EPIC American Truck Battle ▶ Peterbilt vs. Kenworth vs. Volvo vs. MACK

[@progressivelibertarianview8832]

I've driven a Peter built in training school, an international and Volvo as a company driver and purchased a freightliner as an owner operator. Those Volvo's are the best...

[@francescocassani2971]

I work for an Italian truck company, well American trucks are the most fascinating for us here, but unfortunately we have smaller streets and reduced spaces. But those amazing American trucks can be found in fairs and exhibitions. The most common European brands used in Italy are Scania, Volvo, Iveco and Daf. Thanks for the beautiful video.

[@TheMichaelvwilson]

Kenworth and Volvo. Only ones that don't feel like a wooden roller coaster to me.

[@Dingbobber]

You’re crazy bro. Mack’s are creamy smooth and KW’s feel like a steel pogo stick

[@angrysocialjusticewarrior]

@@Dingbobber creamy smooth? Buddy, have you actually driven a Mack? Have you driven a mack and then driven a vnl 860 or T680? Mack is made for young boys with strong backs. Volvo is for people who don't like being thrown around in their seat while driving. If these trucks were homes, Peterbilt would be like a fancy mansion worthy of a prince, Volvo would be like a futuristic apartment worthy to house Elon Musk, and Mack would be a military base.

Volvo, currently, is literally the only European truck brand that also sells American trucks. I can't believe Volvo decided to do that. Not only they make cars, but also traditional cabovers and long nose trucks for North America, even though its a Swedish vehicle brand.

They would have been foolish if they had not invested in the USA, as the companies that manufacture trucks in the USA have not significantly improved their products in the last 50 years. It's like comparing poop to chocolate ice cream. Volvo is by far much better at everything. It's embarrassing that people still buy the crap that the USA offers its customers.

Only downside with volvo/mack is that injectors cups will fail after 500k mi and wiring is wack. Never hear complaints otherwise.

I’m a tech and can confirm the wacky wiring. Apart from that Volvo/Mack don’t have many major problems and seeing trucks with over 2 million KM’s is VERY common. Also they design a lot of their systems with serviceability in mind to make life easy for us. Volvos are the easiest trucks to work on hands down.

The hood on an American truck doesn't really help aerodynamics, close coupling trailers, single drive axle and side crash barriers on trailers in europe drastically help fuel economy. 90kph is the speed limit but max varies with each country (46 tonnes in ireland), average HP is around 500, but top range volvo or scania is 770 bhp. you'll never see a jake brake either, there be a retarder on the back of the gearbox that will control you speed on hills without touching the brakes. tyres size will be different too, 315/80R22 if i remember correctly

Biggest reason, there’s 90km/h (55mp/h) speed limit for trucks in entire EU. Also, king pin offset is over a foot bigger then in US, that closes gap between tractor and trailer, shorter trailers with smaller gross weight in most cases. 3 axle trailers, which will have less bounce on suspension and rubber itself, make far smaller rolling resistance, overwhelming majority of super singles use, and other air dynamic mods..

what about freghtliner ?

[@TruckTropia]

Complete review with freightliner, western stat and Internotinal is coming 👍

[@michaeltb1358]

Only the Volvo even mentions safety as part of their design. Others are all style with same old tech underneath.

[@adityasanthanam1945]

I prefer the Peterbilt 389 and Kenworth W900 series trucks. I also like the old Diamond REO trucks.

[@XxpostyxX]

I wish they kept the design of the freightliner classic xl and renovated it instead of moving to Columbia and Cascadia

[@Jokeman718]

Volvo with X15 and 13 speed for me

[@Cubalsero]

Truck Tropia forgot to include the most sold truck in the universe for a reason!!....CASCADIA!!

[@anesue7874]

just here doing my eurotruck simulator research

[@wmgthilgen]

With the exception of what video gamer's refer to as "Skin's". What's the difference between any of the newer trucks today, other than the visualness of the cab. Frame's, motor's, drive trains, brakes, etc. are all interchangable today. One can purchase any of the compents, and after after assembling them. Attach any Cab to it. One can litterally pull a Kenworth off it's frame and place it on one that use to be a Peterbuilt and visa versa. So, with the excetion of graphic, there's no real difference.

Comparing Volvo is like comparing a laptop to a typewriter...

[@Carolinastrucks]

One thousandth like :)

[@TruckTropia]

[@arky5610]

[@Wqghfxz]

Volvo is like Cadillac

[@hendic]

That’s a vague statement

[@Wqghfxz]

@@hendic Do volvo trucks not ride smoothly like Cadillacs?

[@KLNYC]

how come no torque specs? Dont need a crazy amount of HP, but rather more TQ.

[@claudiaberger9639]

I just watched 4 promotional videos. As a layman, I am missing the two most important components in this presentation. Price and error rate.

[@TruckTropia]

I would never be able to answer that

[@itsallovernow2929]

Kenworth and Peterbilt are the same company as are Volvo and Mack. It's like comparing WesternStar to Freightliner, same company.

[@TruckTropia]

Well different trucks. Vw, Skoda, Seat, Audi is Also same Company but different cars

[@LizardMane]

I didn't even know that

[@philmarwood69]

Freightliner and Western Star are owned by Mercedes Benz Trucks, Mercedes also own Detroit engines so really they're Mercedes Engines now.

Paccar has the better trucks in this line up. Better resale value. More reliable. Better looking. I will say the Pete 579 has their switched in the wrong place and why would I want to reach over and try to figure out the buttons. With Paccar the Mx13 is still a piece of work. Even after 11 years. Cummins x15 you can reach 10mpg plus on. All depends on your setup and driving and such. With Volvo Mack. I’m a big fan of the first generation VNL. You could get a 3406 or 60 series. The second and 3rd Gen had a lot of issues with electrical work. Volvo is a fleet truck. That’s all it will be. And Mack isn’t what it use to be. It’s a Volvo at heart.

[@TruckTropia]

Thanks for the detailed and informative reply

[@snipemagazine1286]

Paccar trucks always break down. Atleast once a week.

[@amolaksandha3732]

Volvo vnl 860 great truck

[@nãomedigafrivolidade]

the best is what you can buy and keep
