3:04 I see a Bedford truck. Perhaps you may publish a video about Bedford as an historic brand?
the worst thing about New Trucks
*PLANNED OBSOLESENSE*
Old Classic ➡️ no plastic! 😉
Those old trucks near seemed to break down because they didn't have all of the unnecessary crap on them
I would always love old trucks with new age tech
Kenworth sell that in Australia. Fuses and pdms on the same circuit!
Especially the comfort of new ones old ones are rougher
When I play American Truck Simulator, apparently my favorite cab is Western Star. Something about the dashboard being solid and not digital just feels right.
Name me anything that is being built current year that can outlast anything built in the 50s, 60s and 70s. (except maybe for car bodies and frames)
Volvo FM's. The second gen ones are going strong at 35,000 hours, set of bushes all around and an engine and gearbox rebuild at 25,000 hours in a hook lift. An 80s acco had less power and the chassis failed by 20,000hours after the engine and gearbox rebuild at 12,000hrs
Outlast in terms of longevity no, but we can't deny that when those vehicles were running, they were polluting so much. However, in terms of performance, those old-school engines can't keep up. The DD60 was the last good North American engine, even with egr and dfp. Sad they'll never come back but iver seen volvo d13s go to 1.5mill km before needing a rebuild
@@wizparrissa863260 series vs the Volvo fm13 d13 had similar power and Volvo didn't need EGR to cause issues and the diagnostic systems on the Volvo motor are way better. Doing injectors on the d13 was easy and for more KMs, didn't need a new cylinder head like the 60 series. But I only have the experience as a mechanic.
@Low760 I'm a mechanic too. Since the bus side doesnt require as much strain on the engine to move, the dd60 in Prevosts are way better than the D13s. I can't really say on the truck sideaa
Maybe them severe duty freightliner last alright.
I have 7 truck in the yard from '70 '80 '81 '82 '85 '87 '89 and they work alongside and still able to run rings around modern trucks when there braking down and getting bogged mine just keep soldering on and don't own $ on any of them and cost me practically nothing to fix when you compare to the price of parts for moden trucks
Thanks for the presentation of old Vs new.
I drive in Europe and like the modern trucks with the improvements of today. What I dislike is that no European brand offers those cool Eaton Fuller manual transmissions. 13 or 18 speed. Doesn't any other driver like the technical skill required to use one of these crash boxes? I would. High gear and low gear, overdrive and direct selection - splitting. Skipping gears and precisely using C (crawler/low) gear when needed. Bragging not using the clutch 😊 . Too bad not available in Europe ....... for the pros. Note : Daf XG 530 is awesome. Thank you .🙂🙂
Glad you liked it 👍
You can get a brand new Sisu truck with manual Eaton Fuller transmission so you can get them in Europe. Sisu has used fuller transmissions over a long time even today 👍
It's a different market from the old O/O being the usual to now marketing towards auto tragic mega carriers.
I miss the old trucks 🚛💯😎
I'll take an old truck in a heartbeat! Trucks aren't meant to operate, and maneuver like four-wheelers, they are trucks! I don't want any of the technology that these newer trucks have to offer! I don't even need a GPS! A mapbook is perfectly fine to me! I'm grateful and fortunate enough to have had old school truckers teach me to drive a truck. The way they taught me has always worked and has never let me down, so I prefer to keep it that way. Technology, however, tends to let me down sometimes. Like trucker GPS's, for instance. Those things have attempted to route me to low bridges even though they were set not to. Luckily, whenever I use a GPS, I always match the route to the mapbook to make sure it's accurate, instead of following the n GPS route blindly. The truth is that technology tends to fail sometimes, and being at the controls of an 80k pound truck is not the time or place for mistakes like that. My point is that the old way is just simply the best way, just like old trucks are the best trucks!
It's pure nostalgia, that's it.
Theres definitely some things that old ones did better, like they didn't have planned obsolescence, and some other stuff, but yeah a lot of it is just people hate change
I would go with the older trucks myself (i have a wet Dream about getting a 379 Pete
But i see a gps as a Industry standard that isnt worth figthing at this point.
Simply becuase as truck drivers we have alot og other things to keep an eye on, plus one wrong turn and shit Can go bad.
So why not use somthing that Can prevent that.
That being said i would still take an older diesel truck Any day
What would be the most modern truck in the big space that you can still buy with a manual?
With most new trucks they don’t think about the mechanics that have to work on the trucks, from what I heard it’s a pain to work on the new trucks with there engine bays being so small
I used to drive Fuso truck with a high-low gear switch 😂
Can you do a video about super singles and duallys
My opinion: ths video is great. People who complain about thing's like trucks not being manual or being too comfy, why? Its a job not a hobby, and its a job thats criticalto the world, so why not make it easier on the driver's? And people complaining about trucks beng to round and not boxy enough, thats so dumb. Its for efficiency. Its not supposed to look good. Its supposed to get the job done. Its not a logging truck, its a highway truck, so it needs aerodynamics. The people who complain about that are the same ones who talk about how pickup trucks are too luxurious and old ones used to be designed to get the job done and not be about looks. The point is old trucks definitely are better in some ways and corporate greed is a thing, but the people who complain about safety, efficiency, and emissions upgrades are dumb.

You haven't said anything why trucks of today suck. Just made moi waste my data
Trucks today suck because of all the electronic bull crap that does nothing but fail you get rid of the useless electronic crap and you have a truck that will have WAY less down time therefore more money in you're pocket
they needed to stop reinventing the wheel, especially on the electrical side of trucks. The last gasp of good trucks was the late 90's imo, computer controlled engines but simple machines otherwise. I'll take a rebuilt 1998 kenworth W900L with a CAT 3406E and a 18 speed over these new break down queens any day.
