I still love my ole kenworth. Now that im retired and pulling my fifthwheel camper with it i think it will last till i pass. Cheaper than spending 90k on a 35 or 4500 to pull it. Only real problem i had back in the day was getting a volvo fixed there just wasn't enough dealerships . Back in the day i loved ole Whites. Then volvo bought the then put volvo name on it and call it good. Whites always rode good.
I remember the Whites my pops drove a old mid roof white Rollins Rental until his Pete came out the shop they rode pretty good they had that Curvy shifter like the internationals
Right? I have not seen an "all new design" for last 15 years. An all new design to me would be if they started offering a tiny shower where one of the cabinets/storage is. I could use the top/upper bunk for storage instead, but I would much rather have a easily accessible shower anytime i want.
Awesome! But one thing it needs to have is an APU. Like an RV genset. Batteries can only last so long and unless one idles the engine for extended periods that won’t be for long. And a genset can power electric block heaters as well as the HVAC, so less risk of fire from an FFCH.

Just curious, how hard would it be to install a small shower where one of the cabinets is? I would rather have that and have single bed and use top bunk section for storage.

As I always say, volvo steals interior from freightliner, looks like S…t. Terrible look inside, 3 small cabinets for OTR driver! No storage at all. Fridge is small, ugly mirrors. I have 860 now, will never get one of this new designs. Junk.

Thank you very much for the video review of the truck. This is the best available, very detailed and very interesting video review of New Volvo VNL
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
All new redesigned sleeper looks just like my ‘98 VN770

@@bxp1696 those are cool but add so much weight. I’ll save that for the super sleepers. I do have a top bunk on mine.
With an interior like that I’m ready to switch back to Volvo
Looks like Volvo hit a Grand Slam with that truck....Outstanding

Great point!
Needs a 750 or 780 HP Volvo engine gearbox axles put in and that’s job done !!!

@@brianpenny-o7e you missed my point
Where is the hanging locker space? Where is the large fridge that the previous model had? I'm a Volvo guy from '96 when I got my CDL. Epic fail Volvo!
In The Netherlands is more power more fun.
That neon green color is tacky. 🤦
Your complaint is the color of those handles? Haha
its a volvo what do you expect lmao

Can BOTH Driver & Passenger doors or the door panels fit on any older VnL?
No they cant
Lol were you going to just replace your doors?!
@@mrbryguy5831 my Question was for those that has Older Volvo VNL with manual transmission
