2006 SCANIA T500 V8 Full Tour & Test Drive (Let's Hear That V8 Roar)

[@tcg1_qc]

You're like the Doug Demuro of trucks

[@trevorbest]

And now... I'm going to give it a Stav Score

[@MrL1mey]

I think that's how I ended up here. I watch all of Doug's videos

[@apt155]

THIS… is a 2006 Scania T500 V8

[@MARCO-rq2ph]

Is like if an american truck and european one get a son

[@madjidhamdini1977]

Haha you're right ^^

[@nadiaprusi3685]

Hyvää

[@starlightandeverythingnice1650]

Looks like a weak little son that gets bullied

[@benukasrYT]

have you seen an american truck with a long-bonnet like this?

[@type3666]

The fact it's so interesting first european trucks are have long nose for exemple , Scania Vabis as well , Man Diesel , Mercedes N series , Volvo , Renault , Iveco , Saurer , Tatra , SR Brașov the first romanian trucks , Gaz , Zis , Praga , Daf the older model's butt in conconcinece are still the normal truck's at Fiat Iveco , Daf , etc.

[@GamesCooky]

It's in pretty good condition. I can see it's been taken good care of. It's a shame you don't see many of these T500's anymore. They look really awesome. But i guess the demand for it wasn't there.

[@antikoit444]

The Coolest of all Scanias!

[@jeffsfc3832]

Quality work as always, Stavros.

[@GoskaPL]

Ah, the V8 Torpedo Scania - one of my dream trucks

[@rosewhite---]

I passed one yesterday! It's engine was rumbling like a great locomotive!

[@Dragonballguy270]

Woohoo another T series V8!

[@gangnamgranny9785]

Nice to hear that there is still a manual option for the new Scania. It was never clear whether Scania offered a manual option or not. Hope we get to see you drive a manual Scania R or S in the near future. Keep up the good work :)

[@mickadatwist1620]

to say this Scan looks and sounds impressive is an understatement

[@AlexJeffDust-RenAzuma66]

i love the fact that scania uset the older generation cab for 15 years and also the older one still looks very current and modern

[@madjidhamdini1977]

Too sad SAAB passed out ... i dont understand why kill a good company produce good cars/engines ? one more time a story about Cash ???

[@gregshearer423]

MADJID HAMDINI a good company good companies done have huge amounts of debt like Saab did

[@jsr_ffd2]

You are my favourite truck youtuber. To the point, direct with proper motivations. Keep creating

[@PP-ed9cf]

Never been a fan of the T cab until this video. There's something quite special about this truck.

[@noahwaite8927]

I'd love to have that exact truck over here in America!

[@magnah5581]

Stavros is an experienced driver for sure I don't know how many years he has been at it but he sure has some miles under his belt

[@travelling_stephen]

Great video stavros nice to see a T cab look forward to next week's video👍

[@Roni-tm5my]

Finally tcab video i have been waiting for this, i love your videos

[@wispr]

finally good video about T on youtube

[@Dudelajk]

MINTY!! :D (For those of you who know ;)

[@geoffswan]

too much of a vibrant green.

[@RaceboyYT]

RT 87 he’s talking about jimmy broadbent I think

[@supersobes2841]

Awesome video! I love this truck! It's a real shame that Scania quit making these.

[@gm16v149]

We used to have that model T Series in Australia for a few years, but they dropped them for some reason, I think it was when their new R Series cabover was introduced. They were always tandem drive, manual transmission, factory right hand drive, and they’d generally have a bull bar and extra fuel tanks. They weren’t a high line either like in the video. A lot of them were in daycab configuration on tipper work, there’s still a few around, but I don’t know where the interstate ones went because you just don’t see them anymore.

[@GeenIdee2]

In holland a company still convert them to a T-series. That started from the moment they dropped this model, and now they also designed one on the latest generation.

[@OGMoses_]

These things are back and better than ever you can get a 770hp beast if it tickles your fancy.

[@edkieran]

not officially but its been done by vlastuin for some time

[@TheThejpmshow]

I love this guy. Enthusiasm personified

[@cm93431]

14:09 can you ask about doing one of the fire engines

[@rashwerewolf]

Отличное видео. Приятный английский. И забавно видеть, как ездят на леворукой Scania по левосторонним дорожкам, вероятно, - Британии. Но что больше всего умиляет - никакого скрипа в кабине, никакого дребезга. Лишь приятный шум двигателя и плавное покачивание сиденья на пневматике.

[@GamerKate1]

The Scania V8 sounds lovely.

[@roberthiggins6401]

That's smart!! It's the same colour as my wheelchair too.

[@jamesmason4323]

Hi from NZ. Now while Scania makes a great truck and was my first love like with so many others, I'm driving a 17' 6253 Merc tractor and it is really good.

[@nadejdajeanschmidt1015]

Nothing is better then the Sound from a Scania V8 Diesel Engine, i almost get a Orgasem evry time i start my Scania V8..Grrrr.

