Engine access is not so bad at all on most tilt-cab trucks, and actually neither in those small Asian trucklets that have just an under-seat hatch for engine access.




That's a downside, but it doesn't prevent COE trucks to become prevalent in a worldwide basis nowadays.




The ride doesn't really get so bad at all.
You've experience in heavy COE? Ha!
