- Опубліковано 25 жов 2024
- You may have seen my video from about a month ago when i drove the MAN TGL 10.180 the small rigid truck. This was for your small deliveries around town a handy size truck for those awkward delivery locations. Well this time around we are in a completely different articulated truck, the MAN TGX 18.480, this particular truck is ten year's old and has covered over 500,000 miles. With it's straight six cylinder diesel engine delivering 480hp and 2,300 Nm of torque, so lets take it for a test drive and see how it performs.
Thanks for watching UA-cam 'Stavros969'

Packing 480hp and 2,300 Nm of torque how does the MAN TGX 18.480 truck perform on the road?...let's find out😃
Stavros969 I’ve drove the 440hp on 44 ton it pulled well by it’s a very drab interior if it was my money I’d get a Daf XF they have the best beds and are cheap to buy and run
Stravos969 Try Man Tgx Euro6 or euro5
Stavros969 the 480 Euro 5 is surprisingly better than even the Euro 6 480 truck
Stavros969 what is the maximum it could tow
Car Enthusiast It's a tow truck,it's designed to pull,no matter how heavy the load is
"I'm not holding up anyone..." such a sweet guy. Love your personality, mate!
Thanks for the vid Stav , I'm a big fan of these trucks, I'm currently on my 2nd TGX 26,480 having previously had the earlier F series, then the TGA & the ERF ECT derivatives. Also had a few Volvo's & Scanias along the way including a couple of V8 580's. The scania is a good truck but for living in the MAN wins every time, better bunks & seats in the MAN. My boss once asked me if I wanted a new R440 or a 2nd hand TGX480 , I opted for the TGX & have had less trouble with them than the two scanias that also turned up, a few issues with the ad-blu on the first one but compared to failed diff's , 3gearboxes ,an engine rebuild , numerous fuel pump failures & continuous turbo problems on the scanias coupled with the diabolical fuel consumptions it looks like I made the right choice with the MAN ! We also do a fair bit of off road work & have never had any issues with the auto boxes. Is there a downside ? Yes. Unfortunately the franchised MAN dealer backup isn't quite up there with Scania but we use an independent dealer who's great, just a shame he's not nationwide else we'd be well sorted !
Down good old memory lane again for me Stavros 2004-5 I was using the TGX XXL mid lift 480 on night trunks, as well as Mercedes Actros and a good little workhorse DAF 75CF. Thank you once more for a lovely truck video. 2 down 1 more to go for me Mercedes Actros, MAN and DAF XF...
Loves them all Stavros Trucks N cars.
Nice to see a good ol used and road tested truck.
I currently have a 2016 MAN TGX 480 with the 16 speed box. You're right, it's the best manual box on the market. However, MAN have now dropped this 'box as an option, leaving only AS tronic, which I loathe, and I think this is a mistake. The N/S blind spot is horrendous , but a great truck in my eyes, comfortable and well equipped, especially in the XXL guise with leather. A completely new MAN is coming in 2020. Should be interesting.
Finally! My favorite truck! Thank you for the wonderful review. I tried searching for a proper review on this baby in a language that I could understand but to no avail. Thank you really.
it's ugly as fuck and it sucks ass
The_JoKeR I don't mind the looks tbh. Its a decent truck. You don't need a "showroom" truck when running a logistics company.
There the shit truck worse on the market in my view
As usual Stavros, a great and insightful review and fun to watch you do your thing!
Love this truck. Very spacious and comfortable
Thanks for this review
😊👍🏼🚜
Thanks for another enjoyable video; a good start to my Sunday morning. I really like your test route, I don't think I have ever seen so much billiard-smooth tarmac! I am more used to potholes linked with poor quality patches. Keep up the good work.
Hi Stavros. The lever rearward of what you call the one touch lever is what controls the level of seat suspension firmness. I recently drove a new TGS for a few days and it took a while to get it right. When fully soft it felt like it was riding on flubber, which is where you had it set. Made for a few laughs though.
Anyway, another excellent review, thank you.
Cracking vid as usual there Stavros. Always good to watch 👍
Thanks for the vid Stavros. I think the MAN shows its age a bit, but it’s probably earns its owner good money. 10000€ cheaper than the equivalent Scalia in 2008, as you say that’s a lot of diesel. How many repairs and cost of downtime against the Scania though. Usually cheaper to buy means that you will pay in a different way. For me I would rather pay more for a Scania, Volvo or DAF and have less downtime, that way at least you keep customers happy. It would be nice if you could do a back to back comparison on these older trucks to see which has stood the test of time best and perhaps a quick summary of service bills and breakdowns, one against the other. Could be interesting. Take care matey👍🏻👍🏻🚚🚚
Scania and Volvo actually have the highest maintainance cost at our company. I think alot of owners get the "cool" brands because the drivers want them.
@@mornadu Com toda certeza, aqui no Brasil só falam em volvo e scania.
Yes Lamborghini sound was nice....
Anyways, video was awesome as usual.
