Volvo, Scania or Mercedes ? What should i choose ?

[tiemo94]

Is there a huge difference between those ? For example is one of them way faster than the other two ? I'm new so that's why i ask :-)

Drive all 3 in quick jobs a few times, and pick the one you like. I know nothing about trucks (or any type of cars for that matter), so I bought a Scania simply because I like the most how they look on the outside, and even on the inside, although I do have a few small gripes with a few indicators (I can't see the ligths button unless I signal right or left to move the turn signal lever out of the way, and there's no clear indicator that the retarder is activated, although I can hear it in my headsets). So in my point of view, drive all three, take mental notes of what you like and dislike in each, and then pick one. Eventually you'll be rolling in cash, so you can drive all three as much as you like.

Scania and Volvo are the more powerful trucks. The Scania has a 730hp and the Volvo has a 750hp. The top engine for the Mercedes is 500 something if I remeber correctly.

I prefer the Scania Streamline 730hp, it is my main profile truck and I have almost 400,000km in this truck. The Volvo is a close 2nd.

It all comes down to personal preference, all the trucks get the job done. Pick the one that you like the looks of and enjoy driving as you will spend a lot of time in it. Use quick jobs and try out the various tucks to see which you like.

Don't discount Renault, the rev counter, speedo and fuel gauge are the clearest to read whilst driving imo.That is more important than outright power for me, you don't need 700+ bhp (infact I feel more involved using my 480 bhp Renault than my 750 bhp Volvo).

Probably not a popular opinion but my humble Renault Premium is the best truck in the game (and by far my most used), best thing to do is try different ones in quick job and decide for yourself.

Absolutely Mercedes!!

I personally took a liking for the Volvo FH16 classic. Mine has the 750Hp engine although I use stock engines in the four FH16's I bought for employees.

As others have said, use quick jobs to get a feel for each truck then make an informed choice.

scania!!

I would say if you like nice interior and power, go for Volvo. But for exterior appearance and fuel consumption, the Scania Streamline will do.

[BirdDog]

Volvo,Scania,MAN for heavy loading Renault for long trip with less fuel stations like tsm map.

I liked starting out with a Volvo, as they are customizable to your liking. The Volvo Sleeper can have a 750hp engine when maxed out. Scania is good with horsepower, brakes, steering, all around a powerful well handled truck. Mercedes is big tough with little damagae input, but with all that power comes a small, gas gussling tank. Keep these in mind when buying!

Happy Trucking!

It is more the feeling, beeing in the truck, than getting from one point to another in no time. Volvo is the fastest as it is sayed in previous aswers. Feeling to sit in a Mercedes maybe like beeing the king of the road. For me Scania is the King of the road, because they have the power on the right place, but if you want to buy a real Scania, then have a biiiig pocket. They are really expensive. For high load I use definately Scania but for fast transfers I use Volvo. Mercedes Is out of my use. My clients get that kind of LKW.
