la spia del retarder nel cruscotto com'è rappresentata? dal rettangolo conuna linea in mezzo bianca oppure dal cerchio arancione accanto alla spia degli abbaglianti?

Reasons for owning a bigger truck than needed:

- maybe you'll need the full power some day;

- trucks are not powerful for speed/acceleration, they use that power to MANTAIN speed over hills. European roads are not like the ones in USA's deserts, they go up and down, sometimes at crazy angles;

- generally a bigger engine that runs far from it's peak power may verry well have a good fuel economy;

- a big truck might just be like a big car/bike... an extension of their personality (p3nis) :) ;

Very nice truck . In america you have a volvo you have to pay the mechanic extra

to get your truck done or you sit for 2-3 days at the dealer shop.We have 9 volvo trucks from the same dealer and treat us like shit . Here the dealer have no respect

to the buyer. I was break down on friday morning I got to tow the volvo dealer to virginia and they inform me don't have

a mechanic how works on volvo engines

must wait to monday. Have a nice weekend. Lucky you Filippo!

700 kn to juz jest moc niesamowita i przyspieszenie się odczuwa pozdrawiam

[TGXtrucker]

it says it: because he wants the best, i have a new VOLVO FH16 680, and works pretty like the FH16 700, and i use it to carry light cargo too, but sometimes y have to carry a tandem, or a full-loaded trailer with cars or something, it isn't the same having a FH16 680 or 700 that a 440 or like that

yeah that maskes sense... that truck is more for like hauling a road train or... heavy machinery...
