[@vgbeastbomb8327]

Stavros969 if I was going to drive a Renault I would recommend the Renault range t high sleeper cab

[@aihamkashow1511]

can you show us volvo fh 440 or 480 please? it would be cool

[@djbarnes51]

Love the videos and I'm wondering what would be your truck any truck in Europe? As you're work horse day in day out.

[@florjantrepca]

So it's Volvo

[@mr.nobody5724]

Hello stavros I have seen your video after 2 years About issues that my father's 2012 renault premium : Top step's broken as you said in the next video Just this But thank you for your videos cause I love trucks but in my country (Iran) it is NOT a good job

[@bpkolos1974]

Thank You, Stavros969, for this positive test drive! Renault Premium is my kind o' truck for the Euro truck simulator 2

[@icyrasnow807]

i actally like the renault

[@zaidjavaid8967]

Please make more truck reviews. I really enjoy watching it

[@vgbeastbomb8327]

It is basically a bigger version of a DAF LF

[@Boeing-kf4xe]

I stopped porn for this. I do not regret it.

[@bradsyoutube]

Great job as always mate! Good to see a Renault in the hands of your expert driving. :-)

[@AmeerHamza-nv2ei]

Good Morning Stavros :) Great video again!

[@casparw1732]

Another great video !

[@kevinrdee9273]

The new t series and c series from renault are nice looking trucks . Ive never drivin them . I drove a few older renaults kerax and premium there ok ish! Thanks for the upload..its nice too see somone like yourself uploading videos. Going in too great detail on different trucks.

[@Swanston33]

Suzie is a Brand name, and you can still buy genuine Suzie air lines but now people call the lines themselves Suzie's. Similar to Dremel being used to describe all rotary tools whether they are actually made by DREMEL or not. or HIAB being a universal way to describe a lorry mounted crane even if its not actually a HIAB company crane. Awesome videos mate immediately subscribed.

[@stavros969]

Thanks Swanston33

[@blazerdurando1006]

What's the max load?

[@MrShell311]

A 'civi' example of this is "Hoover", brand name of a vacuum cleaner. Also, Googling or Kleenex. Fun fact about this wording, if a word enters the common language and become popular, (e.g. Googling to find something online), the word can lose it's copyright branding. Like you can't copyright a common English word, you can also lose claim to a "term" or "word" that becomes too popular. So big brands actually low key discourage it, even though its free promotion for them.

[@norizammastor9072]

Learned something right there.. Never thought it was actually a brand name. Back here in Malaysia we indeed also called it Suzie hose. Thx for sharing

[@Swanston33]

@@norizammastor9072 I have learned something new also! I didn't know they used the same name for it in Malaysia! Terima kasih and best wishes

Great Video stavros keep uploading😎

Stavros,just love your truck reviews. No one does a truck review this good as you.Keep doing it. And please make videos on American trucks if you get to do one by any means.

[@shaunakmistry]

Love your trucking videos! Hope to see Range T someday.

[@victorzamokuhle9969]

Thanks so much for your videos

[@generalkalani4552]

Another great video off the bat! This is a very good truck for trucker trainees, you should make a review of a Renault Magnum. Cheers.

[@lubovavidea2832]

Stavros, is your real name Bruce Dickinson? :D thank you for all your amazing truck reviews, I love the information included in them, I've never seen any videos similar to your ones, and this is what I was looking for, thank you once again!

I thought he was actually Rob Brydon doing a 2nd job on the QT. He has the Irish accent off pat....

Nobody questions Stavros969, he gotta have more airhorn!

Nice video 👍 Greetings from Poland mate!

[@tamiyaniko8867]

Your driving is great ❤️

[@norizammastor9072]

Back here in Malaysia in 06-08 drove the UK recond unit Premium 385. The engine is suit for my 30tonne cement bulk load and credit to its cabin all round air ride because comparing Volvo FM or Scania of its class it was the best cabin suspension. Sorry for my broken English. Cheers.

[@passangerinflouti4372]

in my country this trucks are dominating the road they are awesome very relabel and strong trucks and I mean they hit the Sahara in here Renault trucks are my 2 best trucks

[@flysrangers9101]

At my country Volvo and Scania are most desire truck to work with.... Renault are hard to seen...

do you work for rory lynch? thanks for another great video Stavros keep up the good work.

[@friendlytexangamer9582]

I remember that I used to hate Renaults but now that's changed. 4 years ago I was hating on a French Truck Manufacturer and now I no longer do. Things change. I lost that "Windows 10" Account because it was made with a School Account, I have learned from my mistakes and used an account that is wholly owned by me. And seeing my comment in the QnA Video gives me a lot of nostalgia. Thanks for the Content. Hope to see more from you!

[@PillSharks]

I had one for a few months and I hated the thing, it had more rattles than my 30 year old Land Rover!

[@stavros969]

I'll have a video coming up soon discussing these issues Pill Sharks

I am a son of a renault primium driver and my dad died in a primium becauseof its brakes didnt engage

[@alig.20]

This comment killed my day, my condolences...

[@norizammastor9072]

Sorry to hear.. RIP to him..

[@isaacsmith1874]

That is unbelievable, but if that is true RIP to him.

[@vgbeastbomb8327]

The reason why the Renault has everything off a Volvo is because Volvo owns mack who owns Renault trucks

[@jonathanbjrklund8851]

If you want you channel to be «next level» try to do more detailed videos like testing the lights at night with high beam low beam etc. Get more details like that and it would be way more interesting to watch, the video wont be much longer and for a review like this the video is suposed to be long. I like your videos, youre the only youtuber ive seen making these videos. Right now im studing for being a truck driver

[@erenkoilehersey7946]

Good truck

Nice Renault premium

I passed my C+E in a Premium not long ago. It will always be my favourite

Plz do a renault T520 review or another version and tell your opinion. I hear that it is indeed a very good and competitive truck

[@anithaprabhakar309]

I would love to see you give the reviews of the 2017 Scania P,G and L series..... Ok may be not L series.... At least the 2017 Scania P and G series........

