Not really my style truck and also not a long nose pete or KW, but a small step in the right direction as far as targeting the us market. Maybe someday they will start producing some of the American classics.

Sneff junk like this most that drive truck do not consider a "Real US Truck" this is a JB HUNT truck this is a SWIFT truck of Schneider National, Inc. truck. Would of been better making the new KW K500 I know getting the rights they would not due but they could get it close.. Sneff this has Zero potential and will still be out sold by the king, globe and knight. Most of the euro guys dont even like it cause it is company speck.

Jay sorry to break your stones we have been asking for a real good US truck now for years and BY FAR your best US trucks you still have are the Globe Liner and the King Hauler at least they are close and we can build a real good looking truck out of them even the Knight Hauler can be made into different models so it is not to bad but this you cant do anything with.. I plan on buying one for sure I have 30 whats 31 but I plan on tanking the motor and trans out of it and the rear drives and putting trailer axles in there place painting it orange with Schneider National, Inc. logos weathering the crap out of it with "tamiya weathering kits" and wrecking it to pull behind my tow truck. I just wish you guys would celebrate better trucks even older trucks not the most hated brand and truck on the road that company steering wheel holders not "real truck drivers" run..

I absolutely agree with Paul, they couldn't have pic a more drab truck with less of a personality or some character. I also agree with some of the other guys as well, if they made an American style truck, that means tamiya hasn't given up on us Us and Canadian builders even tho sales of this hobby on our side of the Atlantic is way smaller and less profitable for them then in Europe. So atleast they are trying to give us a few more American style trucks....just too bad they didn't take any insight from American and Canadian builders into the tamiya tractor trailers. Atleast we could have told them what we all want and would buy. I know personally ill never buy this truck or the aeromax which is also gross in my opinion or any of the euro style rigs that to me all look.identical. but nice atleast tamiya doesnt plan on killing the truck line like the rumors I've heard for years.
