New MAN TGX truck tour | Farm road test

[@pauljohn6637]

MAN, just got voted Truck of the year 2021. That’s quite an achievement. Perhaps there wasn’t to much competition this year, but there seems to be high hopes for this modified updated truck. Scott, it will be interesting to watch your follow up video and summary of this motor. Looking in from North America I like the DAFs to be honest. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇺🇸

[@English.Andy1]

Mind the paint work!!! Lovely to see she’s still got mirrors.

[@matty6848]

I must admit I didn’t take to the camera’s in my Actros at first, but now I’ve got used to them I find them far superior to mirrors. It’s like most new ideas people take a negative view, I did myself but now I’ve got used to cameras I wouldn’t go back to mirrors.

[@madMX96]

Many drivers are complaining about tiredness caused from mirror displays light...and bad visibility at night...never drove truck with them myself tho...

[@AliAli-lt7bc]

@@matty6848 its not bad at all its just a matter of preference i think same issue with old manual transmission

[@bellator11]

Gearbox shifting times sound really quick, that's nice.

[@stefanvanveenendaal5741]

I appreciated how frank you were about your impressions of the truck. Keen to see how these will be specced for the South African market - they'll probably retain the efficiency mode, but I don't see the hand wheel infotainment system really taking off to be honest. It actually seems gimmicky, and a button/touch screen combo would probably be more popular with drivers in any case.

[@kamianseniorgluten-freefoody]

Good truck good video scott 👍 especially when I'm sat watching it in Laos airport Vientiane. It's cheering me up waiting for the flight cheers ,😎😎😁👍

[@markfarminer5319]

Daf for me too. New xg looks good,but always been a daf fan and tag axle not midlift. Trucks in the UK used to be tag axle but majority are midlift? In Ireland I think mainly tag axle.

Fantastic with a sub behind the seat

[@jeffjohnson847]

Nice truck Scot I noticed your company got a new Scania did not know you had one

[@ScottAndrews]

Had it since March, I've not been allowed to drive it yet 😂

[@TheGreg6466]

what a surprise, it's blowing bulbs, just like most man's. yeah we have the one's with big subwoofers behind the drivers seat, i was surprised how good they are.

[@cloudmaker]

As a review of old model to new model I found it very well covered all aspects for the driver's point of view and it was pretty comprehensive at that. By the way even my old 2012 model just sets the revs with a quick touch of the cruise set button. Can't wait to see what you think when you've had it on a proper journey.

[@ScottAndrews]

Yeah Mine has it too, seemed to have come across on camera like I newly discovered it 🤣

[@ceemosp]

@@ScottAndrews We need to manually adjust the idle on our trucks, since we run air compressors for unloading liquids and have to keep the pressure within a certain range. Our "old" MAN allow us to do this (just as our Actros do). I hope they have the same option in the new one as well. I also agree with you on the handbrake topic - there's been more than one occasion where I had to play with the handbrake to get going at all (tankers uphill in the winter can be a momma due to the weight shifting XD). The mirrors are a big improvement though. You could hide a freight train in the blind spot of the old model. Cameras are a no-go for us, since we drive a lot of hazmat (ADR) stuff and they are not permitted.

[@nasa1985]

Brilliant video Scott.. thank you as always. The review was on point, very informative and helpful. Keep up the hard work mate. All the best.

Really good video Scott, for a car driver like myself this cab tour round a commercial truck is a real eye opener which leaves me in awe of the skill and ability of you guys.

[@matty6848]

@@philcollins967 thanks Phil. Yes it is long hours but that’s the industry and it’s how we make our money. Plus trucking now is the best it’s ever been. We now have super comfortable cabs with lovely memory foam beds, most of not all have our own WiFi so we can sit and watch movies, Netflix and surf the internet every night, Skype calls to the wife and kids back home, some truckers even have PS4’s and X Box in their cabs. We now have air conditioning, climate control, cruise control, Sat Navs which means no more carrying endless A to Z’s and road atlas looking for addresses you can’t find plus some of us get paid to tip abroad I was in France and Holland last week which was nice, so we get to see a fair bit. There’s lots of regulations and time limits on the job but now our cabs are home from home, can’t beat it when you just finished a long day, get the I pad out on your bed get Netflix on the go or gaming chilling with a nice tea brew after I’ve just had a hot meal from my fridge to microwave. It’s a job where you have to enjoy your own company but beats being stuck in a boring office or dirty factory or dealing with the public in a shop. I’m parked up now on 45 min break in Clacton on Sea and I can see the Ocean from my cab window. This is just bliss🙂👍🚛

[@ssssssss6889]

There is some Scania in that MAN!!

