If you're in Truck business, you'd stay away from sonotruck and Indian trucks. Though very expensive, man diesel, Benz, Volvo and mack are the most reliable trucks of all time. I once had a ghastly accident with my EOD back in the days, with a mack Truck, the driver didn't even notice that something hit him, maybe he'd have stopped to rescue us. Thanks God we all survived it with minor bruises and head injury on the one of the 2 OAU students I gave a lift.

He has sent all the other tech bloggers into early retirement, and I hope he quickly diversifies into the automobile niche so that he would also send the likes of autojosh on relegation.

Mack Trucks remain the toughest on Nigerian roads.Sadly Nigeria does not produce any. undecided undecided

Do you know that Mack and many other premium names in heavy duty trucks have been either chased out of business or forced to merge by Chinese brands like Sinotruck, Shacman, Zongtong etc. Verifiable fact.

point of correction... Volvo trucks are owned by Volvo group...not by Chinese geely motors..

let me explain the difference geely motors acquired from fords motors the Volvo car corporations.. Volvo car corp makes just private/personal cars not trucks... this two different companies...the volvo logos are about 89% similar and both companies share responsibility in maintaining the Volvo museum.

Volvo group is 100% Swedish and they own Volvo construction equipment,Renault truck and Mack trucks.. ..in that case Volvo is the biggest truck company not Mack..

Benz is good but not as strong as Mack

Who told you!!?
Re: Top 10 Best Heavy Duty Truck Manufacturers. (photos) by ebuka1511(m): 4:52pm On Aug 13, 2018
Yea the most popular, but not so good on their brake technology. Mack, the Vision, R and CH Models all have bad braking system, dunno if its been rectified in the latest models. The truck is a beast!!!! very strong, but then another good one is the Iveco Trucks, I love the Genlyon Model and have been opportuned to manage it, very smooth and have nice fuel economy, the downside is that its mostly electricals and the parts are too expensive, the Injector system of an Iveco Genlyon truck would conveniently get a brand new Hyundai elentra!!! but they ae also beast!!!

I'll be honest that I've only towed once with Boydstun' vehicle carrier hauler. I recently purchased a Boydstun 9107-46 QL. It has a max weight of 7400 lbs, and mine was not full when I towed it. I have the SL with the Cummins. I used a regular hitch and towed it from Raleigh to Fayetteville, and from Fayetteville to Suffolk VA to the camp ground. I've towed plenty of USCG boats in my time, with much bigger trucks (varying in range) and to be honest this truck tows like a **** dream. I'm sure if I had used my tow hitch it would've been better, but to be honest I wasn't missing anything, nor was it scary when I drove up and down I95.
Do these guys provide discounts?

We're those boat going to the auction or just being moved between bases. I was thinking if buying one on GSA, but I want to believe there is a more discreet outlet for these sales I had seen some on Adesa in Newnan Florida and Virginia seems to have the most option
