Why no cabover trucks on the road anymore? Well, there are a few reasons.
One is looks. It seems that while people generally think cabover semi trucks, particularly custom cabover semis like the freightliner, peterbilt, kenworth cabovers we’ve featured here a few times, look cool, the impression of cabover vans and trucks isn’t so universally positive. However, there are still a lot of people who think vans and trucks also look cool as cabovers. I mean pickup trucks.
Safety is another reason. Cabovers are notorious for causing drivers to be “first one at the scene” of an accident. There is no hood to protect drivers.
However, cabovers are still popular – more popular than in North America – in other parts of the world, partially because in some places like Europe, there are different length regulations for vehicles, and cabovers make more economic sense to owner operators and transport companies.
You can find more cabover stuff in our vehicle directory, where we’ve indexed them and a bunch of other customizers, builders, companies, dealers, and you name it. For more cabover trucks, click here.