Keep posting.... Thanks
The slider for the suzies is primarily if you're running a 45ft box. As the box overhangs the front of the front pins. Same reason why the cow catcher is adjustable 😊
Surprisingly i realy enjoy these videos good for you mate.
Sir you are so nice, handsome and experienced person having phenomenal truck driving skills. I really like you sir and I do appreciate your each and every video. You are simply awesome sir Stavros... ❤️❤️
Wonderful review stavros keep Uploading😎😎
I've become a fan of your channel sir. Love your videos. Notification squad!
Superb yet again Stavros
Great job as always mate!
Good review Stavros, the best truck reviewer.
Hey. I love your videos sir. I love that you have variety of trucks. Keep it up
Like you said Stavros969 it is what it is, a working truck not a truck fest Scania, I love Scania but if I was spending my money Id get a MAN or DAF, firstly the fuel saved on purchase price comparing a MAN to a Scania, secondaly Maintenance costs on a Scania or Volvo would be higher then a DAF or MAN. Takes alot my road time for a Scania to earn its keep from purchase day.
great review Stavros
Great truck review as always Stavros
Brilliant informative videos. I have class 2 . I wish my dustcart was a scania!
I was in one of the newer style ones for a few months, it went well enough, even when heavy but your right about that mirror housing, its shocking!! But worst of all was the automatic gearbox!!!! Great stuff as per!
Great video, keep up the reviews on the older truck models its really interesting to compare. Always prefer a manual and the zf is one of the nicest.:)
Hi Stavros .Superb video.
Pure beast of a tractor unit 💪. Nice one Stavros! 👍
Cheer's Tristan Doran
Really enjoying the truck reviews! Keep them coming 🤠👍👍
A great job Stavros keep it up
I loved the comfort shift on the man! but it was a different slower game on an erf with a cummins nailed in. love your vids!!!
Stavros you're the best🔥
More truck please, i love your review about trucks. Please do more also no test drive is fine, im just curious how trucks in europe looks like inside/out and the features.
Stavros, keep in rollin
That comfort switch would freak me out, I wouldn't like changing without using the clutch. I guess you'd get used to it though.
Meanwhile the majority of truck drivers in the US float the gears every day and only use the clutch to start and stop without having a comfort switch.
@@ram89572 US trucks still don't have synchronized manuals though. You can float gears just as well (better in some cases) in a synchronized box but you'll destroy the syncros given enough time if you do. Syncros don't really wear unless you put force on them and if you shift without using the clutch that's exactly what you're doing. I still find it kind of pointless though since you lose control over how the clutch is released between shifts so it could end up being a bit jerky, it's not like the button rev matches up and downshifts perfectly every single time. If your ergonomics aren't done terribly pressing the clutch takes 0 effort and causes no discomfort anyway. Just sounds like an excuse to use an ECA to fix bad ergonomics lol. Only vehicle I've driven where pressing the clutch was annoying to me was a Ford Focus. Terrible pedalbox all round (couldn't heel toe at all because the throttle pedal was a mile deeper in the pedalbox than everything else and the brakes were so overboosted they felt worse than air brakes) and no matter what you did, you could not get yourself in a position where your knee wouldn't be weirdly strained when you pressed the clutch in. Probably other vehicles out there with similar problems but still doesn't excuse the lack of time spent on driver ergonomics.
Also I'm pretty sure MAN were completely fine with you using the switch for every shift after getting going, dunno if there was some box/model specific limitations to that or something related to engine output that would put too much of a beating on the box if you used that in low range. It's still a step up from floating gears though since you don't have to be perfect with it, the syncros still work when you use the clutch button instead of the clutch pedal.
Love your channel ❤️ a lot of cool truck . keep it up mate
great video....love the reviews subbed! 😁
Great video, im not a fan of MAN trucks, but these videos are really entertaining!
I always called these trucks "Man", not "M A N" lol ... awesome review!
These trucks are really functional. It's not going to win any awards but it's so much more cheaper than the equivalent volvo or scania. I wouldn't want to sleep in this truck for weeks in this maybe a few days would be acceptable 😂
After this review I'd think that the MAN TGX 18 is okay except for the left mirror design flaw which I feel concerned about. And I like the simple dashboard, although it may be limiting in some way.
As Always best video buddy. I truly loved it. However, the truck was too dirty and messed up from the inside. Lol
Superb video sir
Cheer's Steve Ronald thanks
M-A-N, I always say man though! :D
Nice xplaination thank alot. I wish you may please explain too when you drive it. 💪🏾 Me from 🇿🇦
In Indonesia, MAN TGS 480 HP usually pulls trailers with loads of over 70 tons even 100 tons though
great review as always! I hope MAN has fixed that Mirror thing in the Euro 6, they have done some little face-lift and improvement, i hope also the Mirror, cos that is a no go.
Am not a big fan of MAN trucks but they are actually pretty good.
boss u are good instructor
I like your video that you make big fan
You make very good video's :)
Thanks Huub Van Baar
yeah the blind spot is terrible, i had to look around it a lot while driving
I have noticed that every couple years when European trucks get "facelifts", the headlights get progressively larger and larger, while the rest of the truck remains the same. Soon enough the entire front fascia will be one big headlight lol.
