garco ◊ 2007-03-16 23:05	Why not Volvo F7? What means the 'T'. I can not find any info about that.
Exiv96 ◊ 2007-03-16 23:08	Small Volvo trucks had a special name in the USA. Not F but either FE or FS. And I never heard of TF before. -- Last edit: 2007-03-16 23:08:48
Hiergehts ◊ 2007-03-17 08:38	I also think it's a Volvo F7 and "TF7"
philgood ◊ 2007-03-17 20:07	I have a 1981 Volvo documentation :It' s right, it can be a F7 weight 35 tons or a TF7 :21/ 24,99/28 or 32 tons, both have the same engine 235 hp SAE
tore-40 ◊ 2012-06-27 19:04	@garco: In general, the `L` (Lastvagn or in English Lorry) was replaced during the 60's by the `F` (Flat or Short-Nosed in English) and the `N` (Näse or Nose, i.e. Long-Nosed, not so hard to guess) The letter tended starting in the 70's to be followed by the engine displacement in liters. With subsequent additions and exceptions. So F7 spells a 7 liters engine in a flat-nosed truck, medium sized, introduced as of MY 1979, btw. This is the short version of the story. Guess you knew that. The `T` could indicate either an All-Tarrain truck, or, as here, a tractor for pulling a semi. This may as well be an `F`, though. -- Last edit: 2012-06-27 21:32:14
