All we run is Renaults, tried them all and Renaults service is just top tier. Can’t beat them
We missed your reviews man, good to see you back.
What is this dude thinking he can't behave like a trucker and climb into his cab put the pedal to the metal and leave us all in the mirrors and the dust.
😉
@@bendermi I have no clue what you said, but I fully agree with what you said.
i don't know much about trucks, but ive always liked how renault semis looked
You know my dream it to drive those trucks in uk all the way from Zimbabwe. One day is one day
I'm pretty pleased with MAN so far, found them really reliable and thus far I'm gonna continue with them
They have good engine and gearbox good value for the money.
I would go for the Volvo, if the money isn't the first thing to think of.
@@bendermi I've rented a Volvo FH 500 some time ago, it had some issue with the exhaust after treatment. I can't speak for all Volvos, I think they're actually good it's just that I had a bad experience with that particular unit. MAN are quite simple to figure out that's why I prefer them

Rent Trucks are finger fucked by different people I wouldn't build an opinion on things gone through other people's hands.
I'm a scania fan and currently drive a newgen 450 but so many companies seem to be opting for the Renault so as you say they are offering a good deal so has to be serious contender , nice to see you back ! 👍
I’ve never driven a T high and would certainly like to get a run in one but going by it’s looks they are one of the nicest looking trucks on the road
Driven Renault trucks back home from the time it was Renault/Dodge in the year 2000 before it was Renault/Vovlo we’ve a few Renaults in our Fuel Tanker fleet and a new T-High ridged truck and barrel with a draw-bar trailer on the way, been a great truck in our fleet the lads have had no trouble with them, and they’ve gotten good use road/off-road wise,
I’m here in New Zealand now driving big 58tonne Kenworth trucks…
In general the Renualt T-480 is a very solid truck, i really do like the design and some of the features it has.
Scania every time for me. And always the bigger engine. Company buyers just don’t seem to get the bigger engine doesn’t struggle to pull the weight but the smaller ones rev higher and use more fuel
Yeah. I really don’t understand their thinking. At our company we drive a lot of DAFs and mostly they’re LF180 6 speed 14t box trucks and CF300 20t trucks. I drive such an LF and you need to absolutely rev the nuts off that thing to get even a little speed. I’d be lucky to reach 60kph before I’m on the highway. And that is in the flat Netherlands.
Those CFs aren’t much better though.
Company just doesn’t seem to get that more hp engines make for easier and smoother driving and no need to have your foot flat to the floor all the time. It saves fuel costs, maintenance costs and you have happier drivers as well.
@@moxxiiblue9894
It's about investment too , but it's well spent money because they're easier to sell afterwards.
500hp is plenty for general haulage
@@footcrab
What do you consider general haulage?
General haulage.
🤦🤣🤣🤣

I like how you explained everything, your videos are remarkable
Good to see you on video again Stavros ! 💪🏼
The 480 premium is my daily drive so i know pretty much everything about the truck. You dont need to to push the parking brake off it will do it itself with a gentle press on the gas from stationary. The fuel setting is probably in standard mode but can be adjusted from the dashboard display using the scroll function. It will change up quicker in position 3. I like them, nice and spacious compared to other makes. Good video and i love the colour and the bling. Unfortunatley XPO units are all white and pretty much straight out of the box.
I have always loved the exterior design of the Renault T. Beautiful truck!
Happy to see you again, Stavros. Stay safe out there 👍
Your #1 fan from Ghana 🇬🇭
What nice drive for new Renault....I love to drive.
Hi stav I like to watch your video out of all the trucker youtubers. You do very good job telling the detail information about trucks. I wish you could make a video on Asian and American truck manufacturers. Using online trucks videos available from trucks manufacturers and informing the vehicle details specifications through your videos.
Nice to see you back haven't seen you in quite a while 👍
Hi Stavros! Nice to see you again with this new video man. Regards!
Recently got a Renault premium 460 DXi 11, not as bad as is said. Definitely upgrading to T range in a couple of weeks.
for me its good truck of course only if it has double clutch transmission love your videos greetings from croatia.
Morning Stavros . A nice looking machine.
