yeah yeah .....dribble dribble scania out pulls KW ....scania was being towed by KW more than likely. Only reason scania won was KW had to turn around to back scania into wreckers...lol  yes they are what they are cracked up to be and you get what you pay for...purrfection... I have driven most brands and KW are still the best bang for buck in my book...  and the ONLY truck purpose built for this country. |

Well if your into boneshakers.. Go right ahead and buy a Kenworth.. Or if your after comfort, Good fuel economy, fair bit of horsepower then go buy a Volvo or scania.. I will get proof my dad's volvo can out pull a shitty old KW.
If i recall, in the post about the L.P.G system it says he used to get 1.5km per litre.. My dad's volvo will do that! It will get 1.8-2.1 most of the time so there is nothin special about them Kenworths!

Yeah you must be right...i know nutin... and when you get your license and drive on the highway then one day you might just learn something. But hey what do i know.... not alot by the sounds of it... if you put a volvo fh16 610 next to a T904 or watever the hell you drive you can tell by miles kenworth are about 20 25 years behind volvo, you run on 24.5's and the reasoun they dont have electric windows is you could lean over 2 inches and roll the window up or down. Volvos over there have enough potential to pull as much weight as you guys on 22.5's smaller tyres and smaller trucks... Now by my guess you only like kenworths because 1: Big cabs, and 2: Big engines... and im telling you now kenworths do not run as well as volvos in all aspects, volvos have better cab suspension, cleaner engines (well except one we've ever had) meaning lower emmisions. When the emmisions law hits your end of the globe you really friggered, you wont cope with kenworths that have euro 1 and 2 engines levels. And when that law kicks in ur all in for it if you don't drive an iveco scania or volvo... Comfort: Volvo and Scania Full Pulling Potential: Volvo and Scania The worlds moving on from kenworths, deal with it... |
