Why would you want your ECU exposed inside the wheel well?! Crazy placement

Hey Stavros it was the height of your 5th wheel that prob set off the tunnel warning. It had the front of the trailer a bit higher than it should be. I had same issue before with a certain truck and trailer I was driving at the time.

Thank you, Stavros.

The new MAN sure looks good. In the 2000s I used to drive a tga 480 with zf comfortshift I liked it but it had some cabin quality issues doorhinges, side windows falling down etc.

Morning!

Man tgx most beautiful truck on planet

now thats what i like, a no nonsense tour, and test drive you tell it as it is, if you need more power, or less ,good luck stay safe

Love your truck rivew videos. Bring more videos like this.

Another great video there Stavros. And condolences to you on your dad passing away. Seems to have done a lot in the trucking business during his time here to be remembered by. More good memories than sorrowful ones

Those buttons on the drivers door is a nice little handy feature, especially the catwalk light button!

Wow, really cool features on this truck! I especially like that self-greasing 5th wheel. Great video, Stavros!

sound nice and its quiet to when your on the road to its not bumpy

Fantastic review Stav! Looks like a dream to drive.

I really enjoy your posts. Im impressed on the features,such as the electric windshield curtain. The euro manufacturers think of just about everything. Thanks.

Great Job Stavros, I truly enjoy all your videos!

Man as an American Trucker and cabover lover, I always look forward to your videos. Hope to visit there one day and meet you

My role model as a truck enthusiast, Stavros 😎

Great video thanks

I'm driving exactly this one too with same colour

Excellent as per ....How's the s580 doing.....got shut of mine 4 a new s660 ...what a machine

the new Man trucks drive really nice, only down side to me are the buttons on the wheel make it easy to accidentaly hit a button while going around a corner.

Finally a serious Truck ❤

Great Video Stav 😊

I found with the 2021 actros automatic to hsve a very slow gear change when at roundabouts or any other junction would get you un bother if you were not use to driving it

Great review. It’s my choice at work over the DAF’s and Merc’s when possible. The multi media unit with its big button dial is just such a intuitive bit of kit too.

Nice machine

Great video. One of my favourite trucks. The door lock does look like it could be improved. Glad you had so few complaints. Sorry to read about your dad in the comments here. None of my business, but I guess you are the owner/joint owner of the company now? Best wishes.

Hi stavros could you try and do another fire engine like the old volvo at Shannon Station or a bin lorry

I drove MAN it was very cool. from SOY kenya

The way you said ireland was so clean .

The ECU on the man is to near the front will if there is a blowout 7:

Nice video Stavros. MAN are getting there, some nice improvements most were simple fixes. When are you booking your flight to Florida. Just as many trucks down here as New York.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇺🇸

The gearbox on the new generation is decent enough. Still not great, but a vast improvement over last generation. I'm driving the last 2020 model and you have to use the air brake like a clutch when loaded or you can forget it when pulling off.

I drive 23 plate scania 560s omg stavros how good is it to drive scania are way ahead of rest truckwise its awwsome

I see you in this truck or 640 model in the future (of course highly speced piece), GX cab etc.

So good to see your videos again!!!

The D26 sounds good.

You doing a great job bro. Big up, Give me Man TGS 26.510

In Australia, MAN have a real issue with spare parts supply. Great trucks to drive, but if broken down will it get fixed? I know of a major contract that constantly has trucks sitting in workshops unable to repair.

Huge improvement, now it looks and feels like a decent truck.. it can definitely compete with Volvo

Felt like it needed more power, but it’s geared towards saving fuel

Does the dab radio still receive stations , now & then randomly?

Does it still take hissy fits & refuse to engage a gear ?

The digital dash always reverting to kph and kpg ect every time I turn it off is annoying, won't stay in mph or mpg and I have to go into the menu to change it every time I start it is a pain in the ass

I’m driving the 510 72 plate,it just keeps pulling!

con il 510 e il successivo 520 il man si può considerare tra i grandi, ma va rilevato una criticità deve essere possibile staccare il reader automatico quando si azione il pedale del freno, come d'altronde era possibile con il 480 prima e il 500 dopo....

Thanks for that stavros! Stavros, wots this Irish hand wave called the tang hand 👋, where on earth did that come from, hope its not a wave thats supposed to offend the Irish, if so im sorry, but i see afew UK truckers do it, but never understood it, i have googled it but still not got a clue, love ur vlogs

Was just wondering why the pipes behind the cab are called suzies?

@raywelshman

8 ай бұрын

The correct spelling is Susie Coil, rather than Suzi Coil, the term is essentially an acronym for SUSpended Insulated Electrical lead

Biggest problem with them is the air tank capacity and pressure. Also folding side flap brackets are terrible design, top ones keep snapping. Gearbox is a bit slow to select gears.

Ope u gettin on well fella again sorry for ur your loss. Ope u won’t be in the office lol.

Think the 18t is the axle load for the single axle, with the extra tags it's 26t

3:17 Having an ECU there seems like a bad idea. Because, that zone catches a lot of debris. Being that MAN is part of the VolksWagen group, as well as Scania, I doubt it will be as reliable as in the past. Therefore, I would not buy a MAN or Scania product. A perfect example of this is the number of issues you are having with your Scania.

I got to say the man yrucknis up there with the Volvo and scania, the gx is a cracking truck , and to be fair I do think it's better than a scania Stavros part ex your scania fir a gx

Hi Stavros matey 👍 it's mark from Wirral Merseyside i like the MAN trucks with the big cab's with taglift axe's and modify up ready for truck shows. But the MAN trucks are sister truck to the Scania trucks.

The exterior of the "MAN TGX" looks really good but the interior looks really budget. Like why did they decide to make it all look so cheap? You compare this to a same spec scania or volvo and there way more premium and comfortable. Even the bottom of the range versions are nice than these.

The gearbox was the worst on the older generation MAN, a good lorry beside the gearbox

MAN are one of those well known names that seem to be overlooked. I knew a driver who had an 80's MAN that had a terrible turning circle. Looks like they've rectified that. Nice truck. Mercedes or MAN??? I think they're German built? Germany have never had a false economy. That alone is something you can trust

Yes, they are German built. MAN is part of the VW concern and they used to be competing against trucks like Renault, Iveco and DAF. With the addition of the TGX series they've taken the fight to Mercedes, Volvo and Scania.

The dash looks like that of a cheap car...sad to see MAN nowadays, back in the '90s they made things inside look good but now the exterior seems to matter more.

Same shite mirrors which block 70% of your forward vision at junctions & roundabout's

I think the MAN and Renult are just cheap. Every little "thing" is just cheap and seem to be an afterthought. These truck companies need to hire real, long term drivers to help design the trucks and stop making the drivers "get used to" the way they design it. Thats backwards. We are supposed to tell them what we want and what goes where, not vice versa. p.s. CHEERS to celebrating Rory. Absolute LEGEND and you boys will do ok because he laid down a great trail to follow..

Could one of theses be Stavros new truck in the future !!😊

what kind of a name is that!
