2020 Volvo VNL 760 owner review I have 217k miles on my truck and in this video i will be doing a review of how the truck is holding up. Comment and Subscribe
I know that these trucks are driven across the whole country with loaded trailers many times, but it’s still crazy to see over 200k miles on any vehicle that’s a year old. It’s still 2020, and this truck is a 2020 model with 200k!
200k Miles for this truck that's just the break in period, but they will run to a million miles. but yes you are right for a 2020 year model 200k miles is crazy to see
The thing about Volvos is that they introduce the new model year more than 6 months early. So a “one year old” truck could easily have been in service for 18 months or more. 200K in 18 months is actually taking it pretty easy.
I bought the 770 VNL 1999 Model from Arrow Truck Sales in New Jersey in 2000, after owning a KW T600 1993 model from 1996 to 2000. I sold the VNL 770 in 2004, and bought a Century Class Freightliner 2002 model from 2004 to 2008. I bought the same truck you have now in 2008 I was a VNL780 2006 model. I sold it in 2015. I loved it so much that I bought my second VNL780 2014 Model. fortunately its got the 13 speed manual. I have 680K miles on it, and now I am not sure if I want to buy another one. I have been in the trucking game sine 1996, and I am looking for an exit strategy from the industry with a soft landing. Thank you for the video. You have a beautiful truck. Your steering tire a classic Volvo issue. The front end is heavy. My 1999 VNL 770 had a 475 CAT, right before Volvo and Cat had a big breakup and that was terrible for warranty work. That truck was 13000 lbs empty on the steers. You go to Volvo and they tell you to take it to CAT and vice versa. That was one of the reasons I went Freightliner in 2004. Anyways, take care of it. You will get a good resale once its paid for. I always have had people wanting to buy my trucks as I take good care of them. It helps. All the Best.
One guy told me that about every 30000 miles I have to rotate only front tires cus he said that we most drive in the right lane and from the weight of our trucks every road is messed up the worst on right lane and it makes sense to me.
My wife and I drive a 2018 and it’s been a electrical nightmare. Been without heat in the bunk for 2 yrs we gave up and use a hair dryer for heat.. check light light stays on all the time. They clear it and as so as we get back on the road it comes back on so I finally fixed it myself with a peace of black tape can’t see it no more. Cabinet door hinges came apart. We use to like Volvo but not this one Thanks Volvo excellent quality control!!!
@@azk5071 Yes, most definitely. It gives another perspective and little things to consider. The voice over is a good little change up too! That helps with things me and my brother wouldn't really think about.
I like your thorough video reviews of trucks, and I'd like to see a thorough video tour of an international lt, I've seen other videos on youtube of that truck, but they aren't as detailed as your videos, keep up the good work
Thankyou very much! Im working on making videos of the all trucks model year 2021 will do my best to get a thorough video of the International as well.
My company switched to Internationals and I am not impressed. Several engines have blown up. Lots of transmission failures, one died with less than 5k miles, and the 2nd one went at about 100k. The back windows have exploded (daycabs) and just seem...like cheap made trash.
It’s not uncommon for the driver side steer tire to wear faster. This happens on many trucks. My solution is to replace the steers at the start of every winter. That way I have the most tread depth in the worst conditions. I move those used tires to my trailer but one could also sell them as used and get more than just a casing credit.
