One of the trucks I drive is a workhorse 500 where the steering wheel blocks the whole dash display. Can't see the speedometer etc. Poor design but love that little truck. You can turn around in any driveway.
When I was involved in the car order for the US back in the 90's, the analysis of which vendor to select was based on the total cost which included mechanic training, parts stocking, gas mileage, etc. as well as the cost of the car order.
When I have to drive one of those, I drop the steering wheel down into my lap for the trip to and from the building, when I most need the speedo, then up into the usual position on area so I can get in and out of the seat smoothly.
But you can change the color of the backlight and tilt the steering wheel.
Eh? Training? We don't get that until maybe a year after the equipment is already in service, if at all.
A trained eye will give you a fair idea one of them is badly underinflated by the bulge of the sidewall.
Old habits die hard. I would still prefer the kick of tire.
Models always assumed perfection ... not reality.
I've had many older people tell me that ... I guess it's better than Mr. Ed.
Pretty boring unless you are a driver.
You match Mr. Ed's personality better than Capt. Kangaroo's.
