Cool rigs!
I wonder how they get the "toad" off in the first pic....
Maybe one person on each end and just lift it off! :B
Ingenious way to carry a car anyways.

Hi Bob - lotsa Can/Am big truck rv'rs'z haul smarts on their trucks. The Escapees forum has a very active truck community in the "HDT" forum.

smarts are driven up ramps, winched up ramps, or picked up by a hydraulic loader.

Cabovers here have air suspensions and air seats. Ride of new European trucks is better than Conventional Trucks.

I HATED driving the cabovers.... Always had that sick feeling that I would be reading the owners card from the person's glove box I rear ended....

In 99% of the Globe that is what you get. Conventionals basically exist in NA. They exist also in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa
