This is how it works IRL? Because on the American trucks the kerb window is actually two panels of glass and the window roills down between them.

I tested drive an XF 2021, and yes that's how it works, it can't be opened!

Question: To those that have a bit more knowledge about the subject than me, what is more common in EU trucks, super single steers or regular 315/70 's ??

But this doesn't make any sense... :? I know that right window isn't used often but to not give you the possibility to open it is a stupid feature IMO.

I don't know if it applies to all trucks! but they said the mechanism to lower and raise the can't be placed, because the Kerbview glass is large!

That make sense but still a bad engineering projection IMO.

The window is just too big for it's purpose... The one in the Mack Anthem has the same objective and it's half the size of the DAF one (Maybe even less) and it works perfectly.

It makes the truck feels like a bus! And with the passenger seat lifted, it gives a great view! Tbh it's worth it as you rarely have a passenger with you!

Exactly. But not being able to open the window came out as a surprise!
Was this the same case with the Renault too?
