Thank you Stavros for this lovely Mercedes video, just a tad sad you could not get your hands on a Mega space top of the range one. But I loved your showing around and the little trip out. Made this Mercedes fan very happy indeed. I appreciate all your hard work put into the Truck, Car and the surprise appearances of other Vehicles in the videos. Great work Stavros and thank you.

Yes Stavros! Thank you for another truck video. Now i gotta start watching this video :)

[@00ky]

Loving your videos, keep them coming

[@Trucker_John_Boy]

I have to admit I love the Actros. I use a 2545 for work and it is a very good and comfortable truck to drive. I have the slightly larger one with the flat floor so it has an extra step and can take a bit of used to. The gearbox is a bit dim-whitted when it comes to heavy loads but most of my work involves a full length trailer with appx 4-5T on so is more than capable for that sort of work and averages around 10-10.5MPG (it will manage heavy loads fine but probly a good idea to shift it into manual for that especially on motorways for the hills) As for the styling I love it very well laid out and easy to reach buttons but the speakers are a bit naff when it comes to bass. overall I would take an Actros over most others in the "fleet" spec range of trucks.

[@Mateussimuladores]

Wonderful quality Wonderful Channel More trucks videos

[@andrivif]

Used to drive the previous model Actros, a 2012 2651 and loved it in every way (and still do love it) however after switching to a 750 Volvo FH16 and then to a Scania R520 I realised how underpowered the Merc really is. But it was and still is a dream to drive, takes you anywhere you need to go in good comfort...just takes some time doing it.

[@nesh2003]

I believe they were programmed to be in such way to extent it's longevity of their product...they are slow in hills so that not to overheat their parts all unlike their competitors all which will use their full power...look at the export market, the actors is the most most favourite truck to the 3 world country and they will say it outlast many of their rivals....in my country they prefer Volvo due to parts availability..

[@mornadu]

The Actros is good if you go for the stronger models. Gearbox isnt as good as volvo i-shift but its much better than the old generations of Mercedes powershift units. For Norwegian roads its a bit too soft on the front axle, hitting the bump stop a bit early. I prefer Scania and Volvo but its a good truck. Thanks for sharing with us Stavros

[@aleksi3679]

One question is that can you drive a million km without changing engine? :D I still prefer Scania too.

[@RR10Gaming]

Aleksi I have owned one with 1.7 million kms never missed a beat it was a Mercedes atego 1823

[@RR10Gaming]

mornadu the auto boxs aren't that great the semi auto is brilliant it pulls like a train

[@sevenscounty409]

In the African context, the actros mp1, mp2, mp3 were the most reliable trucks and you can not imagine modifications made to them to be driven into the middle of nowhere with no roads and mud roads.

[@BoswellZacheus]

❤ great job

[@omaradel5553]

Excellent job stavros 👌, and I love this model of truck so much ♥ ♥.

[@TomskiZima]

Ive been in a 1843 the last few weeks, and its the worst ride ive expeienced by a mile, 4 wheelers can be bad but its a joke, our old dafs are better😂 my only other complaint is feeling like you sit a bit high because of the low window positions but gives good visibility! Keep up videos, always enjoyable! 👍🏻

Hi Stavros, Your truck videos are well done and your knowledge of trucks is very refreshing to truck enthusiasists like us, please do a video on the old mercedes trucks (LAK1624/LAK2624/LAK1113). Thank you.

[@Mr.M1STER]

In my opinion the truck look nice from the outside but the interior looks very dated. Those gauges look very old fashioned. Also would it not make more sense for them to make the driver side outside storage compartment bigger than the passenger side. It would save the driver walking around the truck to get things. Just my thoughts on it. She is no Scania.

[@TheJStoney]

Mr.Mister the compartment is bigger on the passenger side because the Steering wheel is on the wrong side. I’m not trying to make a joke. The truck is build as LHD and is adapted to RHD. ALSO, this is a very basic spec’d truck from the looks of it.

[@Mr.M1STER]

selig stoney Okay. Thanks for the info.

