- mich800ExplorerToo bad no one could use it in the U.S. Wheelbase is too short to tow anything but a popup camper. :B
- SidecarFlipExplorer IIIYou know what 'they' say about driving a Mack????
- 73gunaExplorerI have a soft spot in my heart for cabovers.
First trucks I drove were cabover Mack and Volvo's with no power steering. - Dennis12ExplorerIts a urinate, Something to piss around town in. ????
- romoreExplorer II:B Cabovers have fallen out of favor on class 8 trucks in North America, limited room for emission equipment and they tend to overhear due to lack off air flow. I never liked driving a co, too hard on the back and kidneys.
- SidecarFlipExplorer IIII think it's butt ugly. Having driven Class 8 trucks for 30 years, I prefer a conventional. Don't want to be first on the scene with the radiator cap in an accident.
Hard on the knees. - Johno02ExplorerThat is REALLLY ugly!

Do not know about a specific name . It has a 500hp Ecotorq engine. Give you a clue the Transit Connect is built there.
It is a Ford H62X Cargo.
Looks nice, and I miss seeing the old heavy duty cabovers like the Ford W9000. However, they don't make much sense here when a conventional cab achieves much better fuel economy due to being more aerodynamic. Luckily, our roads and infrastructure are big enough for conventional trucks while most of the roads in other country's are not. Hence the reason for cabovers in other country's.
