Well, I'm been reading long enough, I'm going to start posting, so hello to everyone!
I've seen Tatra's name mentioned occasionally, but nothing about how they actually perform. I've seen the truck-trial videos, but how are they for expedition work?
Hi, and welcome.
Like you, 'bout the only place I've seen 'em mentioned is the truck trials you speak of (where they seem to fair very well) and old cold war propoganda.
However, for an expo rig, I seriously doubt that they have the parts availability (outside of the former USSR and maybe Cuba?) of the more mainstream trucks like Mercedes, Man, Iveco, Mitsubishi, Isuzu...
I've drooled over pix of some really nice rigs put together by Unicat, ActionMobil, Lonno, Bimobil, etc, but have yet to see one based on a Tatra. There's probably a good reason...
Where do you live, and where are you planning on going with it?
