that way but it makes a lot of sense.. All about having a competitive price with a dog on the hood!

    And next to the Binder looks like an old airport refueler on possibly a Louisville?😎

    Hmnnn?? Trailer made solutions. Hope they have been working on what pulls the trailers. How about it Kevin. Are a good percentage of these TIP locations currently either heavy truck dealers or into heavy truck service? I know in the old days I would not take my power unit to a Fruehauf Branch.

    So destined for US Market? Another cab over in medium market that Ford and International insist does not exist. ?????

    Matt-If T-800 not a Super Duty (401, 477,534) If it was a 477 would have been a T-850 or T-950-and 477's were not known as being dogs. Depending on year I think a T-800 would have been a 391-which would explain why it was a dog compared to say a 549.

    Kevin point of info, not sure of how it breaks out but Case and Deere are very big players in construction equipment. NH to a much lesser degree. My bet would be Case construction sales are greater than the "red tractor" business. As for Deere, on a world wide basis "green" equipment probably outsells "yellow" but not by much. Who would you see as a likely partner for Iveco?

    If your Ford was a T-800 it was not a 534.

    Well the upcoming negotiations were I believe being viewed as tough ones. Now with this distraction, another complication. Bad enough when the membership doesn't have the best opinion of management. Now when there are sure to be doubts about the integrity of their union leadership, sounds like a circus in the making.

    Makes no sense. If nothing else, a big negative to anyone thinking of a military career

    Hippy-what would you do with another one???

    We need a chart to keep the Hake/Barnhart/Marino deal straight😎And I guess add Bay Crane to that??

    Wow-Look at the graph-1982 class 6 and 7 sales. Ford-33.2%, GM-30.6%, International -30%, Imports 6.2% Boy have times changed.

    Rich-that truck made its debut at our first show at Fairgrounds.

    WellI would agree with James J. It's a vocational truck! You can still have a sloping hood with decent visibility but square it off! No need for an A -car to look like Snoopy. Then again in terms of visibility, the manufacturers spend a lot of money to provide that, and then the a-holes spend all kinds of money for drop down visors and they drive with the seat on the floor. You see one coming at you and think.."oh autonomous truck-don't see a driver i that thing🤪
  15. Red Horse
    Shocker! I guess the drop down window just wasn't enough😎

    For sure the small paving contractors. Don't need a live tandem for what is usually on highway use.

    JB- to me that does not look like an offset cab-look at air cleaner. Good looking regardless-lot of engine inside that cab!

    Have to disagree. This engine will I think be a big seller-in particular in the F-600, 650 and 750. Think of the guys that need the power but don't run the annual mileage to capture the MPG savings the Power Stroke would offer. It will probably sell for about 5 grand less than the Power Stroke. At 350 HP and 468 lb ft of torque this thing has more HP than the old 401, 477 and 534 Super Duty and is topped only by the 534's torque rating of 481 pd ft. Although I think the old SD put that torque out at like 1800. Can someone explain to me how the torque and HP number can be max at same RPMs? Think someone read a news release wrong.

    Thx Kevin, Impressive
  20. Red Horse
    Ok Jim- so how do you flip it? I went to edit and no luck
  21. Red Horse
    Match sticks-assume for paper industry? Iveco is a beast in any case-where are they built?
  22. Red Horse
    dealer near me currently has a 750 they are advertising as a 26,000 lb. gvw
  23. Red Horse
    Nice and I like the 56 "Big Job" in the back bay.
  24. Red Horse
    Great news. Take your time in setting it up. My barn is 19 years old-still planning😎

    Everest-too bad we won't see it here. Then again Ichecked out a 2020 Explorer yesterday. VERY nice-starting with the RWD bias and north/south engine layout.
