Scania R500 6x2 Tractor Unit In-Depth Review

Detailed, in-depth review of the new Scania R500 6x2 XT Tractor Unit. We look at the adjustable 5th wheel for different length trailers, the suspension, the automatic braking system, the LED lights and key check system, external storage as well as the driver vision, a full look at the interior/cab's dashboard, steering wheel and all the mod cons (modern convenience).
We also take the Scania R500 driving with Daniel so watch this video or share with anyone who is about to buy a tractor unit or looking at trucks for sale at the moment.

That was a great review thanks. I have not driven a late model Scania but have driven the earlier 420 model with 6 speed manual box.

[@abdulganiu9369]

You're truly an inspiration Mr Daniel. I can't wait to drive this truck... one of my favorites.

[@Francis-qf2hr]

Man you are a genius, I love trucks and I admire the way you broke the details down, you know your stuff bro... This is probably the best review i have seen anywhere, be it auto, gadget, etc... Scania needs to pay you for this, on a serious note..

[@LA-fr7fx]

Daniel is such an inspiration - well done Sir! 👍

Fair play on acquiring gold fors. Beautiful wagon too look forward to new videos

[@DrAAAli]

This channel by far my favourite on yt.

[@The_Stronzo]

"those boys want to drive a big 730 with 200 lights on the front and bars" It's the so called "tangs" you speak of hai😂 Nah no need for a V8 round the big smoke. The dc-13 is more than enough, usual rule of thumb is 10bhp/ton, hence most supermarket brands and motorway monkeys run 440 and 450 bhp wagons. 500 is just about right o your type of work. You forgot to mention the remote night heater control via the Scania fleet up. Fair review tho, top job.

[@fboest]

Yes you need V8 when pulling heavy haul trailer with 50..60..70 tons of loads on it. You need torque to pull such a loads and yes we have 200 lights on bars 😎

[@stevengunter4990]

@@fboest yes you need torque but a volvo 750 produces round about the same as the scania 730 or 770 with way less maintanace and noise

[@NickKolythas]

But the v8 is more economical than scania 6 cylinder engines. For me the only reason you would buy a scania is for the v8

[@fboest]

@@NickKolythas who talked about V8 engine? Scania just came out with new 770hp V8 BTW. And if you look selling numbers Scania VS Man should tell why truckers prefer Scania over Man- comfort and overall Scania is on next level. But video is 👍

[@NickKolythas]

@@fboest you did. You dont need 600 or 700 horses v8 they do make v8 with 520 hp if im not wrong, you get the low down torque and use less fuel than the 6 cylinder engines that scania make.

[@hornetboy3694]

Awesome video, thank you Daniel and the team

[@janhermanvanman9581]

I am soon to become the class 1 driver, hopefully by the September. Watching this review makes me more excited, impatient, and bit nervous. Also great way of advertising company, really professional and appealing (to potential customers). Web page is great too, many companies lack that kind of approach to business.

[@markgaudie80]

I’ve been driving Scania’s for years now and I love them. Have to agree these facelift 2018 onwards models are a big step up in terms of ride comfort and interior quality.

[@chrishoggett1375]

I now drive freight trains, but I do miss my Scania. Lorry driving had more variation and challenges. Also I took a lot of pride in my truck, it was my own space. The locomotives that pull trains are used day and night and you might not see the same locomotive again for weeks. There is no pride in them. But the money in Railways is so much better. Annually I make 3x more than I could trucking working half the amount of hours.

[@thetyredude1197]

Nice review, however the reason for 315/80/22.5 tyres is not for thicker sidewalls unless your running kerbing bands which I wouldn’t advise as tyres heat up and can go bang if your doing a lot of motorway work. The real reason for 315/80/22.5 tyres is the height/ground clearance the tyre gives you for off road use & the fact the tyre has a slightly higher load rating compared to 295/80/22.5. Also I’ve seen your kit out and about and it looks lovely! Nice work!
