All we run is Renaults, tried them all and Renaults service is just top tier. Can’t beat them

[@mohamedmessaadi8544]

We missed your reviews man, good to see you back.

[@bendermi]

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. 😉

[@angrysocialjusticewarrior]

@@bendermi I have no clue what you said, but I fully agree with what you said.

[@williamdickson8862]

The service package offered by Renault is second to none, don't think many other manufacturers are offering the same peace of mind. The T High Evo also shows that they've listened to their customer base and really have made an effort to improve the truck for drivers and fleer managers alike.

[@pottasium7117]

i don't know much about trucks, but ive always liked how renault semis looked

[@gfinlay5855]

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…

[@bradybob01]

Good to see you on video again Stavros ! 💪🏼

[@erikpanes8794]

Happy to see you again, Stavros. Stay safe out there 👍

[@stagman4611]

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

[@moxxiiblue9894]

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.

[@bendermi]

@@moxxiiblue9894 It's about investment too , but it's well spent money because they're easier to sell afterwards.

[@footcrab]

500hp is plenty for general haulage

[@bendermi]

@@footcrab What do you consider general haulage? General haulage. 🤦🤣🤣🤣

[@Trevor_J_Neville]

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

[@deeejayhype]

I like how you explained everything, your videos are remarkable

[@assassinul95]

I'm pretty pleased with MAN so far, found them really reliable and thus far I'm gonna continue with them

[@bendermi]

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.

[@assassinul95]

@@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

[@MH-hg1tv]

​@@assassinul95 Rent Trucks are finger fucked by different people I wouldn't build an opinion on things gone through other people's hands.

[@buzbygolf]

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 ! 👍

[@johndavies965]

Nice to see you back haven't seen you in quite a while 👍

[@ajidamarjati]

Finally a new truck review video! Hope you're making more in the near future.

[@benjamindagg1043]

Really like it how you blended the part from the truck to the models and back to the truck, that was great editing and it was seamless. Like the videos

[@glennkristiansen]

Nice to see you again Stavros ☺👍

[@Jan-fr1mg]

In general the Renualt T-480 is a very solid truck, i really do like the design and some of the features it has.

[@isleofmantruckermrb8084]

Enjoyed the video chap..Excellent..One of my favourite trucks

[@fcsmusicgh1774]

Hi Stavros! Nice to see you again with this new video man. Regards!

[@jergusmacak4842]

Good job Stavros 👌👍

[@tiernans650V8]

Great video stavros 👍

[@herossivale2325]

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.

[@australiantruckspotting8883]

Great video Stavros, plenty of good information

[@emmanuelperez1878]

What nice drive for new Renault....I love to drive.

[@alangordon3283]

Morning Stavros . A nice looking machine.

[@akenyainvestments2006]

Very clean I love the truck

[@michaelstaunton1632]

A really interesting video well done very informative 👍👍

[@user-mx8pt2bq6e]

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

[@victorzamokuhle9969]

Keep up the good job From Victor South Africa

[@deeejayhype]

You know my dream it to drive those trucks in uk all the way from Zimbabwe. One day is one day

[@markbur1503]

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.

[@pro-trucker26]

Awesome video

[@sajithWB]

grate review

[@00786]

Very informative video always like❤

[@00786]

Very nice ❤ Driving in UAE 🇦🇪 T460 renault beautiful truck

[@kresimirmilisa5560]

for me its good truck of course only if it has double clutch transmission love your videos greetings from croatia.

[@fredrodinas]

I refeer renault trucks because of the interiors❤️

[@Uajd-hb1qs]

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.

[@IAmTraceBeats]

I have always loved the exterior design of the Renault T. Beautiful truck!

[@fredrodinas]

Hello stavross good to see you

[@stavros969]

👋Good morning

[@fredrodinas]

Its 3pm here in Philipines sir👍❤️

[@zambialongdistancetruckers40]

Stav, this thing of 1 month gap is killing me man...🤣😁👍..

[@BoitumeloMabena-jj2kf]

Man... It's killing me too

[@audibell]

Nice truck 🚛

[@spencerchurchyard7755]

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.

[@basiltaylor8910]

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.

[@valentine75]

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

[@patrickosullivan4021]

Value for money I'd say Renault & there lovely to drive

[@deepakgm2002]

Wow sir your explanation is so beautiful sir

[@Terraceview]

looks nice

[@msgretrogamer]

I love my Renault, I wouldn't swap it for anything.

[@aviationgeek08forever89]

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

[@marwenfarhat]

2700 nm of torque is a very gd number for 480 hp

[@bjrnarnilsen-furuvold8910]

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.

