Going over Napier taupo Rd with Carley's 270 was a struggle

[@zennybot5175]

Kind of amazing how underpowered trucks were back then for grades like that, now its nothing for a truck to have 500, 600, 700+ hp

[@c.h1645]

I dunno aye some of those old trucks dont mess around and are still in service today.

[@mariebennett5739]

We didn't consider them underpowered back then if you had 200 HP that was big gear some of us had petrol Commers 110 HP

[@Rummeltobi]

Love how most of the cabovers struggle to get up the hill while all the american trucks are rushing up there lol Great footage :)

[@Tha_bro]

Love how those weren’t American trucks your just tryna make those American trucks sound good those are Australian made trucks by the way

[@deaninwood7786]

Lots of people bag the old trucks for being slow but if you work out the hp to weight ratio they did really well

Hi Will Bishop. I am guessing that is the Napier Taupo Rd with all those logs and wool heading the same way? Great footage!

[@peterscandlyn]

Thought so too, but puzzled not seen any Pan Pac's ?

Nice video.

[@johnmoore8016]

From the videos I have seen about trucking; most of the roads have a lot of curves and a lot of hills. is just where the videos was made? are they working on talking some of the curves our of the roads and making the roads more level? thanks for the video on the older trucks. they still do a good job but are not a s beautiful as the new ones are and

That Kenny, could do 100mph, 120ton load, on the $million Highway.... With a madman behind the Wheel,... I kid you not lady's an gentlemen...

[@peterscandlyn]

Some of those old girls were working hard.

[@jamiestephenson6428]

I think the old Isuzu of progress transport probably had a 270hp engine in it. Slow but reliable trucks.
