Trucks, some random roadrunning freight trains and a dude with bad luck

A very professional review of the trucks currently in ATS (sorta), really get you up close and personal with these trucks (mostly) and shows things that SCS may never be able to simulate in ATS.

Kenworth T680: (actually I don't need to put these titles here) Kenworth T680 Advantage: (probably not actually in the game) Kenworth ICON 900: (This is the only 900 ths reviewer analyzed and the ICON is a limited edition version of the W900 which is of course unlimited and still kicking hard) Peterbilt 579 (Supertruck): (well.... this is the only 579 this reviewer analyzed) And this 579 basically is saying "don't touch me, I can drive way better" I wonder if this is the only professional reviewer of trucks since there are mainly Peterbilts that he did not cover... eh oh well.

As a person having no idea or favor to any of American Trucks before ATS, From my experinece in ATS, I liked Peterbilt 579 much more than any of the Kenworths... It really drives smoother for me and nicer and tidier computer info screen.

Just for showing cruise control speed on every screen is big plus for me.

And while they sound like real versions, all sounds horribly noise, headaches for long time driving....

I find it very interesting following what the semi truck market is doing and from what I've seen aerodynamic, efficient trucks are the way forward especially in the states where it is a lot of highway driving. Another truck that the I see as a direct rival would be the Nikola ONE in setting a new standard for style.

285 ton load bends a bridge another load going through city

It's more noticeable when you speed the video up... or maybe you rather watch paint dry, can't blame ya, watching paint dry is very entertaining these days:

But I'm sure this would be more entertaining than watching paint dry: At this point YouTube algorithms should show you more monster city hauls, don't go and think we don't have steerable heavy haul trailers here.

I can't speed that video up as I watch it with my tablet, so I can either watch paint dry or skip to notice the differences in that bridge.
Cool videos by the way!
