Default Do you like Freightliner Argosy trucks? Cabovers for the uniformed.

Freightliner Argosy. The one American cabover Biglorryblog could fall in love with...honest. And that's your last for today! (BigLorryBlog)

Really cool pics. Didn't know there were so many. Which one do you like?

This is pretty cool too

My Son used to drive this Argosy B train, it has a 550 Cat & the only bad thing with it was the auto gear box.

I could only dream of driving a rig like that. Instead I drive a crappy castrated Roadway truck!

The Argosy was not a very good design nor was the swing out step set.
The step set had (or still has) a good tendency to become useless (like a COE is to me) and the fusees were not available even thru the dealer.
The trucks as well had (or still have) a tendency to ignite internally in FIRE and have (and may continue to) KILL occupants usually sleeping.

Argosy: A good ANCHOR for a small freighter.
