You have to appreciate the effort Stavros goes to to make a simple driving & discussion video visually interesting, with no less than FOUR different cameras. Some trucker channels will just throw their phone on a suction mount and call it a day.

[@szlaeyer22]

So, is that mpg real? Comes out to 14.4 liters/100 km, which is indeed extremely low.

[@xST33L3x]

We finally had out new XF delivered last month after a 18 month wait on the build, they honoured the price of £89k when we ordered it. Dealer offered us £36k to just walk away from it. Shows how much the prices & demand has increased.

In malaysia a lot of recondition from Ireland truck , here we convert to 6x4 pull load between 60ton to 80ton load , in malaysia we remove adblue system and upgrade from 4x2 or 6x2 to 6x4 big hub reduction. Like this horsepower we pull very heavy load and use 4 years to 12 years

Fuel prices no concern in logistics it is the cost of carrying a load and customers pays for it. Fuel prices increase. So is your your customers price.

The air conditioning can be serviced. By removing refrigerant and replacing the drier and some other improvements your ac performance can be greatly improved.

[@themangix357]

I vote for sell and line up for a new DAF. Comfort from AC + Mirror-Cams would be worth the wait. 🙂

[@juanmolina4546]

IDK if I’d get rid of it. Pretty incredible MPG. Service all the issues. Extend warranty. She’s a keeper.

The new Daf XG is a cracking piece of kit, ..How about an ex demo truck as they always seem to have the extras fitted and save on price rather than buy new...

[@inkysquid4]

Hi Stavros if you do Scania's online configurator you can get and estimated price to see about how much your lorry would cost. Volvo and Renault don't have one and MAN's and Mercedes is shocking but IDK if they give a price. DAF and Iveco's are decent (when they're not doing software updates) and Iveco certainly gives a price but DAF only gives a price for the older generation XF's before these new ones, I believe.

[@gibbox6335]

Totally agree with price list issue. Obviously if you’re a big fleet operator you’ll get decent deals but there should be a standard stock price then all options priced. You can go on to a car manufacturer and configure the car you want with the options you want etc and get price. You can buy the same spec truck on a Monday and a Tuesday and have different prices….

[@PhantomTrueno]

Not worth it mate you'll get more value running it in the fleet than you would selling it for a short term gain

[@nelizmastr]

The price hike on the new DAF generation makes sense. Up until the last Euro6 XF they were still based on their 90's design from the very first XF. This generation is all new and more premium than they've ever tried to be. I see a decent amount of them on the roads already here in the Netherlands, so they must be doing something right there.

[@kp-qr6hy]

Unfortunately the new xg is a backward step in many areas

A new 6x2 T High 520 for that price sounds neat.

[@ai-d2121]

Selling the truck is not economical. It is like selling a normal car at 20k km. It barely is broken in. Better put in a few grand to improve the truck. My thoughts.

[@aviationgeek08forever89]

Hey Stavros, I guess this truck is still worth being kept in Rory Lynch... Few repairs here and there and it's going to be fine. The air conditioning problem is really common in Scania trucks is really common and well, can be fixed with a detailed repair. But this truck still is a nice one:)

[@victorob71]

Excellent video love the different camera angles interesting to hear about the market in buying trucks I personally like the new daf I think it’s an awesome design and for the work you do I don’t be,ieve you need over 3000nm of torque looking forward to the next video

[@jdraves1138]

Keep the S580 For another 20 years

[@vanontherun2843]

Great video, very interesting to hear some insider intel from a truck operator. But I have to ask...did the tree really hit your air horn?

[@Len_M.]

You should get some slightly bigger hose that is split and slide it up and around the area of the hose where it rubs then it won’t ever be an issue.

[@isleofmantruckermrb8084]

Enjoyed the video chap..I can see you in a DAF XG+...Excellent

[@matthewtoes6433]

You liked that DAF XF with the air suspension is that a option could you do a video on when your making your order take us too the dealership and when you go and pick one up

[@grahamhume8135]

There is not a truck better value for money in the last 3 years than the Renault T-high, what's factored into that price which the other don't offer is the 4 year bumper to bumper warranty(atleast it is in Northern Ireland). New Evo is doing better on fuel too.

[@herbie70philip]

Hi stavros. You can get airline jointers for your leaking airlines. It won’t be a permanent fix. It would do the job for a year or so.

[@donnellykieranj]

Hmm not sure but the FH turbo compound sounds to be good relative value.

[@kennethharper8417]

Hi stavos I think you should keep the scania s 580 for a littler while long. keep the great videos coming take care

Keep scania will work out better in the long run..

