@graf @ACL9000 I'm going to have the time of my life. Ain't no chance you get pulled over for shenanigans or speeding when every other $100,000 SUV is in a ditch.
I just have to be careful if I'm stopped at the front. That's when you get rear ended by some dumb bitch on her phone not understanding that AWD is not All Wheel Stop.
@catmanmancat @ACL9000 hand brake every corner and you'll be fine
@catmanmancat @graf @ACL9000 I’m rolling in a 10k lbs (empty) box truck.
Lots of ground clearance.
Limited slip diff.
Brand new open shoulder traction tires.
Button to lock out the overdrive gears (5/6).
Column shifter to select 3rd and 2nd.
Which I do all the time anyway, to engine brake when coming to a stop.

@graf @catmanmancat @ACL9000 I wouldn’t want any other style of box truck after my last 2 cab overs.
Can basically maneuver about like a Suburban in tight spaces, maybe even better with the right turning radius.
There is a YT channel I watch that got a brand new Scania semi imported to the US and street legal, for demonstration and takes it to truck shows.
He would like them to enter the North American market, but that’s a huge investment for them.
They make some low profile cab over chassis for box trucks.
7 liter diesel.
And they’ve cracked the code to get it to pass Euro emissions without a DPF (filter), still has an EGR.
I swore I’d never buy another diesel box truck after dealing with emission issues galore on my last one.
But that Scania would be tempting.