[@glen282]

Get a girlfriend u wanker

[@McVerne]

@@@glen282 she´s a girl u twat

[@McVerne]

@@moneymandan6217 listen punk, "Nadejda" is a girls name, you wrote your cringy answer to a girl. And the Detroit sounds ok, but it lacks 2 cylinders. Scania V8 is the King of the Road and will always be. Go drive your emission law restricted constantly breaking down Tonka toy trucks...

[@X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X]

Thank you very much for this video, Stavros!! Quite possibly my favourite truck. (quite an interesting DAF at 14:06 as well)

[@greebo7857]

My last truck ( retired now ) was a Scania R730. here in Oz we have B-Doubles and Road Trains. The Scania was truly awesome in both roles. I'd never go back to American trucks, and I prefer Scania to Volvo. Scanias ride better, and the cab is better.

[@vandanasaxena4372]

Green colour is looking cool on the truck

[@svedego]

Hey, I just wanted to say thank you for all the high quality videos 👍

[@stavros969]

svedego Thanks 🙏

[@SirBenjito]

Opticruise always used to have the additional clutch pedal. That is not a "fancy item" or even rare... Scania offers the Opticruise without clutch pedal for about 6-7 years. Before there was nothing to choose...only with clutch pedal. Which was actually very good, especially in winters.

[@garethifan1034]

They are a gorgeous truck with plenty of power and a drive that is next to none. Great review too. A firm I worked for years ago got fined by the DOT/VOSA for pulling a 45 footer behind one of these..overlength by about 3 ft if I remember right..no wonder they disappeared off our roads, you were limited to pulling tankers or tippers with them.

[@julioalvarez2334]

I dont know if its because im American but I freaking love European trucks. They just have a futuristic look old or new. I love all of them. Scania, Man, Iveco, Volvo, Daf, etc I love them all. They dont got much space, but they are so cool.

[@connork5339]

Very interesting explanation why the T Cab was discontinued. In North America the percentages were similar at the same time but reversed. Back then their were many cabovers sold in the 70's and less in the 80's. For a very long time now, no manufacturer sells cabovers in Canada or the US.

[@williambolger5296]

Interesting, I often wondered why the cabover no longer exists in the states. Length regulation has a lot to do with it in Europe also, need to have shorter trailers if tractor unit is longer -to keep within limits.

[@karlosbricks2413]

The main advantage of a T cab is the ease of maintenance as well as increased space in the cab, which in europe is overpowered by the advantage of a longer trailer a comparable cab-over can pull, whereas in the US your left with this single disadvantage and no advantage over it. sometimes a ''t cab'' design is also cheaper to buy/build

[@ricardolopez5352]

In the us they stop building coe's because they weren't fuel efficient, but in some parts they still have over length laws that would benefit having coe's on the road

[@iankirkpatrick264]

Yes they do produce and sell a cab over.....Freightliner Argosy!! Still in production....my business partner has just bought one

[@Trucker-Moosey]

As a Scania lover. This is an absolute beautiful truck. I hope to own one of these bad boys in the future! And who can forget that glorious V8 engine!

[@caleblane7619]

🇸🇪 Scania still offers this V8 in the Flagship S-Series with 730hp and 770hp Versions under the names Scania S730 and Scania S770. They currently are the only company in the World Still offering V8 Diesel Lorries. During the 2000s the German Companies 🇩🇪 Mercedes-Benz and 🇩🇪 MAN were offering V8s in their Lorries but they killed them off after 2012. What a Real Shame.

[@Trucker-Moosey]

@@caleblane7619 Thank you very much for all that information! I am from the UK and will move to Norway permanently and eventually start my own haulage company out there :) I am also planning on going to canada for a year and seeing what its like to drive those usa trucks. However my heart is set to the scanias. Dont get me wrong I like the usa trucks but scanias are just the best in the world in my opinion. Also in scandinavian countries v8s are really popular due to the rougher conditions. I know about the v8s on scanias and would love to drive a 770s I also knew MAN stopped there v8s but I didnt realise it was so recent!

[@caleblane7619]

@@Trucker-Moosey Your Welcome. I'm an American but I just love to explore the History of Cars and Lorries (My Passion) and I've known about the Euro Lorries for a While. A lot of People in the USA desire the Scania because even though it's Swedish; the idea of a V8 with Lots of Power is Traditionally very American. I tell people here all the time about French Cars (Renault, Peugeot and Citroen) as well as all the Euro Lorries (Mercedes-Benz and MAN) 🇩🇪, (Scania and Volvo) 🇸🇪, (IVECO) 🇮🇹, (Renault) 🇫🇷 and (DAF) 🇳🇱; they've never even heard of them. Most people in the USA don't even know French Cars even exist and don't realize that Volvo is Swedish or that Mercedes-Benz is German and also Engineers Lorries in addition to Cars.

