And finally another "Auf Achse" truck

As the same time during this period into the 80's (think at the end) a good truck it was the R 360 Turboliner (1987).Russ469 wrote: ↑31 Oct 2019 13:27Ford Transcontinental. Launched in 1975, lasted 8yrs in production. At the time of launch, it was ahead of its time. Production was stopped due to a sales slump and Fords inability to market the Truck correctly. Had a choice of 4 engines, 242hp,269hp, 304hp and 335hp at launch. These were later updated with a new cummins engine. Good truck, but pricey. More expensive than rivals which is more than likley why the sales fell and the truck was cancelled. The Ford Cargo was launched as a replacement and joint venture with Leyland to reduce costs. My grandfather had a Transcontinental and replaced it with a scania. Happy days from my childhood in the 80's
