@SirAlec, same question as asked by @smilenow. Why 7 bar ?

Steering & gear changes on the current generation of trucks require much less effort than on older trucks.

I really prefer this type of a gear layout : the reverse is seperate from the forward gears. And there is no way one can get confused. (Note: on the Ikon, I have so often searched for a 6th gear before realising that that is not the 6th, but the reverse gear)

Check the pic I had posted in the CV thread :