[@shitbmxrider]

That, and the air intake is under the RHS locker box

[@makes528]

Yeah it's not as boring as Scania

[@ArchieMakuwa]

Nice truck. Very popular in (South) Africa... Unlike the Scanias.

[@angrysocialjusticewarrior]

It's South Africa, not "(South) Africa". The "South" part is not optional.

[@sevenscounty409]

Scanias are very much reliable unlike this useless Mercedes actros mp4. Literally the worst actros ever made by Daimler

[@angrysocialjusticewarrior]

@@sevenscounty409 What is unreliable about it? I thought it was better than the MP3 since the MP3 always had people crying. Does the MP4 breakdown often?

[@cwindigo6919]

*crickets*

[@jacques.greyling]

​@@angrysocialjusticewarrior until they finalize it, running 40+ tons on tri-axle or super-links, the prop-shaft universals seem to be failing, but the MP5 doesn't seem to have the problem so far...

Please upload review of DAF trucks.I love your truck review videos

[@jgirtman012]

Makes me thankful for my 2017 Peterbilt 389. I feel sorry for all of you that have to be stuck in these small tractors.

[@jgirtman012]

Glorias I completely understand that but when it comes to your tractor being your home away from home, I want a little bit of space to have all the stuff I need plus be able to stretch out a little.

[@SDav21]

I don't know much about trucks but they are very interesting. Having so many gears and the various functions is so interesting. It must be something engineering something to pull such heavy loads for hundreds of thousands of kilometers with minimal down time. It's so cool all of this. Who makes the best trucks by the way? I've watched a few of these videos of yours and the Mercedes one look well made in a typical German fashion.

[@jamesmuffins3330]

Generally Scandinavian trucks beat all, but its personal preference.

[@roybotley729]

I drive one of these I have the flat floor one very comfortable but lacks power big time and when pulling away from a junction sometimes it stops halfway out to find a different gear it's not 1 year old yet and already had 4 recalls

[@kevthetrucker]

Same issues with mine, doesn't know what gear to be in when pulling away, fairly basic cab, bit dated now too

it wasn't entering in eco mode because maybe it wasn't configured to have eco mod, for example my Mercedes doesn't have power mode but it has Eco mode

[@josephcunningham7426]

yers ago working for the orange company they set their trucks at 55 mph it was horrible lose momentum for hills now you can drive the speed limit so even with less power you can hold gears longer to cap hills

[@josephcunningham7426]

mercedes purchased freightliner in the u.s.so to compete in the conventional market they are nice vehicles got to have a nose on a truck

[@nurusaadu8125]

I love the truck it's amazing 👌I use mp1 1843 I wish if can get this🙏

apparently the air brake system is different than the u,s with an emergency lever versus two buttons for tractor and trailer

[@josephcunningham7426]

also use a trolley or trailer lever for hills to truck doen,t roll back while attempting to move foorward from a hill I guess you use your emergency lever for that

Kilometres and litres per/100 km is the norm. Miles per hour are as outdated as using a sundial to tell the time. The US and UK are probably the last places left . . .

[@mousumidutta5363]

what price to the truck ?

[@josephcunningham7426]

that is a good amount of power just going to slow need to go a least 100 kilometer in the u.s your going 70 mph

[@Trucker_John_Boy]

in EU trucks aren't allowed to do more that 60MPH on motorways but for some daft reason there is a speed limiter which can not be set higher than 56MPH. Work that one out lol

[@mikestewart7322]

Hi Stavros, a nice vid again matey, just don’t like this truck, very primitive interior. Why don’t they make all their cabs full width.? Probably the mega space (daf)? Is much better. Merc just look like they’ve built this truck down to a price.cheers 👍🏻🚚

[@shitbmxrider]

Actros comes in 2.3m wide and 2.5m wide cabs, this is the 2.3m wide cab, which is better for getting in and out multiple times a day, with a more staggered step layout.

[@FromeSomersetCarnivals]

Drove one of these today and I mean in real life, I must say the gear boxes are absolutely shocking. And it was an Auto as well. Worst one I drove so far. I am going to say this, I prefer a Renault Premium over this.
