I AM old! Retired now, but you didn't miss anything not driving the General or it's sibling the Chevy Bison. Their turning radius was awful! I drove a long-ish Pete and the General was one of our local Ryder shop's sub tractors. One turn in particular, entering the industrial park where we were based, with the General I always had to take three swipes at the sharp turn because the truck wouldn't turn tight enough. Made it with my Pete, AND the other sub truck at the shop was a long-long Mack Superliner with a product blower mounted behind the cab. Always made it with that too. Happy evaluating! I can't drive anymore, but still miss it at 3 AM when the trucks lumber past my house.
Trucks that people may never have heard of, and then proceeds to list W900 (Smokey and the Bandit) and the Mack R series (Mad Max 2). As for the GMC Astro, they were sold in the U.K. and Europe, and GMC even had a dealership in Holland. There weren’t a lot of them in comparison to British and European brands, but I do remember seeing them on the roads when I was a child and they could be seen as far as the Middle East, due to there usage on Long Haul work.
I drove an Astro through the southwestern US many times. The "green house" windshield made it almost unbearable even with AC. Didn't miss waving it goodbye.
Peterbilt 359?? Those things were (and still are...) as common as DIRT! You'd have to have an IQ lower than the drinking age to have "never heard of" one.....
@@miscellaneous5697 I wish I could post a picture on here. In 1986, my first assigned truck was a 1977 Kenworth K100, back when cabovers ruled the asphalt. I liked them. Far easier to maneuver than trucks with noses. It's pretty telling that the United States in the only country where cabovers fell out of favor. My picture would have been me washing "my" Kenworth in a snowstorm because I wanted a clean truck!
0:43,The GMC "Crackerbox". In the 1970's TV 📺series Movin' On Moose & Benji (Rosey Grier) drove one of those.They called it "The Pig pen" 🐖. It eventually got burned in one episode. That thing looked like a fugitive from a junkyard compared to the Sundance, (Sonny's Kenworth).
I noticed that they didn't mention the outrageous expanse of windshield on the Astro's and Titans which made driving through the desert LITERAL HELL!!!!
The GMC Astro was a Decent riding truck for a cabover. Dad owned many different trucks along the way. Brockway, Autocar AT64, GMC General, Dodge Bighorns, Bicentennial Edition Aerodynes Cabover and W900, Liberty Edition W900, Peterbilt 359 Patriots, Western Star. I still own a few of them as I bought the Trucking company from my Dad in 1990.
Good video but most Truckers those of us that love Trucks and Trucking Culture know about these brands and models that were all listed in the video. You got other brands like Autocar, Brown, Hayes, Pacific, Federal, Hendrickson, Marmon and Diamond Reo. The list goes on. Be nice to hear about those.
lol... I so badly want to convert a 76 star 4800 and just drive around North America. The 2025 fully auto Volvo's just don't have the same character as the goblin with the Detroit engine and 4 and 5 transmission.
I've seen movies involving big rigs like Black Dog, License To Kill, Terminator 2, and Maximum Overdrive. That Peterbilt big rig in Black Dog survived despite missing the right front light.
I’m sorry this video is junk. You discuss the manufacturing of a Peterbilt 359 and show an International S-series cab assembly line. Then you interchange images of the Fleetstar and S-series when discussing the Loadstar. Then mention the Freightliner FLD but show an FLC, the predecessor to the FLD, which didn’t debut until 1989. I stopped watching after that.
They also mentioned that those GMC cabovers came with automatic transmissions. Now I might be wrong, but I've never seen or heard of any of them with automatic transmissions
Good video but going by the content and compared to the title this could be considered click bait as someone that has been around trucks his whole life was expecting something like a Kenworth C500 Twin Steer or some of the old Canadian logging trucks from back in the mid 1900’s to the 1980’s. This video just showed normal Class 8 trucks from the top brands. Also, in the first comment someone compliments your video then asks you about how to start out in cryptocurrency with $10,000 to start. 33 comments only about finances follow that comment which, did I mention, is the first comment that pops up. Every comment also seems to have a Chinese tone to them in the way that they flow.
Modern trucker here, Paccar is garbage. Cummins drives so much better and they stay together. Small displacement semi motors are not suited for 90k+ . I flat out won't drive for people that buy under powered junk or automatics. I got a pretty darn new Freightliner auto while my T800 18 speed was in the shop. I'm not kidding when I say I'd rather drive a 300 hp twin stick at 105,00. That thing was an absolute pile of shit. Absolutely terrible burn it to the ground. I'll stick to my KW and Pete's with 550 hp+ and 18's. I'll row a tired old twin stick before I get in another fucking automatic.
The video title is garbage. It should be "10 random old popular US trucks". Where is the Pacifics and the oil field Kenny's? There isn't much of big trucks in this video.
Awesome video. Can you do 10 FAMOUS 🚛 in🎞 and 📺 Shows? That would be great to see. Don't you think? Please leave a like and comment to see 10 FAMOUS 🚛 in 🎞 and 📺 Shows. Please and Thank you.
Great video! I really do have a question. For someone with less than $10,000 to invest, how would you recommend we enter the crypto market? I am looking at studying some traders and copying their strategy rather than investing myself and losing money emotionally. What's your take on this approach?
VENTURING into the trading world without the help of a profesionals, trading and expecting profit is like turning water into wine you would need a miracle...
GOOD CONTENT !!! Very engaging right from the beginning These are tough and frankly I appreciate how you discuss global finances in such a delicate way. Business and investment.
Experted Ann Marie strunk was my hope during the 'bear summer' last year. I did so many mistakes but also learned so much from it, and of course from Maria strunk.
Just sold a property in Alaska and I'm thinking to put the cash in stocks, I know everyone is saying it's ripe but Is this a time to buy stocks? How long until a full recovery? How are other people in the same market raking in over $450k gains within months, I'm really just confused at this point.
Downhill racer,,or dragonfly,,cuz you had to drag its ass uphill and then fly down the other side..only one i ever owned 5hat ran good 2as the one i stuffed a 12v71 into
These AI narrator videos are really starting to piss me off. I get that you don't want to pay some human to read your script,but you really need to fact check this shit before robo voice starts sprouting it. A lotta wrong info, incomplete info. Etc. Plus these were the most popular and common rigs on the roads of a couple continents.
I feel old. I've driven them all but the general. Now I sit in the passenger seat and evaluate others.

