The one you like most. There is no best truck in the game. All are sufficiently strong, some high end engines are overpowered unless you use the oversize load DLCs. But, as in reality, even these are possible with 14 litre 6 cylinder enginges. Also on special transports I usually see trucks with maximum of 600 hp.
Make your decision by the looks, which one you have the best overview over the road around you or can read best the dashboard.

I would take one that has dashboard Gps at lvl 0. Rest get it at lvl 12 and it kind of sucks to drive without one. You can change truck later anyway. You can check that from wiki. https://truck-simulator.fandom.com/wiki/Euro_Truck_Simulator_2_Trucks

Volvo and Scania have the most powerful engine options lategame, while Renault and Iveco have the least powerful. Aside from that, there is no practical difference between them.

This!!

There is no reason to drive a truck in the game that you do not like.

Or get the interior DLC for a few bucks and stick a portable GPS to the windscreen.

Scania rules supreme, in game the have the best looking interiors (to me) and they are also amazing on the outside, many real life truckers say scanias are the best as well.

The one that, for your taste, has the most appealing cab, dashboard and engine sounds.

Take the one that has wheels.

How long ago was the last "best truck" spam topic? I'm asking for a friend of course. <eg>

take a look at the graphical state of the truck first, there is surprisingly huge leap in model quality between the models.
