Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

design in trim and interior colours and the seats look very posh with the new upholstery. The Super Space Cab is very spacious, and that also goes for the storage space, with big lockers and a large, easy-to-reach area beneath the bed. The test truck also came equipped with the optional sliding drawer.

The Super Space Cab is still 'Super Spacious', but time i-es taken its toll. The door frames in the side windows are inherited from the past, and the yellow paint visible on the door interiors make it almost a retro design. This concept needs some serious refreshing. Let's not forget that this Super Space Cab goes back a long way. A The MX engine Improvement more powerfut It all started with the Space Cab in 1986. Ever slice then, 480hp competitors

the DAF SSC has gone through a lot of improvement, bit by bit, year by year. It was lengthened with the introduction of the first Super Space Cab, and the introduction of the XF105 saw a new higher roof line. You could almost think it is about time for a totally new cab. But since the law seldom ever chances, and the engines still fit underneath, the XF105 has gone about as far as it can realistically go at the moment within the approved legal dimensions, of course.

The MX engine Is a powerhouse that does the job. With only 460hp, the DAF keeps up with competitors that boast 480hp under the hood. One of the key reasons is its high torque of 2,300Nm between 1,000rpm and 1,410rpm.