What a waste of 20 minutes, all these were well known and popular in the 60s and 70s!
Ya I think this channel is a tad r tarded
Unless everyone is 60 years old this is me info for new drivers
Amen brudda
Okay wait a minute. How was the paccar mx13 in a w900a if the production of the mx13 started in 2010 and the A model 900 ended in 1982!?
Peterbilt 359?? Those things were (and still are...) as common as DIRT! You'd have to have an IQ lower than the drinking age to have "never heard of" one.....
Nun of those trucks surprised me I still got to see those as a kid in the 90s and early 2000s...
I drove trucks for 30 years, I drove all of the trucks mentioned.
I’m only 17 and I go bonkers when I see a cabover on the road. On average, I see 1 per month

No Brockway or Marmon or Western Star.
Heard of the latter two...probably buy a Western Star X57 if I return to the USA...Detroit Diesel
Diamond T and Diamond Reo
Marmon is the Rolls Royce of trucks
I like the 9370 international eagle dash in the peterbuilt part
Title opposite of content. "Biggest trucks you may never heard of" and then you list off 7 of the most common and well known in America. What a joke.
I lasted until they brought up the Peter junk, and that’s enough for me! I’m gone!

A good video on U S trucks but would be better with some of the lesser known examples.
And look at that the most iconic semi trucks.
I noticed that they didn't mention the outrageous expanse of windshield on the Astro's and Titans which made driving through the desert LITERAL HELL!!!!

Time to watch Maximum Overdrive again! Thx for the vid

I am a retired truck 🚒 driver n a big fan of Mack r model I am 87 n a. 35 year driver
You're lasting well Old Fella...hope you don't creek too much
You talk about the 359 and show an International mid range interior. What a Joke.
Exactly!
It wasn't Harry Worthington, the founders of Kenworth were Harry Kent and Edgar Worthington
It's AI being dumb
I've seen movies involving big rigs like Black Dog, License To Kill, Terminator 2, and Maximum Overdrive. That Peterbilt big rig in Black Dog survived despite missing the right front light.
Cabeovers need a comeback.
This truck was known for its streamline and aerodynamic design - if you look past the massive grill, the size of a barn door.
The bird was not the factory hood ornament
Nothing new here. Drove most. Must have been written by someone new to trucking.
Brockway.....nope..... diamond reo.... no....marmon....no... autocar.....no... early freightliner...no...hmmm
The only people not ever heard of any of these is someone who never like Trucks

Click bait. These are neither the biggest, nor are they "never heard of", as they are the most popular trucks in recent history.
They mentioned a Detroit Series 60 and the Very next picture was of a Cummins. 🤦♂️

I thought this was a video of trucks we've never heard of? I've heard of all of these. Still a great video though
I drove a truck that had a 13 under transmission when in Az.

None of these trucks are a surprise I ever drove several of them.
You forgot Hendrickson trucks.
I’ve driven most of the trucks shown.
If it was a 1967 Peterbilt it would not have a Cat 3406B unless it traveled in time.
the "A" in Freightliner stands for aerodynamic
In 1967 the truck would have been a White Freightliner
And most of the Freightliners shown were not FLD’. They were actually FLC’s
Love the gmc astros !!!
Trucks you never heard of. Peterbuilt 359 yea whatever
The doors on my astros where aluminum,the floors were galvinized i burned one to scrap it and had enuf aluminum to barely fill a bushel basket
You completely missed Marmon, White, the early Western Star, and Ford.
If you like trucks, have a look at the game called snowrunner. Most of the trucks in this video are in it.
The video title is garbage. It should be "10 random old popular US trucks". Where is the Pacifics and the oil field Kenny's? There isn't much of big trucks in this video.
Lesser known with legendary status how about that! And never heard of a w900,wow!! 🤦🏻♂️
Define “biggest”
No Diamond Reo
So many gm trucks ive never seen!!
This video's caption is off putting I've known every single one of these trucks.
The title is BS as your pictures do not reflect the model
Weird...GMC with British reg plate?
AI made?
I had a 85 359 short hood that was beauti

Love heavy trucks. Hate pickup trucks.
I gave up when he mentioned the MX13 engine. Gutless
Thanks for the memories 👍
The swan I should have said
My dad has a loadstar bus
Click bait! Every rig on here is Americas most popular. 😴
Good grief..Every truck on here are or have been on farms around my home even some on our farm....This is satire.

Better than your freight shakers!!!!
@karltonhall9625 freight shakers still had a better ride, lesser rattles.
I drove GMC Astro and Mack Both Cab over