[@andybaker5787]

You've answered your own question with a question

[@Hypheh]

I have 11/2018 s500, having done almost 600k now. Things you have gone bad.. well, my mirror case rattles when i close the door. Thats it. About being too economical is that counter does not count milage after 100k, yet counts burned litres, so it calculates wrong. Just reset and you'll be fine.

[@jarradschiff4202]

I saw an XG+ in California last week. It had a manufacturer plate on it, so I assume Paccar was testing something on it for the NA market. It looked REALLY out of place here.

[@kevinmurphy4033]

Very honest review, thanks Stavros

[@i_druth]

Drivers: Potholes, potholes everywhere... Councils: Aye, such a shame. But we've got no funding Also councils: We'll be creating new cycle lanes going from A to B! The joys eh? :D

[@MichaelRickards]

Got a 2017 November registered Scania s500 high cab tag axle with 738,000kms on it and been told by the office that getting new Scania 660s high cab tag axle in July sometime apparently. Im also hitting that lane departure button every single time it goes off whenever it wants I swear. Also I find that the apple car play doesn’t even want to connect sometimes. Plug it in and doesn’t even charge or connect then I turn off the truck for 5-10 minutes then will plug in fine again. 😂 also I find the air con terrible hardly blows cold.

[@stagman4611]

Defo keep the truck As for 19mpg. The v8 I occasionally drive is far better on fuel than the 6pots. Doesn’t struggle to pull the weight

[@JF1J]

I think Stavros will go for a T Evolution 520... the 3 year warranty + the steering wheel column adjustment (his main complain from the Range T) makes it a good candidate. The other one might be the DAF XG or XG+ but the pirce on this last one is a big question mark. About Renault, they might have some feedback about the truck (Renault T prev gen) from the unit they have in the company. If he is considering selling the Scania is because somethings are not going OK. He will not get a top-tier Scania or Volvo with big engine. So, Stavros, sell. Let's see how it goes!

[@vgbeastbomb8327]

It would be awesome to see Stavros driving a Renault T High Evolution or a DAF XG+ on a daily basis for RLT

[@IRLangmaid25]

Or Actros Gigaspace with Mirror as he is 6ft2 he will want the headroom when getting around the cab.

[@weixuancui5615]

Frankly speaking, keep it, the price may will go higher or lower than now. But sell it, maybe not a lot of money to buy another new truck. So the best desicion is keep it for two years or longer. Wait for another chance to get a new truck.

Your comment is, in essence, the definition of the sunk cost fallacy. The only consideration driving his decision should be the opportunity cost of switching to a different vehicle (which, in addition to the sale/purchase prices, would include factors such as comfort, estimated reliability, etc.).

They have Volvo engine and gearbox, so they are pretty reliable. I drove a couple thousand km in a renault and it never let me at the side of the road. Yes It went in the garage a couple of times out of the service but it didn't cost too much to worry about. That happens to every truck.

[@simonellis5303]

Hi Stavros keep the 580 just look at your old 164 you have In reality how much does that owe the company now? And it would still fetch money today what would the other manufacturers equivalent models fetch. And as for Volvo now using turbocompound Scania had that 34 years ago then brought it back 21 years ago for the 124-470. When I worked for the main dealers in the 90’s they went through phases Merc, Daf, MAN but only one manufacturer remained top Scania. So is this the new phase??

[@nesh2003]

Turbo compound was never a good idea, indeed true you gain few more extra horsepower but feeding your engine with exhaust gases is not always good idea...124l 470 had that and wasn't really impressive and many turns it down compared to the 420hp which has xpi injectors in them and develop by Cummins back then...turbo compound need to change good engine oil and most importantly on time....long term usage I wouldn't recommend turbo compound engine. I'm not sure how today's turbo compound engine works but definitely they have improved that compared those days

[@andrewknapton8121]

Scania s 113 400 was their first production turbo compound I believe...

[@arthuralford]

If truck dealers are anything like car dealers, they want you in the showroom. They'll do the hard sell, run you around with financing, and do everything possible to pressure you into a decision *right now*. If you're asking for a price online, they know you're comparing them, and aren't going to be as susceptible to pressure, so there's no incentive to cooperate. Why manufacturers aren't supplying prices is a mystery to me. In the States, the list price has to be available. Should you sell? You'd get a new truck with a two or three year warranty, which would probably save you a bundle in repairs. Also, you'd have a truck that will be lower mileage, and be more up to date. Downside is it'll be more expensive, and you're going to have to wait. But the market for used trucks seems to be very hot, and this would be the time to sell. In the end, it's up to your boss isn't it? Even if they get top money for your truck, they'll have to come up with the difference. If it was up to me, I'd be putting in an order for a DAF XF or Renault T, depending on the best deal I could get
