A little bit disappointing that you didn't go into the fuel efficiency difference between the brands. More MPG means more money in your pocket as an owner.
I just bought new GMC Sierra HD AT4X with Duramax. With all fees etc etc it came to like $140K CAD. That means those heavy haulers are actually really cheap, or pick ups are waaay overpriced.
From my experience the freightshakers are pretty good for long haul and are quite comfy and Pete's are well performing but less comfortable for what I was doing. Small cabs
Great video on American Trucks, I'm in the process of buying my second truck, it's another Peterbilt 579, with an 18 speed automatic and a Cummins ISX engine.
Explain to us why American trucks and semi-trailers do not have suspension lifting and lowering regulation like in European ones? There would be fewer accidents at railway crossings and viaducts due to the trailer blocking.
If freightliner would fix their damn suspension so that its not literally breaking your back, then Id never drive anything else. They are arguably the most fuel efficient. The cheapest to maintain. And they have by far the best cabinet layout and ease of use, even if the hinges are cheap as hell. (Like the fridge that NEVER stays closed.) But until they get that fixed, Ill stick with my Volvo VNL 860. Its smooth as silk and never causes me back issues, but the cabinets are less user friendly and its harder and much more expensive to get parts. Please Freightliner....fix your damn suspension! The truck isnt supposed to cause harm to its user in every day use.. As far as Peterbuilt and Kenworth. I swear they are the Harley Davidsons of trucking. Basically people with more money than brains buy them because of the brand name alone. The types that like to tinker and work on their trucks all the time. Cause I swear after driving both, that they are held together by bubble gum and hopes and dreams. I have never had as many panels fall of any other truck as I have a Kenworth/Peterbuilt. And Mack, just feel very old school. 50 Million gauges for every little thig you never wanted to know. Plus just being basic and kind of the oddball to drive and get used to.
You're just going to leave off the best selling usa truck manufacturer by numbers = the INTERNATIONAL TRUCK COMPANY aka INTERNATIONAL Harvester COMPANY - IHC ?
Volvo Cars are owned by the Chinese, but in their truck department the Swedes still hold the majority. Major owners: AB Industrivärden (9.1%; 27.9% votes)- Sweden Geely (6.8%; 15.5% votes)- China
I like pet they look so sexy if I ever own a peterbuilt dream build is 389 flat top and 8 inch stacks with a twin turbo v12 caterpillar engine making 700hp or more pair with 18 speed transmission 😂😂😂 and get rid of the diesel dpf or def those or no good
Hi to all, My favorite truck in this episode is none of them. If you want a superior truck you have to get these European Trucks Manufacturers Mercedes, Scania, Volvo, MAN, and DAF. These are better built and everything about them is awesome. There is no question in my mind that they are obviously superior than the United States counterparts in every aspect of the world truck industry. Peace to all.
@@gemini0118 You don't _work_ on them. You call a mechanic who is specalized in the brand you have. Then you just have to pay a lot of €€€€... Easy 😒 (Btw - I'm European).
@@doskuanov Both the angles and height on these steering wheels are adjustable for the best comfort for the driver. Yes, all new trucks are cabovers, except for a few trucks that are converted from coes to hooded. But they haven't always been. Before the 70's "normal" trucks (that's what we often called our conventional trucks) were more common than cabovers. And for example Scania made hooded trucks until 2005.
Paccar Engines SUCK we have a Fleet of 27 trucks 8 with Cummins and the rest with JUNK which are always in the shop for Engine Codes. We have both KW and Petes with the JUNK engines in them so it's not the trucks it's the engines and don't get me started and the Crap Automatic Transmissions. Buy a Cummins that's made out of Metal not a Paccar that's made out of plastic.

I will say there are a lot of older Peterbilts and Kenworths still on the road in the United States and Canada.

This video is way off on their prices . Amongst other things.
Volvo #860...#760‼️❗❗❗❗🤔🤫🧐Freightluner's...
My favorite semi truck is the peterbilt because i love the colors, interior, the engine and more
My favorite brand is Peterbilt because of their classic look on the 379/389 models. I love the dual straight pipe look.
Not today, this animal eats up all your fuel profit, CAT made in China spare parts are very expensive тоday

Very good video bro :)
Thanks
@@TruckTropia all good :D
It must suck knowing that Australian's make better Kenworths and Mack's than Americans

Which engine ?
@@kamilborys9488 The Cummins X15, Great engine with Good Power.

I’m not a hater on Autos. Pete’s and Kdubs are my fave.
For me I love Kenworth and Peterbilt only , If euro trucks Just Mercedes Benz Actros
It reminds me of blacktop peterbilt in the movie blacktop 2000 it is about peterbilt
Where is Volvo and International
And WS
The cavalry is having them come back
I prefer the Western Star, the Detroid diesel, the interior and more
My favorite truck is the one that's making me money!
KW and Pete are the chit. FR.

So since the Chinese owned Volvo and mack is owned by Volvo, does that means booth truck company is now Chinese.? 🤔
Only the car business of Volvo was acquired by the Geely group in China.
Volvo Cars are owned by the Chinese, but in their truck department the Swedes still hold the majority. Major owners:
AB Industrivärden (9.1%; 27.9% votes)- Sweden

Peterbilt and Kenworth aren't the trucks they used to be. Neither is the rest
Paccar garbage Cummins X15 garbage money pit … just name left with Pete n Ken
Why didn’t you include International trucks ??
Included Here Who Makes The Semi-Trucks In America?

Volvo is the best truck manufacturer in the US and they’re not even from around here 😃 that being said and MACK owned by them, MACK is the one!

Just Shut up
Seating on steering wheels will be hard on lower back. European trucks are all cabover I believe

We need at least Chinese trucks
One word, No Thanks