[@delgadito99]

Yes, there's sind SCANIA - but inside the drivers cab!

[@robsmith8272]

The aircon/heater very similar to the current Scanias. Makes sense both owned by VAG. My Daf has the worst stereos I’ve had in a truck, most basic going. Bare connectivity, buzzy speakers and doesn’t even pickup any FM channels. Good review mon.

[@TonyRodrigues63]

I Scott, in relation to the different power modes, some trucks, like the Merc. have the Eco Mode on which the set speed is 52/53 mph. whilst on Power Mode its set at 56 mph, if you go through the settings, probably the MAN has it to. Have a nice week.

[@ScottAndrews]

Power mode was taken out of the equation in this one. Very rare i found mercs with it spec'd too. Everyone wants eco mode though

[@ceemosp]

@@ScottAndrews On the Actros (just like on the MAN) it is the buyers choice. Both of ours have the Eco mode as an option but also have the regular (power) mode, although the MANs reset to Eco on each start....which is a nuissance!

[@michaelkane8206]

Nice to see they have changed the dustbin lid of a steering wheel and allowed for better steering column adjustment 👌 biggest downfall of previous MAN trucks

[@DannyPhilipsen]

Looks good, has some great interior features and some minor infotainment bugs. Looking forward to more videos with this one!

[@Jayswarno]

Great vlog mate. You don't seem overly impressed with it. Is the steering wheel still offset like the previous one? The lack of lights in the lockers is disappointing, a step backwards. The lower bunk accessibility and storage is cool. Also, your blowing bulb problem.... LED the bad boys up!!!

[@pedroosorio1672]

Hello! Gooood video! When you select the map and change it to something else, it’s safe mod. Map is to be with the vehicle stopped, to search for places. Try GPS while driving. :)

Would be good to have a security alert from diesel tanks and intruder lights to stop theft of diesel. Could have alert on handset near the bed and dashboard.would think companies would pay extra for it on various tramper truckers

Great video Scott i even held my breath for that corner 😀 thanks for the upload

[@mackman1480]

Good video of the new Man Tgx truck. Do most of the new trucks in Europe come with Automatic Transmissions now or are some guys still shifting manually. I used to own a few conventional Mack trucks in Canada which were reliable but did not have emissions on them due to the fact that they were older. Do the new trucks have many issues with SCR, DPF or EGR emissions or are they trouble free which is not the case in North America especially when off warranty.

[@truckstar90]

Drove al lot of brands, but I prefer the MAN soundsystem w/ the SUB the most. Currently I drive an Actros. Had to put in an external soundbar w/ sub in it cause the standard ones blew up in the first couple of weeks :-)

Funny old indicator sound i must say lol, looks like a stunning truck mate, seems the road legends are being spoilt with tidy gear atm :D much deserved though, Great vlog mate

[@AndrewRobertson83]

Hi Scott. Have MAN improved the gearbox to the previous model? I am driving a hired 15 plate 480 tag on logs and the gearbox is terrible! Might be ok trunking down the motorway but up in the highlands and in the wood, even the Mercedes actros has a better box and that is saying something, I hated the merc to start but now it doesn’t bother me and is really comfortable but a bit high for the country and wood roads mind you.

[@Dextar300]

Hey Scott I drive an MAN (the first model that came with lande departure etc.) as well, and my previous one was as well (the EURO 5 model, whichever one that was XD) both 400HP ones. I have to say that yes, the audio system has been HORRIBLE in those 2, super tinny, no bass, etc., I currently have the bass cranked all the way up and the highs turned down to get something that actually kinda worth listening too Also, the cruise control resume to idle up the engine should be in yours daily lorry as well, it has been in both of mine All in all, with the changes I actually can't decide if I'd want this new model or want to stick with one of the older ones, there are things I like about it, but I think there's more things I don't like. The 2 main things I don't like about the new one though are the Scania style gear selector on the stock and the electronic handbrake. Personally I think electronic handbrakes are a safety concern (especially in normal cars, but trucks as well, for those who don't know car and truck brakes work vastly different), you can't "feather" the e-brake if your main brakes would, for whatever reason, fail and stay open/free like you coan with the normal analog style. Anyway, I hope you liked the new truck and we'll probably get an updated video about your thoughts soon when you've had more time with it. Remember to keep the rubber on the road ;)

[@ScottAndrews]

The gear selector and handbrake become natural after the first day. But I get what you mean about the handbrake concerns. I have the same thoughts

I have driven the "new" Actros for a week and had the same concern. Theoretically you can feather the handbrake, since this is obliged by the law (3 independant brake systems are part of the homologation requirements) but they don't have the same feel to it.
