BOBWhite Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Jokes aside It really does look similar to the 80s Ford CL9000 cabovers here in America. Don't know if they ever made it over to Europe so might just be a coincidence. I'd say they are my 2nd favorite cabover, behind the Mh of course.

Fiat Iveco are the biggest diesel engine manufacturers in the world Ford NewHolland farm tractors are owned by Iveco So it would most likely be that a lot of this engineering is in this motor Probably a lot like Mack and Scania once were Same same but totally different From the numbers of trucks built in Europe I would very much doubt it is a dud at all Paul Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73614-ford-means-business-in-big-trucks/page/2/#findComment-543687 Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeH Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 @kscarbel2 were you the one a number of years ago looking to turn your Virginia property into a retired Veteran community?

mowerman Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 I think they’re not a bad looking truck. They fit right in these days, but I think that’s mostly European. Let’s face it. Everything over here is turned. Ugly… That’s not a bad looking unit certainly is the lesser of most evil. a lot of us are stuck in nowadays ….Peterbilt and Mack’s would be the only ones that somewhat held on to half decent appearance .. bob Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73614-ford-means-business-in-big-trucks/page/2/#findComment-544040 Share on other sites More sharing options...
