Plenty of awesome looking K200's in this video, that's forsure! What a great upload to finish the year 2024 on.

[@LauraRichards-w7y]

What an awesome comment Dallas always got nice things to say in videos and their shorts top bloke! 😎

[@TrucksAndTrailers1]

Cheers, glad you enjoyed the video!

[@Bobzcctv137]

Absolutely beautiful heavy haulers !!. Specially at night !!

[@TrucksAndTrailers1]

We agree, night time is definitely their best time.

[@Pesmog]

Great stuff thanks. The K200's look great. I wonder for how many more years they will be around before they get legislated away so that in the future they evolve to be no more than 'Kenworthized' DAF cabovers? Also, whoever makes those curtain sided trailers gets the curtains to fit so well. Many trailers in Europe have curtains that are nowhere near as tidy, taut and uniform as these. 👍

[@TrucksAndTrailers1]

Cheers for the feedback!

[@craigshrimpton5765]

They don't just get made they go to a tailor.

[@OpunktSchmidt1301]

K200 is a real highway-beauty!

[@GregoryAndrews-w7r]

100% agree with this comment here!

[@TrucksAndTrailers1]

[@TrucksAndTrailers1]

[@conradleudeuter8762]

[@LauraRichards-w7y]

Hey quick question do Hog Haulage like naming there trucks on the cab of their truck about AC/DC songs if that’s the case that is very neat work from Hog Haulage Crew. Anyways fantastic year of truck content bring on 2025 with you guys i really reckon you guys can push for 50,000 subscribers this year and become the most successful New Zealand truck spotting KZbin channel. 🎉🎉🎉

[@TrucksAndTrailers1]

Yes they do name their trucks after AC/DC songs. They have some really nice trucks!

[@jasonpoihegatama1347]

Main Freight and Owens Transport had some of the cleanest trucks

[@TrucksAndTrailers1]

Those are awesome looking rigs!

[@ghostrider9978]

Which island do they build them on ?

[@TrucksAndTrailers1]

Both islands 😎

[@CaptainRhodes_7767]

K200s are designed and built in Australia

[@darrylmackie9184]

​@@TrucksAndTrailers1BULLSHIT.

[@eugeneclarke5572]

[@TrucksAndTrailers1]

Thanks and happy new year to you

[@peterscandlyn]

Yep!

[@TrucksAndTrailers1]

👍👍👍

[@stephenchadwick4249]

the hog haulage k200 is the best in the world no debate there

[@LauraRichards-w7y]

Oh 100% but remember to respect all of the truck drivers they keep our country running!!!

[@nitsujnaej]

Long-nose prime-movers are the rule in Aussie (where B-doubles and semis are King), because of their more comfortable ride over longer distances on straighter roads. Try driving long distance on a Freightliner Argosy cabover and, you'll find out why it's called 'The Bone Shaker.' Though it's rare to see cab-overs doing long haul in Aussie, their numbers are a lot less than here in New Zealand, for the simple fact that cab-overs are better suited to windier roads and hill climbs. Due to the shorter length of a cabover, long and heavy loads can be carried within the overall length of the different trailer combinations. Though the newer 'Super-B' (our equivalent of the Aussie B-Double) has probably surpassed the older NZ 'B-Train', it's still common to see 'Truck & Trailers' and 'Semis' on NZ roads. For American 'Truckers', we Kiwi 'Truckies' don't count every single tyre on a prime-mover and semi-trailer combo and call it an '18 Wheeler.' If that were the case here in NZ, we'd end up calling a Kiwi semi, a '22, 26 and 28 Wheeler (tandem Steer)', because three and four axles on semis, have taken over the older 2-axle setup. The semi axles on NZ semi-trailers, are positioned much closer to the 'Fifth Wheel' on the primer (than in the US), because of the much tighter turning arc on NZ's windy roads. Finally, if you see NZ trucks or prime-movers with tandem (twin steering) plus double drive axles, we call that setup an '8 Wheeler.' We don't count all 12 tyres, because you might have 'Super Singles' on your rear axles.

[@TrucksAndTrailers1]

Appreciate the insight!

[@nitsujnaej]

Cheers mate from a retired truckie!

[@Beauxtrux]

I just retired from 50 years in US trucking. NZ combinations are the best looking; wish the US would catch up with the rest of the world.

[@TrucksAndTrailers1]

Thanks and happy new year to you

[@Beauxtrux]

@ Same to you...BTW, I worked for Daimler Trucks North America in sales engineering for the last 25 years, and I do think NZ Western Stars are pretty damn good looking, too!

