As a truck driver, here in the UK. I love your content... Who doesn't want to see different trucks and the comparison between US trucks, and European trucks... I love it!. I love what you do when you give them the "Bruce" touch, great vision, and classy... Apart from when you chop a Scania cab in half, sacrilege I tell you!. 😂 I've really enjoyed watching transition from your tractor business (as an ex farmer, tractors are another great love of mine) to dealing with trucks as your main business. Great content brother, don't listen to the naysayers, you're doing a fantastic job. For every person who complains and bitches, there are thousands of us who love what you do. Keep up the great content my trucking brother. 💪🏾😎👊🏾

It’s nothing wrong with the content, he’s shedding a new light on the trucking industry keep it up Bruce

Fun note If you look at the bulldog on the hood and it is the golden dog it is a full mack drive train engine transmission and rears Silver dog is not the full mack drivetrain

yeah im with Beamer good bit of info, i dont mind watching the Australian fella old rigs down under he has a fair few old macks on his property and will work on them. i reckon the macks are a decent truck maybe bruce should fix the mack up and sell it on or have a side project with it.

I just don’t blame anyone who tries to make there life better for themselves and family plus the members of their crew, the best of luck Bruce in all your ventures, keep the good content coming

Never seen someone so excited about a international before

FYI, Mack MP7 is rebranded Volvo D11 engine. The gearbox is also a rebranded Volvo I-Shift

Year model in all VIN’s is 10th digit (aka first digit of the last 8.) A is 2010, B is 2011, C is 2012 etc… keep a chart in your phone and you’ll know the exact year every time.

Truck looks nice enough to clean up fix the small stuff and sell it.

That Mack might be a good RV hauler? Take that dummy axle out slide the drive axle back? Take the fifth wheel off n register it as an RV? Lots a storage on that frame. Put a platform on.

Older Scania and Volvo truck was nice to drive. I can not even think how nice to new ones are. 2015-> That memory foam bed K.O. in seconds. Truck had better bed that I had at home.

A Corn Binder. I plan on getting one soon after I get my CDL because near my hometown, there's a Corn Binder just sitting, rusting. It's been in the same spot for ever since I moved here

Really looking forward to see the Cabover when finished 👌✌️

After watching you for years it's so odd seeing your videos in my hometown. Knowing the landmarks and so on makes these vids pretty awesome to me. Nice new ride for yall!

@Bruce Wilson, considering that the engine is in front of the cab, the noise is quite high compared to a European truck. As for that truck with the APU, I would rather park next to a Fridge trailer all night than listen to that APU, when are American truck manufacturers going to use a 24v system instead of a 12v system for truck ancillaries, the overnight cooling/heating systems are way more advanced.

Oh, nice to have Ville on a visit again!

If your going to put a cb in that truck go to the cb shop at the ta truck stop on watt road the CB shop is in the old fuel isle go in and see Jersey and he can pick out a good CB he can peak and turn it and inline it too

I just don't understand the mentality that automatics are bad or that they make you less of a driver or something like that, if anything they make you a better driver because instead of focusing on changing gears you can focus on actually driving the truck and you don't have to worry about destroying your knee over a lifetime of driving stick shift.

Here we go with the “knee myth” hahaha. I hear you brother! Nothing wrong with driving an automatic. However, i believe every driver should know how to shift gears. There’s so many skills you don’t learn if you’ve only driven automatics.

How much does a lease cost per month any ideas???😊

Divné chování , jak k lidem tak i k tahačům ! Co tohoto pána sleduji tak nic nepředvedl . Jako podnikatel je absolutně nemožný . Ničí bez příčiny vozidla a to je vše co dokáže . Pro mě osobně je pan Wilson velké zklamání . Místo podnikavého chlapa je prostě jen hejsek .

if i was you, wash wax an detail that mack an sell it on to someone who can really use it, thems are good trucks even when there totally fallin apart lol, youde make someones life start with that mack.

Im just a believer that if you have your CDL (properly) an you can drive a semi, your gtg. Just get an endorsement for what you would prefer to drive. Like me an my 4-wheeler (car), I prefer manual because its fun, but automatic just takes my mind off shifting lol

The company I work for got one for a 6 month test lease. Way better than the Freightliner Cascadia I got now.

Nice truck, but those aero wheel trims are hideous, please remove them lol.

❤It! Congratulations!

I'm glad yall have been busy but man I've been in need of videos 😅

I work for LA-Z-BOY and we have a few of them and they run good

Was wondering what was happening...it's good to see yer still kicking!😁

Bruce, I really love the new truck!

autos aren't bad honest for the long haul driving and not having to focus on a million other things but then again i do love my manuals because they keep me awake lol . i work hauling race cars for a team and i use to run the manual truck for awhile and started renting auto's because for ease of driver swaps and also comfort , Fuel milege etc

The mack would be a gentry truck I'm sure he would buy that right away

I miss big chrome stacks

YESSSSSS!!!!!!! Gosh KZread for the win today 🎉

Cool truck Bruce

Give it a sweet new wrap!

Cool truck. Drove auto trucks in the uk on and off from 2000. Main truck everyday is Volvo fh.

You could advertise that Mack for an RV hauler, especially with the dummy axle

I love the facts about the new truck and also how you give bad reviews about stuff that you can as the information about different bunk and the beds stuff ! Did you mention the mileage on that Mack and why it’s considered a salvage vehicle?

