- This is essentially an upgraded version of the video I did years ago with the LT28. This has much better image and sound, and the weather is nicer too. It's not a doppelkabine this time, though, and no turbo either. However, the long bed is infinitely more useful.
Let me know if you'd like to see a simple drive like this in some of my other cars!
awesome video! love good old robust work vehicles. show us more videos, especially in the future in winter using the fact you're in North Finland!
He's a long boi, but also a good boi :)
They never let these types of truck into North America. The cars companies here have import barriers.
Wonderful 🙏
If I remember correct, this is the type of engine that Volvo used?
Yes, Volvo has used this engine in the 1980s, and the turbo version in the 1990s.
Do you think I should make a video showing how to access the engine? I think it would be a bit boring, but it obviously is a lot different to most today's vehicles.
@@celeron55 That would be great 🙋♂️
Feels surprisingly quiet, has it been extra insulated?
Well, it's tolerable when driving 40km/h. 60km/h feels and sounds like "fast". At the end of the video you can see what it's like to go 80km/h, but the camera is adjusting the audio level continuously so the level doesn't really come through. I can say, it's so loud that it's probably unhealthy without hearing protection. If you went to buy a new van or truck today and it sounded like this, you wouldn't spend the money. It's truly ridiculous what people put up with in the 1970s to 1990s.
