Shh... They don't want to startle cowboys by showing newer than 10 years tech.

And yeah, exterior is very nice and unlike others, cabin is wide enough only 50 cm narrower than European ones.

A truck that takes you fly fishing and gives you beer. What's not to like?

Nice thing about it : it shows similar design cues to the FH when you look at it, there is both obvious differences and similarities

No surprise there, Volvo does like to keep things similar between it's lines of trucks

Actually It's the VNR who gets its dashboard from the VNL ,
According to Volvo , they started the developements of the VNL before the VNR

Great looking truck.

The new VNL now has Apple CarPlay. That's a huge step in infotainment for the trucking industry. If any of you have used that system before, it works extremely well and can be operated 100% completely hands-free. This feature alone would strongly influence me on purchasing one.

C'mon Android Auto, step up to the plate here...Google Maps is better than Apple Maps.

Does it have Apple on it?

Aww, too bad, I liked it at first but since it has Apple, can use thrashcan instead...

Haha, no kidding.

I wouldn't say it has Apple on it, it just projects the CarPlay app that is on your iPhones screen to the infotainment system.