@Bruce_Wilson

It wasn’t salvage exactly just that it was a bank repo

I hope International do great with the S13 and that 14 speed auto tranny.Also the fact that there's no EGR cooler and a straight turbo simplifys the whole engine 😁

Very nice rig

keep the clips coming

You should take a walk around tour

The international lt accent lights are the two click on lights abpve the bed they are dimble and use the switch

A lot of the aero trucks these days have "weed burner" horizontal exhaust. This truck has the option for vertical stacks on the side of the cab and behind the sleeper. Since he's just leasing this truck I doubt he'd put aftermarket vertical exhaust on the truck unless he planned on purchasing.

Will you add a second drive axle to this MACK?

The lease on that's gotta be around $3400/month

Bruce, did you know that Hyundai uses Scania engines in their two largest excavators? The HX520 is powered by the Scania DC13 tier 4f engine? Youre starting to see their engines in alot more these days

@Bruce Wilson talk about what def fluid and additives u gonna use

I have nerve vascular problems from Dislocated shoulder 😮

That was a awesome video 👍💯

You should get like upgraded brakes like the super cars have then your synthetic oil and axle oil

Bruce... can't you answer a question that I know many of us Europeans have... because we all remember the scene where "Martin rubberduck" reaches over and opens the door, and throws his "co-pilot" out... measured from door to door, - seat to seat.. american newer truck, - old truck.. VS European Scania. let's go...

That mack is a Timmy Gentry special.

Hey Bruce what has happened too Aaron did he go back too full time truck driving because I haven't seen him in your videos for a while now I would like too see him in more off your videos again real soon.

Nice new Truck. You should call it retail therapy.

I sure hope this engine is better than the MAXFARCE or IH wont be in the truck market long.

I’m interested in what the mpg is

Just buy a older one to use sometimes? But what happened to the white Scania though?

Honestly the dashboard design reminds me a bit more of the new man tgx

What kind of trailers does Fitzgerald make?

Yeah autos are nice in traffic but other than that you can keep ‘em they make me sleepy and take 10 seconds to take off from a light after you push the accelerator pedal

Not to mention backing into a trailer...makes you look like a noob that doesn't know what you''re doing. Or trying to bump a dock and having the transmission go to neutral while you are rolling back and then bouncing off the dock back forward again...ugh...Infuriating junk.

Is the engine in that new Fitzgerald truck the new super engine in Europe?

Hi Bruce awesome new truck I have a question buying the new truck to show off new trailers from Fitzgerald seems like that could be a perfect job for the trator taxi just think you could save a monthly lease payment and use that money to fix your other trucks just a thought still a cool new truck my wife likes it maybe because it’s a automatic lol

ESTADOS UNIDOS E BRASIL , SÃO OS PAIS QUE MAIS TEM FÃ DE CAMINHÕES NO MUNDO 🫵😎🤙 🇧🇷❤️🇺🇸

Did you sell the tractor taxi?

Hey what’s up bro how are you much love

What about the heavy haul Pete?

Just an idea maybe get your wheels covers wrapped to look like there different wheels.

That 2015 or 2014 Mack. You may be better off selling whole so you don’t have so much work on yourself so you can get other things done that you want to get done. Plus less moving parts like that 6x2 , less money to spend for the owner. Just like I prefer a 2 wheel drive truck than a 4x4 due to parts getting too expensive now a days to maintain. Just throwing the idea and in case people are looking for a truck with less moving parts option for your side business.

25 is way to high for that truck. Maybe 15, but you need to verify the motor and trans.

And its still 5-10 years behind of european trucks ie air suspension

Sick!

Hi Bruce and the guys all the way from Yorkshire England what got you into euro stiye trucks love your will it start videos keep the content 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Fitzgerald isn't used to slummin. I'm sure they will be thrilled having their trailers pulled around by a cornbinder LOL... The mattress does look comfy though.

It's no Scania but I guess it's aight because of the engine design.

Lake need peddle extensions? 😂

Inside LT. Are you ready to push that gas pedal, buddy?

These people that say about manual trucks, do they have manual cars as well?

Just imagine how much more attention it would get and hiw many it would sell if it had a V8 instead of the straight 6, not even necessarily the full 770, maybe something like the 580

& the mack kinda looks like a T.G.& SONS truck

Hi Bruce Very Nice Video ;) 😉😉😍😍

If they wanted a show truck, why didn't you get a Lonestar?

I would not sell that mack that is good truck for sure I would use ok.

From the uk that looks like peasant spec (apart from the mattress). Your scania’s are prob just as luxurious from the 90’s

Ryan got that tongue action going again. Everytime he gets excited. Now we know what his wife looks at!

i thought you may have been busy on holidays bud, i like your videos, if you wanted a filler for videos just take rough vids on your phone during the week and either make them into shorts or just normal vids, i had been thinking of making vids with minimal editing and have it more crude and rough. just wing it but now you got a good fan base you could probably take more time and edit videos. hire ryan to do the editing for you, he seems like a more of a video and editing sorta man, its good that Lake is wearing a mike now we can hear what he is saying, i wonder what could be a good idea have a side story or videos of ryan and lake working on the jeep. lake and ryans odd jobs. but yeah after a saw the whole video i noticed that international is quite impressive especially with that auto it has the sound of a manual but its auto.

Why GMC and Chevrolet not production truck like internat ,Mack ,KW,peterbilt and so on I never see. I like gm thank you

I’m surprised the dashboard has analog gauges and not completely all digital.

That dude that you let drive first, the one with the "Mud Flap" haircut, he might make a truck driver if you spend a lot of time training him.

Yeah bruce i live in Tennessee and its awesome better than Florida