I have a 2021 volvo vnl 760 and I already put 130k miles on it truck and same thing with the steer tires I too got 120k miles out my steer tires but found out that the front tires need to be balanced I put centramatic wheel balances on mine and 10k miles later looks like it resolved the issue but will definitely know in the future. I heard the dealer don't balance the steer tires the rear but that's just a rumor I heard and just like you're truck my 2021 has not gave me no issues at all I'm making money and not losing so I'm good with the monthly payments
This truck looks awesome and runs pretty decent but from my experience the 2020 is really flimsy and faulty. I think Volvo was more concerned about esthetics (red/blue led lights) than durability. The wipers stall, air conditioner fan is unreliable after a full day driving often won't blow, been fixed twice still same thing, the closet doors completely stopped latching, hazard lights malfunctions, if you're driving high speed and let the window down sometimes the wind will blow the glass off line and window won't go back up. I could go on and on 🤐 🤫lol but hope you've been having better luck with yours! Looks really nice 😊
I also experienced most of these problems, The built quality isn't as good as it used to be because of high demand for trucks nowadays and manufacturers can't keep up with the quality check.
Volvo eu models seem to hold much better interior wise even in 3rd world countries.. we have mining trucks of scana and volvo in oparation and they have made more than a million miles in 10yrs yet the interior is holding up, yes it's patched up at every corner and the trucks here are always loaded over their gvw and drivers floor them . Already developed holes in exhaust system and all but still running everyday up and down the coal mines. And the oparators wouldn't be spending 2x on volvo or scania if they could have gone away with cummins or mercedes powered TATA trucks.
have a disfunctional wiper blades believe it or not is extremely dangerous. I had a prostar with a similiar wiper blade problem. couldn't see nothing out of it in rain. just a stupid simple part of the truck makes the whole thing dangerous in a big rig. You would think they can engineer wiper blades correctly for a $150k+ truck, dont know if it is some trucks many trucks or all trucks, but I do know they happen way too often.
Hi there What is you average fuel consumption since day 1 , and what is your average loaded weight ? I am just about to complete trade in deal 2017 volvo 670 for 2021 volvo 760 . I have average 7.5 mpg or 31 L / 100 km on 520k miles, hopefully you got better than that. Please let me know. Thanks
@@azk5071 Thanks for the answer. I am surprised new truck is not better than 7mpg. My truck is locked at 65 mph, do you drive faster than that and do you carry heavy loads maybe ?
Just an update to anyone interested, I am in new 760 for last two months and based on same kind of loads and simular weather new truck has 10% better fuel consumption than the old one. I am with volvo's over 18 years and 760 with 455hp is best on fuel yet.
I personally wouldn't recommend the super singles. You loose some traction if them and if they blow out its a more expensive fix and most likely damage the rim
I personally like Volvo thats why i got one but they are both nice it depends which engine you prefer, and the body style. But the D13 is a great engine in my opinion
@@jadb8452 you can still option an x15 with the volvo, I think the d13 might be better on fuel and I've never had one betray me before but people say they're the worst thing ever
Great you like you’re truck, I have 780 with 900000mi, it’s braking down to often but I bought it with 6000000mi, Could you help me to find a good deal please? I live in Houston TX
These trucks do good till about 600,000 miles and then it starts to need more major repairs and maintenance. Any truck pretty much is like that if you want a more reliable truck just buy with lower mileage. I would recommend to get a truck with 300,000 miles if your starting off, you will get to drive a lot and you can also get a good deal on the price
My friends driving a Volvo day cay. It’s a 2020 model. The driver door is having issues closing, and the windshield wipers are having issues and not working properly. The truck doesn’t even have 100k miles on it. Weird, bc I figured Volvo’s were great trucks.