Stravro welcome back bro I ev been missing you it's you who inspired me to ev dream of going to America and do truck driving I wish one Day God gives me that chance coz I love truck driving
Nice to see you again Stavros ☺👍
Very clean I love the truck
Great video Stavros, It all comes down to number crunching, go for the best repair & maintenance over 5 years, preferably for the biggest engine you can afford. Less stress driving on todays roads. Does not matter what what truck you go for, todays vehicles are all pretty reliable.
Not me, I go to an army surplus yard to find a nice low mileage 6x4 Scammell Crusader that starts and runs ,a lovely canvas to put my paint on. Good old fashioned 3406E KittyCat with Jacobs engine compression brake, souped up to 600 plus ponies, my own gearbox based on an Allison CL750 6 speed auto with direct manual control, 3 speed brownie plus overdrive aux box , twirling a short geared Rockwell SQHD or SQRD double drive bogie on 315\80\ R,22,5 Michelins topped off by a 9 ton capacity Kirkstall front axle also shod with 385/65/ R,22,5 Michelin rubber . Want a good hill climber, bags of torque between 900,1800 rpm, cliing onto the higher gears without screaming her b------s off, the paintwork maybe mank, cab short on toys and luxuries to keep the driver happy but the Scammell will do the job.
i would have loved to give a Renault a go, but they just don't have enough power for the conditions here in Norway. we run 50t-60t and in our fleet which, aside from one 2022 Volvo FH 500 is Scania 5 and NG ranging from 490hp to 730hp, the 650 and 660 trucks are the ones that has the best combination of power and fuel usage.
That's strange because Renault has the same engine as Volvo up to 520hp.And with the TC engine with 480hp you have 2700nm of torque.
@@knoppenkearl
Good to know that you think it's strange too .
Have a nice evening.
:)
@@knoppenkearl
We need to know the engine speed too .
I learned in a Renault truck and it had that same gearing quirk of having to put it in drive and then reverse. I never understood it and it’s one of the reasons I preferred the DAF to learn in.
Stav, this thing of 1 month gap is killing me man...🤣😁👍..
Man... It's killing me too
I would recommend the MAN 2021... Much better truck than any other in the market today and MAN still offers 640 HP engines so quite a good deal I'd say
Great video Stavros, plenty of good information
Good job Stavros 👌👍
Very nice ❤
Driving in UAE 🇦🇪 T460 renault beautiful truck
Hello stavross good to see you
👋Good morning
Its 3pm here in Philipines sir👍❤️
Dual Clutch Turbo Compound Volvo 500 HP 2800 NM. More responsive gears [as you said yourself in the drive] and a slightly wider torque curve.
I refeer renault trucks because of the interiors❤️
Hey Stavros we have just put a new man TGX 640 on the road it has been totally fault free unlike the Scania and Volvo’s we’ve had in the past we would recommend the MAN
A really interesting video well done very informative 👍👍
I am a DAF guy, but the Renault is tempting
our fleet is mostly renault T's or merc actros's they been phasing the mercs out for the Renaults.. makes sense if they getting a decent service package out of it. and no one wants to drive the mercs (they gen 1 and the mirrors are absolutely useless as well as the driver "aids" )... be nice if they get a scania or two by the time I get my licence but I doubt it .
A red seat belt make it easier for the Police to see that you have it fastened.
I love Renault t high 480 when I was in Qatar al bakashab trucking company
2700 nm of torque is a very gd number for 480 hp
Great video stavros 👍
My only gripes with the renault are the position of the speedometer it needs to be placed lower on the dash, and the lack of better placed cup holders
Value for money I'd say Renault & there lovely to drive
Great video. I think those T highs are a good looking truck, much better than the lower cab version. Looks much better than the Volvo it's based on.
Hi Stavros.... I am also a big Scania V8 man. But I would go for the Scania Super 560.
I’m no trucker but I feel like after reading the comments it seems like a good and bad truck
Been driving a T since launch its about time they put a better interior in it, It's a forest of cheap horrible plastic got to be the worst currently on the market.
Scania Streamline 4×2 becouse îs great truck and great stile and V8 Engen and full horsepower. Great thu se you back and God bless you. And what your favorite truck?
I am currently driving Renault premium but Volvo is the beast
I would go for the Volvo because of the better front axle and more torque through the revrange .
What do you mean by the better axle?