[@johanneswarn5488]

Gotta love a T-cab Scania

[@jacintasweeney5340]

look at the mileage over 1 million kilometers and going like a dream

[@Romans--bo7br]

Jacinta sweeney.... In US miles, that's "only" 629,455 miles.... hardly even "broken in" yet. lol ; ) I really have to respect you drivers in the EU, Australia and many other parts of the world as well... having such small sleepers to rest in, when we have sleepers (custom built for "owner-operators" as I was for many years) that are almost as "deep" (front to back) as some of your whole power units are from nose to tail. Of course, we were in the same situation with our own COE's (Cab Over Engine) before the government finally got their collective heads out of their "rear ends" and fully removed the maximum wheelbase limits on the "power units" ("tractor"), and left it up to those in the industry who know far better, what works and what does not... depending on what their particular use was for the truck. Once they got rid of the tractor unit wheelbase laws.... the COE type power units, Very Quickly disappeared from the roads and highways here... especially those that ran "long haul" coast to coast, or pretty well anywhere.... after all, what driver wants to be the first one "there" in an accident.... with no long hood in front of you, just an 8th inch skin of aluminum and a windshield?!!?.... not to mention the fact that it is Much harder to jackknife a rig with a long wheelbase tractor, than it is with a short wheelbase. The longer the wheelbase of the tractor in relation to the length of the trailer, the better your chances of recovering from any potential jackknifing situation..... if, you know what you're doing at all... which is really questionable with the young generation that is "out there" now, pretending to be "truck drivers".... at least here in the US, sadly. Another Huge "plus" for us, was once the COE's disappeared, the truck manufacturers (as well as "aftermarket" suppliers), developed the "walk-in" sleepers.. sure is nice to be able to just get up and be able to walk into or out of your sleeper with room to freely move around, with no "dog house" to have to climb over to get in and out of the sleeping area like we had to do with the COE's... and as many fellow truckers have to put up with in many parts of the world that are restricted to short wheelbase laws on the power units. My heart truly goes out to all of you "out there", because I remember well, my early years of trucking here in the US (started in the 1960s), and having to either climb through a very small window in the back of the cab (and NO escape door from the sleeper in case of emergency, like a fire), on a "conventional" (truck with a hood - like the T500 Scania here in the video), or climbing over the "dog house" into the sleeper in a COE.

[@griankgg]

@@Romans--bo7br you can't compare an american trucks with european, I 've driven pete, kenworth, western stars, inter, freightliner, sterling, and the american trucks are many many years behind the european, now I am driving a kenworth T800 2010 isx cummins and 18 speed and I feel that I am driving an URAL 4320 from russia, too small cab like peterbilt, too unconfortable trucks right here in america, but what happen is that all the drivers believe that they have driven the best trucks in the entire planet, that's crazy, I tell my buddies if they drive an european trucka don't want to drive american trucks anymore and they get angry with me, that is the same that you want to compare any american car with an european car, America is behind the time in tecnology, fuel efficiency and comfrt for the driver, almost all the trucks have air ride suspension in the rear axles and trailers and not in the front axles, that is the most crazy that I ever seen, but here in america they thing they are the best drivers and the best in everything and have just driven american trucks, when you drive in Eurasia, siberia russian trucks and the all the auropean territory including morroco and then drive in america west coast to east coast including florida and NYC then you talk about driving and trucks, all old american truck drivers have driven here in america and want to talk about driving skills with the new generations about experience hahaha

Stavros has done one on either a 143 or 142 that was imported into Ireland from Australia, I’m not sure how to link it to you but I’d say it’s on his home page

[@GenSmashsed]

@@paddyd8936 since that comment i've worked on a restoration of a 142 T cab 😂 so i know what they're like

They should use that space behind the engine for storage. It would probably get warm but you could store some tools in there or something

[@jpierce1987]

Nice seeing how they do it on the other side of the world. I'm in the US driving a Freightliner Cascadia. I like seeing the trucks you guys drive. But, I'll stick with my HUGE sleeper. Hahaha. Stay safe out there :)

[@Rbnqss]

I think that is the one made in Holland, they do still long nose scanias from regular Scanias. Vlastuin makes torpedo models even from newest Scania series. So the interior etc is fromfirst of R series so my quess is that this is made by Vastuin from regular R - serie Scania

[@stavros969]

Perttu Karttunen This example was not built by Vlastuin, this is genuine SCANIA built T-Series

[@Rbnqss]

@@stavros969 thanks from correction! I thought that the last T - series was made with the old 4 series interior. That interior caused my confusion.

[@mickadatwist1620]

AWesome V8 noise. Todays trucks are remarkably quiet incl the fridge aggregates, which is good.

[@mummifiedcourpsse]

One thing that why scania stopped the T-series was that due to the EU restrictions on the houleige. If you can have about 2 m scored you can have more on your truck. That's more why it was discontinued and the American market why it was produced it was never a win for scania

Am I right in saying that you cannot pull a 45 ft trailer with a T cab? total length of unit and trailer legally over the limit for Irish roads? Requires a permit?

[@michaelmatthews8171]

Was thinking the same, The same in England I think...

[@MrRicharse]

Where I work they have one . It has its own short trailers.

[@owenlewis8006]

In the u.k at least that’s accurate. I drove one of these in the late 90s, on bulk tipper or tanker work they are ok because the trailers are shorter, with a standard 45ft they are over length.

[@garethifan1034]

Firm I worked for in Wales got done for pulling a 45' trailer behind one of these..over-length by 2 or 3 feet..