@@bradh6185 that explains it. I was going to buy a Mack Anthem 2023 model next year. But after seeing what’s happening to Volvo, I’ll be getting a 579 Pete instead. China fucks everything up.
2018 300K Volvo VNL 760. Bad oil sensor, wiper motor issues, bad led strap on headlights, water leak on upper small cabin window. Very poor engine break performance on 7% grade when loaded.
Truck is good ... But person is some kind of cyborg. Even team drive . You will be retired before your truck .... and unlike the truck. Your health guarantee cannot be extended or a new spine can be purchased . Think about that...

The mattress in the sleeper feels amazing.
Wow! 2020 Volvo VNL 760 with 200k miles. That’s a lot of driving, and it’s doing really good!

Awesome review thanks 😊
Excellent video, my brother and I look forward to these type of vidoes! We both plan on getting new ones soon. Be sure to make a 300k review😁
Would you be intrested in videos of me talking about what i like about the truck and what i dont?

Great informational video! I have a 2016 VNL670 that is paid off and I was thinking about trading it in on a new Volvo for more space.
Man this truck is my dream truck, hopefully swift gives me one soon. Nice vid btw
Thankyou, yeah if you get this truck you will be happy with it.
Thought they're pretty much all cascadia
This video was very helpful 👍🏼 Please do a review of one of the new or newer Kenworth trucks!
I'm glad to hear that. I'm working on getting the 2021 year model truck videos out soon
Very informative review. I like the button transmission switcher things, also known as the gearbox 😂
Gear box is located by the transmission thats actually the gear switch controls
@@azk5071 OOOOO nice.
I personally prefer the little joystick by the seat, it's so easy to use
Excellent drone footage at the end!
Thankyou would you guys want to see more drone footage iin my videos in beginning or end of video?

@@trossk a26 engines? Because I've heard they're not reliable, if I had to choose international, it'd have a cummins
@@darkranger869 the 2020s have the nx cummins i think. The 2021 have the new international designed stuff. I am not 100% sure since i dont drive them.
Nice looking truck. I subscribed to your channel. Big improvement over the VNL 670. BIGGER BUNK AREA.
Thankyou for subscribing, i agree with you and the 860 is even bigger bunk area than the 760.
Nice truck video
It’s not uncommon for the driver side steer tire to wear faster. This happens on many trucks. My solution is to replace the steers at the start of every winter.

Your truck look nice with the light
Thankyou😀
It's auto but I love it, things and time change.
very nice truck............
Thankyou
The wiper sticking is a loose nut in the motor very easy fix take the cap of the wiper motor off you will see the screw
200k miles and an easy check engine light fix, not bad.
Spent 2 days at the dealer thats it
Not bad for 200k miles at all
Aftertreatment is pretty much one of those things
Can you tell me,please,what AC cooling system is that(with the gel battery)? I mean brand and price...
👍👍👍👍👍
Hi AZ K. Did you get that AC system from the factory, or did you install it aftermarket? What brand is it?
From the factory
What can of ac unit do you have on the truck

How much is a truck like your new? Is there much wiggle room when you negotiated?
Not now

Great video
I noticed that you don't have an exhaust pipe at the back! How come? Tx
It comes out underneath the truck
Thank for the vid, I'm trying to figure out if I want a Freightliner or Volvo SNL 860. Just want something that is reliable & comfortable.
@Mark Levy Thanks for the info, when you had the Volvo was it reliable or did you have a lot of issues with the truck?
@Mark Levy yes indeed you have a point
Volvos feel waaaay more sure footed on the highway
I read few comments below, and I figure out the freightliner cascadia it's more ability than these Volvo trucks...
Watch your idling because that's what kills your emissions equipment faster than anything
What is the engine and axle ratio? How much more did AC cost?
D13
Hi there
What is you average fuel consumption since day 1 , and what is your average loaded weight ?
I am just about to complete trade in deal 2017 volvo 670 for 2021 volvo 760 .
I have average 7.5 mpg or 31 L / 100 km on 520k miles, hopefully you got better than that.
Please let me know.
Thanks
Im getting 7mpg, thats because i drive through a lot of mountain states. You will get 8mpg if you drive through flat terrain states

Do an interior
Is there a non dually version? I want to get one but I only want 4 wheels not 10.
They have super singles if you arent intrested in the doubles
AZ K thats good to hear
I personally wouldn't recommend the super singles. You loose some traction if them and if they blow out its a more expensive fix and most likely damage the rim
Don't get stupid erm super singles. Expensive and can't drive if one of them blows.
Porque o Brasil não frabica esse caminhão aqui isso que não entendo
get balancers , but no good for winter or shimmy shocks like a steering stabilizer
What is the price of the truck
Why do you sleep on the lower bed? Isn't there a table down? I think it's better to sleep up and have a table down)) ✌️😎 Deuces!!!
My truck doesn't have the table, its just a storage under the bed. I would love to have a table there tho.
Nice... Who installed this AC on battery and where? If it is straight from Volvo , how they call this option?
Yes it was ordered from Volvo but I'm not sure what it's called, it was a $6k option
between the volvo d13 and t680 with cummins witch is a better truck?
I personally like Volvo thats why i got one but they are both nice it depends which engine you prefer, and the body style. But the D13 is a great engine in my opinion
