randyp Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 big trucks-379 pete,(Im so ashamed),,,little trucks-old dodge power wagons,,,even littler trucks-tonka,,,even littler littler trucks-Hot Wheels,,,Now There, I said it! My first pick is Mack though. Maybe its just me, I havent found anything to compete with R model dump trucks, most specially offroad work. Both mine are kinda slow on highway, but you can just load the doodoo out of them and they will move it out, no jerking, no jumping, just take off. Dern, I likes em! randyp 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/26016-whats-your-favorite-non-mack/#findComment-126901 Share on other sites More sharing options...

RowdyRebel Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Ford. I've got a pair of Ford Rangers and an F250, along with an old 8N tractor. The first semi tractor I went to look at when I had made up my mind to buy one was a '97 LTL9000. I really liked the truck, but the one I looked at wasn't exactly ready to put to work...and I couldn't afford truck payments on a company driver wages while I figured out why NONE of the dash switches (or anything else electrical) worked. Sure, there were a lot of unplugged connections behind the dash...might have been as simple as plugging everything back in....but WHY had somebody unplugged everything? I walked away from that one & ended up with my '01 CH613. Quote When approaching a 4-way stop, the vehicle with the biggest tires has the right of way!

Popular Post Vladislav Posted July 9, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted July 9, 2012 My favorite non-Mack is the truck of my country's origin - YaAZ.Production years were 1951-1958.It's structure based on 40's Mack NR series although with a lot of differences.Most chassis including front axle and Camelback are too close to Mack but reworked to metric.The engine was two stroke, a copy of 6-71.There were 5 speed gearbox and 2 speed transfer case.Two parallel propeller shafts came to axles with no interaxle diff.Cab has wooden structure with wooded outside lining on early series.Nearly 20,000 units were produced.The only one survived is known at the moment. Keeped in a closed army area with no chances to get it off.Vlad 5 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/26016-whats-your-favorite-non-mack/#findComment-127834 Share on other sites More sharing options...
