That new Globetrotter is pretty nice for a truck. Not as nice as the new merc though.

That is some seriously cool technology! Those test drivers have some serious balls aswell, that truck gets proper f*cking close to the car!
Doesnt even own a 306.

TBH, all trucks should be able to do that with a decent EBD system and good tyres.
It's just most of them don't have it, haulage and tractors are waaaay behind with brake regulations, etc. Some of the tractor/trailer combos used to be downright scary loaded up with 30 tons and with only a transmission brake on the rear wheels of the tractor....(I'm talking two feet on the pedal and hold them there for about a half a minute until it stops!)