Everything used to be built to last when Britain was at the top.
Give me the ol' 65 Pete with the 275 Iron Lung Cummins and a 4x4 trans any day over this 'sidewalk sissy' crap now days. Truck drivers today dont know what they missed!!!
Can you make a video about turbos? Like twin turbos and single turbos, maybe you already did that, maybe make a video about supercharge on diesel engines
How truck turbos work is planned for next week 💪👍
I'll take a 90's international or anything like it any day. while smog is a problem in populated areas, all it does it push the problem to other areas of the globe like the ocean where massive emission standard free cargo carriers bring us our def, dpf and egr parts from china burning thousands of tons of dirty diesel everyday. not to mention the loss of efficiency these trucks endure from having these emissions systems on them and the extra burnt fuel required to run regen. Additionally the health effects of corrosive DEF fluid should be looked into and studied.
It's really a shame that the truckers have to suffer with these modern regulations but the rail, water and air shipping industries do not have to follow these rules,
these regulations make everything more expensive for everybody because now a load of apples to the supermarket costs more to ship because it's forced to be shipped on a truck that costs more to purchase, operate and maintain.
At the end of the day, old trucks aren't going to get off the road until regulations force them to and people will keep the old trucks alive for as many generations as possible because the whole system of requiring such continuously increasing emissions standards is absurd and expensive to the point where individuals aren't going to be able to own small companies that run new trucks because they will cost far too much to keep on the road or even purchase from the beginning.
I understand and respect the opinions of those who think these modern regulations on emissions are a good thing but I personally believe it is nothing more than manipulation of the people from politicians and federal agencies like the epa which has people running it who are appointed and not elected by the people but have free reign to control the aspects of the everyday lives and rules of the American people
I NEVER did like every single emissions device in these trucks bcuz you can almost be @ the chemical plant and just like that it derates, wouldn't bad if it gave you some leeway to fix it on your free time.
U think todays truck sucks because u not a actual truck driver 😂
As much as I hate aftertreatment systems. They are needed. Smog levels in cities have been significantly reduced since emissions came in. EPA was also created after going to the moon and realizing how fragile our earth is and that we should be doing things to limit our carbon footprint.
They say that but California is just as smogy as it ever was. Also this entire save the earth thing is making stuff more expensive...they use less plastic but it cost us more kind of stuff.
@SurvivenTerry well California is the worst state for that. But its also from the shipping traffic. I'm not gonna disagree that it's making things more expensive but when it comes to diesel trucks (not electric and shipping because that's a whole next issue) it is proven that aftertreatment has significantly reduced nitrous oxide and hydrocarbons that linger in the air and are harmful for our health. I can run a 2019 volvo d13 in my shop without having to connect an exhaust extractor because it burns so clean but a 2002 DD60 is unbearable without an exhaust Evac system. It sucks good trucks don't exist anymore but either does a good car. But what's even harder to find is a good technician that knows how to identify problems in a PM and are knowledgeable with diagnosing. Too many people are paying too much on parts they never had to change due to incompetent technicians that didn't pay attention in school.
You are the carbon they want to reduce.
@@freedomlover2808 lool go elsewhere with your conspiracy theories. We're here to talk about diesel trucks. You Americans love to go off topic
@@wizparrissa8632 You Europeans love to screw the rest of the world over with your global conferences every year in Switzerland. IE World Economic Forum
I'm 12 and I can drive the old school trucks.
Modern trucks are so much better in All aspects. Period. End of discussion. All those who are think old ones are better never drove one.
this days 2024 can the trucks goup to 2 milion miles ? check again last series of trucks that can go up to 2 milion miles was the 2007 before the def was introduced they made a mistake that they made the trucks so good and reliable, reliable trucks are not good for bussiness they cant sell parts and make more money, when the dpf was introduced in 2009 truck have problems every month with that dpf if its not that its something else related with electronic trucks are not relialble and good any more after 500k u have to do bypass on that dpf system if u really want to make money and have a more reliable semi.
Anyone who thinks they'd rather drive a b model mack or a gmc astro is welcome to it. This whole video is nonsense.

Lorries will never compete with Trains.
Trains are useless without trucks so what are you trying to say??
Trains can't back up to stores down town
@@sstransportexpressllc8223 Lorries are useless without roads.
@@joshb2088 They can move everything to a local distribution centre which then Lorries would take it just down the road to it’s destinations.
But really I’m talking about long haul a train can move more freight and faster meaning it is just cheaper.
ALLLLLLLL this new stuff is a complete joke. Surveillance machines 8-11 hours a day.
All this modern junk sucks nomater what it is in 40 years nobody will be restoring a 20.. nothing because its crap
modern trucks are a lot better, because they are a lot cleaner compared to the older trucks. I don't like American trucks personally, because they are extremely outdated compared to the European trucks. If you take a look at European trucks, they come with more updated interior and exterior and European trucks are bit more modern compared to American trucks.
If i wanted an older truck id take a japanese european or an american truck if i wanted a new truck id want a European or Japanese sadly American trucks today are not as good as what they were 35 years ago. Nowadays the only good American made items today is Lawn Mowers and BBQ Grills.
Old trucks are uncomfortable, slow, poorer handling and less stable. You get out of a noisy leaf sprung Kenworth or acco or inter, rattling your body out.
They definitely didn't go for 1.5m KMs! Engine rebuilds were common at 500,000 if that, transmissions and clutches failed earlier too. Plus worn out spring pins and bushes and uni joints from rougher roads, lack of greasing. Plus split rim tyres and smaller drum brakes.
Overall driver comfort is more important because it causes fatigue. There's less accidents now despite there being more trucks.
Good clickbait buddy.
