What Did A Prevost XLII Royale Look Like In 2005? (14L Detroit Diesel!!)

What happens here

The presenter takes a seat in the driver's cockpit, noting the comfortable driving position with pedals positioned ideally in front of him, unlike some older models where pedals might be directly underfoot. He highlights the dashboard's layout, which he describes as resembling a commercial bus gauge cluster—an accurate observation since Prevost is primarily a bus chassis manufacturer. He points out the various controls and gauges, appreciating that less critical readouts are discreetly placed overhead. However, he criticizes the thick, large pillars that obstruct the driver's field of vision, particularly while driving, wishing for a more open view.

Goal: Evaluate the driver's experience and dashboard functionality

upscale just flash of the inside of most nulls or like the marathons liberties that kind of stuff or do you like the more traditional look like this one has let's sit down in the driver's seat here there's no air in the system right now so i'm a little low but i could tell you right now this driving position is just great i really i'm comfortable here and i'm a tall guy so i like the pedals to be in front of me not under my foot like my 96 null the pedal is like under my foot so i'm kind of driving like this and it's just not comfortable where over here my feet are out the steering wheel's in front of me it's at an angle it's nice like the you can tell these things are designed to be put down for the long haul the gauge is up there what's in here uh so you can you could change the stuff if you were driving if you needed to but it's not up in your face because it's not super important it's a nice touch all kinds of switches look like you manually level it down here too hwh my new has the exact same panel all kinds of switches up here one thing i'm not super keen on with the prevos is like the dashboard gauges because it just looks like you know this looks like a commercial bus gauge cluster it looks like a commercial bus gauge cluster because it is one and you know i don't know when you're in something like this i feel like you should have no reminder that this is a piece of industrial equipment basically in this really big pillar in here i don't think that's totally necessary but when you put the shades down it kind of you know ties them together a little bit better but from when you're driving like this is my field of vision you have giant pole here for no reason no apparent reason and over there too that obstructs your view and even this like you know cool it looks great when it's down but you know i like i like you should see
