It's been almost 3 years since we featured Steve Ramsbotham's (aka Rambo) Peterbilt 379EXHD and this superb looking Freightliner Argosy is Rambo's latest unit to go on the road. The cabover is a contrast to the bonneted Peterbilt and was not the first choice for Rambo's new purchase. Rambo actually wanted a Kenworth but the price wasn't right and because of the high demand it would have meant waiting another 6 months. The result is a well thought out combination and gives an insight of an owner and driver extraordinaire.
The Freightliner has been fitted with numerous eXtras including a host by Custom Truck Chrome of Silverdale, Auckland. These include the Memphis Express plate which has been laser cut over a reflective backing, an after market grille, Freightliner skirts on the side of the cab, alloy panelling above the front guards and additional maker lights on the sun visor. The Argosy also features a twin 6" chassis mounted exhaust system and vertical air rams that were designed by Rambo. Finishing off the unit are four 9" offset alloy rims that according to Rambo do wonders for the steering. Inside the cab is a 20" flat screen TV.
