Truck tractor Mercedes-Benz Actros 1845
2018 Year
3.0 Price

Been on an Actros 1845 (the newer ones) a bit and yeah, the cab is the big selling point for me. It’s wide, you don’t feel boxed in, and the storage is actually useful: shelves up top, drawers, both side lockers, plus the little table. The fridge is there too, which sounds small, but on long runs it matters.

Sleeper is properly wide with a decent mattress, not that thin junk. I’m 185cm and I’m fine moving around. Controls are mostly where your hand expects them, multi-wheel does the job, and the adaptive cruise + lane assist takes some load off on highways (still gotta stay awake, obviously).

Only thing, it’s still a Mercedes price, and where I’m at parts can turn into a waiting game depending on what broke. So I wouldn’t call it stress-free ownership. But day to day comfort and driving, it’s solid.

Truck tractor DAF XF 105

I've driven the DAF XF 105 firsthand and found its handling and cabin comfort appealing. The engine performance, especially its torque range, provides a smooth highway experience. However, the absence of a trailer brake hand mechanism in the manual version requires added care. The cab space offers excellent storage, which is practical for long hauls. Overall, a reliable choice with some areas for improvement.

Truck tractor Scania R500

I’ve spent considerable time behind the wheel of the Scania R500 Streamline, and overall it’s been a solid performer for long-distance hauls. The cabin setup stands out for its comfortable layout and ease of use, which helps during extended drives. That V8 engine delivers consistent power, making highway climbs manageable even when fully loaded. However, maneuvering the vehicle in tighter town spaces can require more attention. Fuel efficiency is decent for a truck this size, although there might be room for slight improvements. Maintenance hasn’t been overly demanding, but some part replacements did take a bit longer than anticipated.

Truck tractor DAF XF
2021 Year
4.0 Price
4.0 Reliability

I’ve been running a ‘18 XF with the MX-13 paired to the TraXon twelve-speed auto. Shifting is smooth, and cruise control takes off a bit of that highway fatigue. It gets decent mpg since they overhauled the turbo and EGR, I guess. Maintenance hasn’t been anything terrible, but I had to swap a sensor once, which wasn’t cheap. Cab is decently roomy, but I kinda wish the seats had a wider range of adjustments. Still, not cramped. Wouldn’t mind a bit less noise from the engine at speed. All around, steady ride and does what I need it to do.

So, I've tested the S-Way a bit recently. The new aerodynamics are noticeable-better fuel savings compared to older models. Interior feels spacious; I appreciate the enhanced storage above the windshield. Yet, the base seating could be softer. Not a dealbreaker but worth mentioning.

Truck tractor IVECO Stralis

Having recently spent a week driving the IVECO Stralis Active Space model through its paces, I noticed its modern and spacious cabin design was certainly an improvement from prior models. The automatic Eurotronic gearbox, while smooth and responsive, does take some getting used to for those accustomed to manual shifts. However, fuel efficiency improvements were apparent, especially when maintaining optimal RPMs during highway operations. That said, the lack of manual transmission option might deter traditionalists.

Truck tractor Volvo FH

I had a chance to drive the updated Volvo FH. The I-Shift Dual Clutch transmission works smoothly, making shifts barely noticeable, even under heavy loads. Fuel efficiency surprised me, savings are noticeable. However, the tech systems required some getting used to, but overall enhanced driving. Worth trying for those considering an upgrade.

Truck tractor Volvo FH 460

Driven the FH 460 for about 2 years now, mostly across Germany and into Eastern Europe. Cab is roomy, I'll give them that, even with all my crap lying around. The fuel efficiency’s decent, especially when you’re loaded up. Didn't expect the assisted steering options to actually make a difference, but my arms aren't dead after a long shift. Had a coolant leak once, nothing wild, but getting spare parts outside major cities is a pain. Ride is alright, not the softest over rough patches, but way better than some older rigs I’ve had. Electronic stuff is finicky sometimes, had a warning light pop for no reason, went away next day. Overall gets stuff done, not perfect, but earns its keep.

I’ve been operating the Stralis NP for a few months on long-distance routes. One thing I noticed instantly is the quiet cabin; it’s surprisingly low on noise, even on highways. The visibility is another plus with the broad windshield and streamlined A-pillars, giving a clear view of the road. However, the steering, while adjustable, could feel more refined when handling tight sections, like docks. Overall, it's a solid performer with a minimal environmental footprint, an important factor these days.

I've been driving the IVECO S-Way for a few months now, primarily on long highway routes. The cab design is a massive improvement-plenty of space and comfortable seating adjustments. However, while the fuel efficiency claims seem promising, real-world savings might not match. Overall, decent truck but might need more refinement in some areas.