[@MichaelLKW-Fahrer]

I drive the new Volvo FE rigid and the one thing I hate is not being able to use the oil dipstick, it's such a simple & reliable way to check the oil levels. I don't trust the in cab level indicator.

[@bertcremery806]

please drive in a renault magnum

[@ccooper8785]

Great video, many thanks. Daft question....Do exhaust brakes and retarders mean that the tyre life of the axles they act upon wear out very quickly?

[@stavros969]

C Cooper They actually save on tyre wear and brake disc wear, cheer’s

[@mikestewart7322]

Hi Stavros, nice vid, thanks👍🏻 Forget what I said about the MAN, this is very crude truck and she doesn’t wear her miles very well. Does your man Mr Lynch have any modern( recent) trucks or is this and the MAN his normal fleet?

[@stavros969]

Cheer's Mike Stewart there will be more to come

[@shauny13uk]

Stavros thank you again for a great video. The Renault Premium I drove was back in the late 1990's. Had the softest bunk of any wagon I used (over slept a few times...) now the bad thing I disliked was the steps to Catwalk were on the nearside (kerb) like on yours but all the other trucks i had driven were on the offside (drivers) i was forever smacking my legs and once or twice twisted back and knees going for nonexistent steps, not good when changing 3 or 4 trailers in the dark per night on night-trunks. Oh Stavros mine had this thing just to left of my seat... I think it was called a gear stick or selector, anyways so much play on it i thought it was for stirring my tea... lol I learnt something new today... Volvo engine and gearbox in a Renault (nice).

[@stavros969]

Cheer's Shaun Moore thanks

[@keansantang136]

Nice to see your video But can you tilt the cabin when you review every truck to see engine in,,,

[@matthewwilliamson484]

I'd love to see an s 730 stavros

[@rabeashamah2396]

Hi . First of all I to thank you for your good video about renault premium but I like you make some videos about this truck computer to know more about it. Rabea from egypt

[@Cyclone-od7ih]

A bit late to the party but I always heard they were called Suzies as a nickname for suspended pigtails.

[@AndreasMadsen]

Hey i know I'm a bit late to the party (only just found your channel) but here's the origin of the name for the air coils. It dates back to the 50s i believe. It's called "susie" , not "suzie" as many tend to do. It's an acronym - SUSpended Insulated Electrical lead - Susie Lead. Hope that clears up the confusion. Thanks for the vids!

[@norizammastor9072]

Wow it's not only a brand name but also an acronym.. Learned something right there and thank you for sharing.. Impressed with your input my friend. Cheers

[@driverchrisinahgv6102]

The lamp under the bonnet a good idea same it not led

[@callumwharton6735]

Iv driven scanias,volvos,renualts,mercs and mans and I had a 460 excellence premium and was to this one of the best truck iv had it was 2013 but I also had a 2008 450 and when you put it into the power mode it pulled like train! Id even shock scania drivers in 500'560 and 580 v8 when I came pissing past them like they were standing still . And I was always on 44t only problem I had with both was the window screens used to leek in rain And used to blow bulbs alot

[@ashrithpolali8632]

showcase the volvo vnl 860 plz

What's your opinion on the daf xf?

[@perlamiseriaccia]

I think It is ok for local deliveries, but it could be annoying for long routes, it doesn't have a lot of comfort equipment like scania/volvo or actross and new daf

Whats up with the steering wheel wobble Stravos?

You'll pay a lot less for this than a Scania so that's your difference. Great video once again, love the truck videos. It is about time you found an a Volvo tho 😉😉😉. Take care mate

[@brynevans1531]

You should test drive the band new scania p series and put it in a video because I love your reviews and I would like your opinion on it personally I think it is not as good as the last gen version of it.

[@stavros969]

Hopefully i can get one to shoot a video on sometime Bryn Evans

[@brynevans1531]

Stavros969 Thanks your the best youtuber

[@cajonesy]

Everyone says it's a Volvo engine it is true it's the SAME engine as a Volvo but most of Volvo's engines are developed by Duetz I know the D7E engine you get in the midlum and premium ridgeds are definitely a Duetz engine

[@MrShell311]

As an agency driver, I cringe when I'm told I'll be driving the Renault Premium. From the look of exterior and feel of the interior, it's not a desirable truck. But perhaps they've just aged terribly. HATE the gear selector. Go into Drive, then into Reverse! Back to Neutral out of Reverse to go back to Drive. Takes a few extra seconds sometimes to get the motion right, often jumping forward or high revving. Glad to see the next generation improved massively! Gear selector is still....errrgh. But everything else is brilliant.

[@mahinahmed2316]

Do the trailer wheels have suspention on them

[@krystiansieminski363]

Hi Stavros, I have to tell You that when Renault and Mack came out with Magnum E9 it was a WOW truck,yes a WOW truck and it was Renault- the lack and lag,was the quality finish-just not a long lasting truck-but a WOW truck.Now these are as everyone call the shit-trucks,I do not know about the new ones,but these are worth nothing,even Russians drivers do not want to buy them,the mechanics hate them.Its a nightmare.Scary thing to own one,but some people do like the challenges, ha ha, just kidding-a joke.

The only common logic as to why Susies are called so that I can come up with is because they are SUSpended betweem the tractor unit and trailer complete shot in the dark.
