I'll just say -- never ever actually drive one for a day frisk, you'd never letch after one again.Those particular Scandinavian trucks have a major problem for their driver.
Due to the position of the alternator on the engine, it has to have a shaped bulge in the engine cover in the right hand foot well. This means there's very limited space for your left foot. OK if your multi-dropping, but agonising after a normal week for a distance driver.
Scan.... were being sued a few years ago for their poor drivers seat causing back problems. That's how much they care about the people who have to use their product, rather than the accountants or the showboaters.
You'll have guessed by now, I'm not a fan.
I drove a 143 - 500 Hi-line for a company for a year, that was a fantastic truck, in it's day.
