Cool Pic
I thought that this was a cool MB pic!
I caught it going down the freeway here in Dallas. Maybe someone can post the pic in a message for me. Robert |

Here's the pic.
Freightliner is owned by Daimler-Benz, thus the badge. I am not a trucker, nor am I in the trucking industry. I just travel a lot and look out the window a lot. If I were to become a trucker, I would want either a Freightliner, or a new Volvo. The new Volvos look pretty cool. |

I don't remember the specs on the engine, but I think it's comparable to an 8.3l C-series Cummins or a 3126 Cat...I could be wrong, though; it may be bigger...

United Parcel Service Freightliner Vans
Freightliner is owned by Daimler-Chrysler? Doh!
Hmmmm...I guess that explains why those new Freightliner UPS delivery vans looked so doggone European. And now after a closer look at them, I realize that they are MBZ Sprinters.

Arrgh! Dodge?
IF so, they'll have to install really crappy electrical systems in those Sprinters in order to maintain the true Dodge image.

IMHO the best looking big trucks are the mid '90's Freightliners and the Ford Aeromax trucks...the '80's IH cabovers weren't bad either. The old Peterbilts are quite nice, as well... |

Look at it this way. This could be the start of Dodge actually selling worthwhile vehicles |

Autocar
Autocar has to have the coolest, menacing looking trucks with the massive hood and the small cab. I love those trucks!

speakin' of trucks... I really like the Renault trucks I have seen in Europe. Anyone know anything about them? I think they're the same trucks that were used in the movie "Transporter"(a horrible movie:p )

They are Garbage trucks. And from my quick search it looks like Volvo is involved now. Bought them out maybe?