[@knoppenkearl]

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.

[@bendermi]

@@knoppenkearl Good to know that you think it's strange too . Have a nice evening. :)

[@MH-hg1tv]

@@knoppenkearl We need to know the engine speed too .

[@mariusjacobs7487]

Hi Stavros.... I am also a big Scania V8 man. But I would go for the Scania Super 560.

[@johnbell6854]

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

[@David_Crayford]

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.

[@kimjusjong8657]

Great Renault truck

[@jorgtungler7348]

Guten Abend,fahre zur Zeit MAN,bin sehr zufrieden

[@Gazzxy]

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 .

[@alvinchristopher4440]

stavros could you just tell me which truck you prefer drive in all of the trucks in europe

[@edgardonugal2758]

I love Renault t high 480 when I was in Qatar al bakashab trucking company

[@Stefan71092]

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?

[@filipzalud9825]

damn so many Guiness trucks makes me need a beer and I do not have any :-)

[@-DC-]

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.

[@anthonyxuereb792]

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?

[@thembathemba3354]

I am a DAF guy, but the Renault is tempting

[@danielshephard1157]

Stavros I would like to see a video of Scania S730T full tour and test drive ❤

[@carlessianturi4205]

Good luck my friend i am from indonesia

[@mariusjacobs7487]

Hi Stavros...can you maybe do us a video and some more info about the new Scania Super 560 S or R?

[@antonpandoursky9790]

Nice video Stavros,but you never mentioned Mercedes like a possible choice,but everything else😁

[@manifakahi2828]

most beautiful

[@chrisruttle2882]

Up limerick😄❤

[@markgreenhow7953]

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.

[@ericwalsh3200]

The dash could improved why not put in a full width drawer at the bottom and some proper drinks holders apart from that very nice truck to driver

[@MarvinlazoHernandez-zw9jh]

These trucks is strong

[@WS-gw5ms]

Funny place to put air tanks. But cool truck!

[@YARCHLRL]

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.

[@snakedoctor5482]

mercedes edition 1 love that truck

[@EuroTruckerAdventures]

This is the truck I drive in Europe!

[@ryanmitchell8640]

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

[@zakkaking2722]

T High 520!... Anyone heard that? It means we got two Trucks in one video! 😮.

[@kevcurtis2303]

Stavros Save up your pennies and come over to Australia and drive the Kenworth K220 Would be good to have an international option on a Aussie built truck

[@philiphockey7996]

Go for a Iveco cheap as chips does the job but watch out for trim parts falling off causing driver injuries.

[@bendermi]

I would go for the Volvo because of the better front axle and more torque through the revrange .

[@JackkLeee]

What do you mean by the better axle?

[@bendermi]

@@JackkLeee Volvo has always had better handling because of their front axle and they're keeping on developing it .

[@bendermi]

@@JackkLeee Search for here on KZbin. Volvo Trucks - Reveals the all-new Individual Front Suspension .

[@bendermi]

@@JackkLeee Now you know why the Volvo always has been the better truck?

[@knoppenkearl]

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.

[@Nightrider6977_Malayali_Driver]

I would suggest MAN❤

[@floody3747]

Another great video Stavros. I wonder how noticeable the torque is at lower rpm when fully loaded with the turbo compound engine.

[@jellan31]

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.

[@truckingwithwim8039]

You should try to get a go in a new Scania with Super engine

[@kevinwinter1397]

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

[@olivergunn2796]

I wonder how this compares to a 2023 Volvo FH 460/500 I-save in terms of fuel consumption

[@ezimdanielchukwunwike531]

I like daf, man, macedes.

[@luckysipatunyana7699]

I am currently driving Renault premium but Volvo is the beast

[@damien2339]

A red seat belt make it easier for the Police to see that you have it fastened.

[@naaemaadnan5650]

I’m no trucker but I feel like after reading the comments it seems like a good and bad truck

[@brianbridle951]

Long stroke helps torque.

[@AGZFreddy1983]

I would go for either the daf xg or the Mercedes new actros.

[@elhajmalicksyll321]

❤❤❤❤

[@ezreenezkandareezhairibmss7887]

The bore of an engine is the diameter of the cylinder, the stroke of an engine is how far the piston goes from top dead center to bottom dead center

[@Kiwi_NZ610]

Hi Stavros

[@awe-wy9nu]

I've noticed that in all of your test drive videos that you cruise at 80kph. Do you always cruise at that speed or do you go faster in a normal day?

[@bikekk1]

I,d say thats for legal reasons. On national roads in Ireland speed limit for HGVs is 80kph. Motorways are 90kph
