The February 22 T&D kicks the new year off in style with new paper, and a legendary Editor’s Choice!
We’re delighted to welcome you to the 2022 version of Truck & Driver, which is packed with all the great content you’ve come accustomed to now! Loads of lorries from new to old, show winners to work horses. It’s great to have the famous Royal Centurion Scania 143 back a Editor’s Choice 30 years after it was first on the cover of the magazine. The truck has been on some adventures since then, and been brought back from the brink by new owner Michael Taylor and his team at MST. It’s also on the centre pages as it was back in 1992! Here’s full rundown of the features in this issue.
