Dump truck Mercedes-Benz Arocs

I’ve driven the Arocs for a little over a year now, mainly for some heavy construction hauls. Suspension is stiff, no surprise there - but it does handle bad roads better than I expected. Cab layout works out fine once you’re used to the rocker switches everywhere. The mirrors could be a bit bigger, pretty sure I’m not the only one grumbling about that. Maintenance isn’t cheap - this is Mercedes, after all. But you get less downtime, so that helps. Comfort isn’t bad, seat does its job even on longer days.

This truck's off-road capabilities are solid. The 8x8 drive setup means no terrain intimidates it. The turbo retarder clutch is pretty innovative-braking feels smoother than you'd expect. But honestly, for regular urban deliveries, I'd say it's overkill. Maintenance with all that tech might be a bit pricey too. The seats offer great comfort, though. I've had worse.

I used a MAN TGA on a long-haul route, and overall, the cab's layout felt quite practical and ergonomic. The engine performance met expectations, providing a solid and steady delivery. However, during uphill climbs, the transmission transitions weren't the smoothest. Not deal-breaking, but noticeable. Maintenance access to engine components is straightforward, which saves time during routine checks.

Had the opportunity to operate the Arocs recently for about a week. It handles rugged terrain exceptionally well - stability is top-notch even on uneven loads. The interior ergonomics added to a comfortable shift. However, some of the controls were less intuitive and took a moment to figure out. Reliability? No downtime faced during my operation. Overall, while not perfect, it is indeed a dependable unit for demanding tasks.

I spent a week driving the FM 420, mostly highway, some city and a few bad roads in between. First impressions - the air suspension seat is a blessing, you can mess with the lumbar and height, made my back hurt less by the end of the day. I liked the visibility, lower cab height actually helps, mirrors cover most blind spots but there's always that one angle missing. AC and heating are solid, though didn't get to try heating much here. Music system is there but speaker placement isn't the best. Door handles are oddly placed, keep reaching for the wrong spot. Climbing in and out is easy, steps are wide and grip well even in the rain. Rear bunk is decently spacious - not exactly hotel room but good enough to stretch out for a nap. As for service and parts, didn’t run into issues yet but Volvo has a decent network, at least in bigger cities. Wasn’t blown away by some of the plastics and small details, but nothing that ruins the experience. JK tyres seem reliable so far. Would love it if price was less but it's not shocking for this segment.

I've been running a G480 6x6 for a year and a bit, mostly hauling heavy timber. The first thing you notice is climbing up into that cab, three steps and you gotta grab the bar, it's set up high. Interior's good, not fancy but you get what matters, two seats and the bunk's decent for occasional naps-not super wide, but better than some I've used. The heated air-ride seat is probably my favorite thing, stops your back from killing you on bad roads. Controls are right there, nothing you can't reach, and the mirrors staying clear is a plus in winter. Power’s solid, never feels sluggish when loaded, but man it drinks fuel if you're pushing it, I see over 35L/100km easy. Haven't had any breakdowns so far-Scania seems to hold up. Not the cheapest truck to buy or run though, that's for sure. Not sure about the tech bits, but nothing has been a pain yet.

Had my hands on a TGS for a year now, mostly doing building site runs and fuelling equipment. It's not a luxury setup, but it's practical. Handles rough sites pretty well, thanks to the consistent handling-even loaded on uneven ground, feels steady. The electronics seem decent, not overkill, but the lane assist can be a bit sensitive for my taste. Biggest plus for me is storage, with handy spots over the windscreen and under the bunk, but I wish the cool box/fridge was standard, not optional. Had a recall a few years back but dealer sorted it quick, no drama. All in all, does what it says, doesn't surprise you.

Driving the Scania P-series has been mostly a positive experience. Its safety features, particularly in built-up areas, inspire confidence. The available configurations cater well to varied tasks, and the maintenance package is a valuable inclusion. Still, occasional maneuvering in tight spots could benefit from more refined control mechanisms.

Driving the Scania G480 was a decent experience. The features like air-conditioned cabins and heated seats on pneumatic suspension are lifesavers in long tasks. While the power is evident with the 480 hp engine, the 12-speed manual gearbox requires familiarization over time. The spinning speed limit caps at 85 km/h-okay for heavy-duty but might feel slow on open roads. Sturdy build quality and reliable engine performance make it a dependable truck for specific needs.

The Volvo FM's safety features definitely stand out. The truck's design prioritizes vision for drivers, a big deal in crowded urban areas. I noticed the active safety systems provide great assistance during tight maneuvers. However, while the technology is impressive, it might feel a bit much for drivers who prefer a more straightforward setup. Still, it's hard to argue with its solid Euro NCAP rating.