[@BellaFranks-ur4mw]

Ehhhh that’s honestly amazing work Beau good on ya! 👏

[@TrucksAndTrailers1]

Wow that’s awesome stuff Beautrux 😱👍

[@SamLockhart-XR6]

Yo bro mean rigs can you try to find any k100 or 104

[@HawkeyeProduction]

They are very tricky to capture in New Zealand plus this video is amazing!

[@TrucksAndTrailers1]

Maybe in the future..

[@larryrayner3826]

Ah the dry hills of Marlborough😊

[@TrucksAndTrailers1]

They are absolutely amazing ain’t they

Thank you Zak

[@whitelineinmind]

Yip….NZ could well do…. except for the standard K200 steering wheel coz in one’s hands they feel like poo, as well as that and there lack of practicality to! topped off with 4 spokes and a huge hub hindering hands and limiting gauges view. Just shared thoughts personally speaking from someone who’s trucked his whole life through.🥴🚛

[@TrucksAndTrailers1]

Appreciate the feedback!

[@whitelineinmind]

@ I’d like to share with you a couple of short things… 46 years and 6 and a half million plus k’s commercially driving heavy trucks…..living a passion shared by so many of us Nth Cape to Bluff. Now…I’ve learnt of some other stuff…about ‘us’ as in people….and labelled ‘Poet’ having published two books and speak at events as I’m invited to. Trucks…good grief…one kinda toy…or machine if you like…now it’s a case of personally sharing experience, to simply help and be of benefit. Kia ora

[@paperboy...8667]

scaaniaa man talking 😢..

[@whitelineinmind]

@ aaah no Scania man actually…delivered them cab n chassis new Nationwide, and worked them like many others hard like me vigorously, and every other make truckin like others like me for nearly half a century. I just simply prefer the simple two spoked black bakerlight wheels that feel as if you’d like any truck to. ie, a pleasure to hold feeling everything simple and direct. Kia ora 🚛🌏

[@paperboy...8667]

@@whitelineinmind I can see the guages better than on my car, you know how to adjust your steering wheel.

[@BrettWilliamson]

"New Zealand Has The Best Looking K200 Kenworths In The Whole World". Considering the "Whole World" doesn't get K200's and they are made in Australia, that's a massive call. There is also a huge amount more K200's pulling much bigger combinations in Australia. Typical of NZ to claim it is the best though.

[@TrucksAndTrailers1]

Thanks for your comment

[@Gordon-r4h]

Yep ...😅.. N Z. Set the Standard..

[@МиткоПанов]

Scania and the rest of the world babe

[@josephwilliams1905]

MADE and DESIGNED IN AUSTRALIA!

[@limitededition3295]

and scania trucks too

[@TrucksAndTrailers1]

Yes they’ll be coming in the near future

[@harrisonletica]

one of them was a k220

[@TrucksAndTrailers1]

I absolutely doubt that this is a video full of New Zealand K200’s

[@Duvstep910]

🤣 they are the only country as well as austrailia to run them so of course they'd look great. Wish all the cool aussie trucks could be used in the States

[@darrylmackie9184]

These K200s are Designed and Built in AUSTRALIA, The Engineers Taking into Account THAT NZ Isn't Big Enough to TURN A LONG NOSE AROUND.

[@Gordon-r4h]

I tink it's to do with carrying more freight, as in longer trailer...that's N.Z. reason.

[@peterteohaere4986]

A lot of the logging trucks in New Zealand are long nose and thoses drivers speed around thoses bends fully loaded its pretty scary being behind them and in front of them .I think it's the drivers preference why their are a lot of cabovers. Their ain't really that many major trucking companies in Nzl anyway that buy a fleet of the same trucks anymore.

[@SLW1978]

The whole world…..you can only get K200 in Oz & Nz

[@LeeSchofield-gr4mq]

No australia does!!!

[@oriolesfan7807]

Better looking than the woman in the picture?

[@TrucksAndTrailers1]

Thanks for your comment

[@Givemealike7903]

Nice looking, noisy, uncomfortably trucks😂

[@TrucksAndTrailers1]

You know what they say about the best looking trucks though, right?

[@Gary-i9f]

You need to travel more ,alot more .There is some nice one's, granted.

[@TrucksAndTrailers1]

We agree! Cheers for the feedback

[@jimp5492]

It's obvious that you have not been to Australia as we have trucks equal to or better than what you have shown. To make a statement that you have the best K200s in the world is very sad......small island...small picker syndrome 😂
