Scania 730 R and Scania 730 S comparison

[p.kwaker]

So i have bought both of the new trucks, but i cannot see much of a difference between the two. Could someone tell me what the difference is and which one is better?

Thanks in advanced!

dunno tbh... I didn´t drive both yet or triwed all options for them... I just can say that so far i ♥♥♥♥♥♥ love the sounds of these trucks... Tested with Scania R 730 so far... damn nice sounding truck... engine, turbo, shifting, retarder, everything :)

The s series is taller than the r series. That is all I could see by switching btween them in the scania store.

Is there an 8X4 Chassis for the S?
For the R there isn´t, that much i know :)

No

I think they will get 8x options in the future. Scania is very open with SCS so I have no doubt it will happen, but it might not be a priority.

No doubt Mohegan, was just my guess that might be the difference between R and S, one being "potentially heavier" :)

It is taller because it has a flat floor inside the cabin.

SCANIA hit the jackpot by introducing the new S series, not only because in English Alphabet letter S is after letter R, therefore after R series, the new one will be the S series, but also because the new S series is actually the new Streamline ; flat floor, taller, prettier.

arguable. I like the exterior of the R more... ;)

for me both look like a interior and exterior facelift.. nothing new about it..
but oh well a truck is truck no point complaining :)

S = bigger cab & flat floor. Better for the long hauls. That's about it.

Also R-series is or will be available with manual transmission in real, while S-series is automatic only. So if you like to play realistically and use a manual shifter (and, of course, mods to get manual transmissions) you might want to choose R over S for that reason.