@@JackkLeee
Volvo has always had better handling because of their front axle and they're keeping on developing it .
@@JackkLeee
Search for here on TH-cam.

@@JackkLeee
Now you know why the Volvo always has been the better truck?
I now have a new Renault after 18 years of driving Volvo.I can say it's a better truck and less fuel consumption as a similar Volvo FH.
Daf to me are currently my favorite for mid power. If you need more than 500 hp, Scania 1st, Volvo 2nd. Renault, MAN & Iveco aren't even in contention.
This is the truck I drive in Europe!
Great Renault truck
T High 520!... Anyone heard that? It means we got two Trucks in one video! 😮.
epic review. thanks! have a nice sunday!
Nice video Stavros,but you never mentioned Mercedes like a possible choice,but everything else😁
Spoke to a driver the other week and he said The Magnums bigger then the T High.Would be go to do a review against this and one of the latter Magnums
Funny place to put air tanks. But cool truck!
Stavros I would like to see a video of Scania S730T full tour and test drive ❤
I hate that I have never seen a Renault truck in South Africa yet they give us all the newest Volvo's
I have never seen a Renault truck in Australia either. There are a lot of Volvos as they have a factory here that makes both Volvo and Mack.
These trucks is strong
stavros could you just tell me which truck you prefer drive in all of the trucks in europe
damn so many Guiness trucks makes me need a beer and I do not have any :-)
I like daf, man, macedes.
If you move the driver's seat to the other side (left-hand drive cab being French) puts the storage bins in the correct orientation?
looks nice
mercedes edition 1 love that truck
grate review
The models are 1:64 scale from Corgi. They don't make most of them anymore.
I would go for either the daf xg or the Mercedes new actros.
Please bring to the usa
Just had one for 4 days not as good as they make out to be the cruise control broke the suspension went funky on me and no where to put anything and it only had 375 on the clock
Good luck my friend i am from indonesia
Up limerick😄❤
You know you’re driving a crappie truck when they give you a truck with an empty trailer for you to check out 🤣
You should try to get a go in a new Scania with Super engine
most beautiful
Happily Renault designer got the good idea to renew the front lights and also of course the steering wheel adjustement but I'm not sure that's enough for me to like this cab. No doubt about the engine, it's a Volvo origin so that'mean good for the power but that's all. The look is the choice of everyone and I definitely do not like Renault.
Greatings from Brittany.
I would take peterbilt 379 long hood with 6NZ Cat engine; manual 18 speed, and 336 rears. This is a coffin; it’s not comfortable and space less. This truck is more of a local driving not over the road
What does that cost Stavros?
Get a Scania, because they are very nice looking trucks
Volvo FH 500 TC for my !
Another great video Stavros. I wonder how noticeable the torque is at lower rpm when fully loaded with the turbo compound engine.
Coworker went from a Volvo 560 dualclutch to a 500 Turbo Compound dualclutch and says the 500 Turbo Compound pulls better. Torque always wins when it comes to trucks.
The Renault might have Volvo dna but the interior is cheap plastic, electrical gremlins seem commonplace as well, having said that plenty of operators run them, Volvo is let down by their cab interior, the new Daf looks like a good truck but hasn’t been around long enough to prove itself against the problems on the previous model, I had a MAN on demo, quite impressed but not sure on the longevity/reliability as they get a few miles under their belt, currently in a Merc so far so good, decent cab, rides well, good fuel economy, time will tell if it pays off, Scania is a nice truck but is overpriced and not as good as people will have you believe, to be fair they have built a good brand name and drivers love them for the kudos, Iveco have always had a good drivetrain but the rest randomly fell apart, maybe the new model will be an improvement.
All trucks have their faults/problems, as an operator it comes down to the package offered by the dealer (and their location/reputation) it’s a shame we cannot take the good parts from all manufacturers and create the perfect truck!
Nice to see you back Stavros
I would suggest MAN❤
i am pretty sure the only thing on that, that is Renault is the cab as everything else is volvo ?
Scania all day long 👍
Hi l'am stavros welcome to ....
🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🚛🚛🚛my favourite track
I would vote for Volvo or MAN for their technology and reliability.
I'd go with MAN
Renault seriously need to work on the interior department .

A Board!!. Luxury.
I go scania hard to beat
Either MAN or Volvo