Awesome trucks
Be great to see you do a review of an old Foden or Ford Transcontinental, cool channel
Stavros can u pls do a MAN tgx 6×6 truck
@stavros I'm so curious to know are you working for Rory lynch or do you have some sort of involvement in running the company as you have a lot of videos with their fleet😬😬
I Was Just Going To Ask You that can You Make Vedio On MAN n You Did It
Are you going to the car show in Dundalk today
would be cool if you can get your hands on a new tgx euro 6 with a d38 engine :)
Wow I wish to meet with this man plz
Am from Nairobi Kenya 🇰🇪
Thanks for the nice detailed explaination .could you tell me when to use the split in gears and when to use the next gear or change to the high range?
I am just confused with the order of gears in trucks unlike passenger cars, we have 1-2-3-4-5 and sometimes 6 and you chabge one by one and we don't skip gears but I think it is difference here. Excuse me for making it too long question
Thanks in advance 😊
Think of this one as two 4 speed shift patterns. 1-4, back into the 1st position for 5th, and all the way through to 8th, but the kicker is that all of these gears can split low and high. So if you were heavy you could start out in 1L, 1H, 2L, 2H, 3L, 3H, etc.
That blind spot might be the result of trying to aerodynamic. A more slanted windscreen to reduce drag and the close signal price mirror for the same reasons.
Have you tried turning it off and on again? Sorry Stavros I couldn’t resist it, you do sound very similar...
Am driving MAN TGS 40.440 and it is the best compared to sacania and volvo.cos here now one can beat MAN in terms of power.Here every 2nd truck on road is MAN.Even few logistics companies own more than 2000 MAN without having anyother brand between them.MAN IS BEST FOR OMAN!
Can you do some more trailer reviews? Thanks! Like your channel
Yes i can hear it so loudly huracan :D
2008 Man and rocking autmatic air conditioner + only 4 inch floor bumper. Yep the germans did a pretty good job back then, you look at the 2008 Iveco Stralis compared to this and it makes throw up...
Hey stavros im driving man tgx 480 here in philippines i hate the exhaust brake of that truck theres one time in down hill mountain the exhaust brake not working and is not Good when you go downhill and i carry 15 tons of load and the chair is iritating to me keeps me bouncing and the wide angle mirror is bad.
Nice video! Could you also try to get a MAN TGX euro6 for a test drive? thanks.
If this valve block is there.... Will it snow on the dashboard....
I have 2008 MAN TGL 7.150..
D0834 engine ZF gearbox ...
When I'm in first gear it shows 3rd on the dashboard...
When I'm in 3rd gear it shows 6th gear on the dashboard....
Can anyone help
My dad drives a MAN tgs with 470 hp, he transports milk from the farmer to the factory
What a nice truck! Remeber to take your seasickness pills before taking a ride in that seat! If you ever get the chance to try out a SISU truck, that would be great! But I don't know if they even are available around there.
well it aint a particularly great truck but if u r just starting up its a good entry level unit which does the job for the first 3 to 5 years until u r then able to afford the scania or Volvos or Mercedes trucks
More MAN pleas
I thought you were going to do a video in the scania s620
You mean S650
Nice truck how mach this plz tell me if ned 1
Thank God I own a scania
i guess it's an old and use model of man tgx?
Can y'all not float gears in Europe? In our trucks over here (usa) the only time we use the clutch is to stop and go and reverse.
nope, gearboxes are all syncronized these days,, unless they are automatics , 20 years ago you could still get ex. MAN truck with fuller boxes.
Eh eh good old fuller
Save costs??? Just practical
Hi ur my favourite you tuber please reply
Thanks Truth or dare Wright
I am in Rwanda I 14years old can you make a video a bout a Tata prime
Can you do a test drive with Scania S730?
I'd love to Victor Ojala if i can get one..
What's RLT Newest Truck?
Man trucks the best sales tool for Scania and Volvo dealers lol absolutely horrendous bloody things stav!
It goes to show that the people that design most of theses trucks probably have never driven one
well, its not the greatest truck, but cant imagine its very expensive.
aye Rory Lynch That my name Rory not the last name though
The wurst a man can Get
Stravos969 Try a Man Tgx euro 6 or euro5
Hey check it out! its my first truck from Euro Truck Simulator 2!
I've driven many off these on agency and they are by FAR the most problematic truck. They are the ONLY truck in my 10 years temp driving, which have caused me issues. They have a common ignition problem, where a little cable comes lose or wears out, causing no ignition! Happened to me, 3 times, 3 separate trucks, years apart! Steering wheel is too big. The LACK OF CUP HOLDERS is an absolute travesty! 21st century, £100k vehicles, put a decent cup holder to hold my energy drink ffs!
Overall quality of the average MAN truck I come across is terrible.
I like you
This Truck is quite dirty :(
the driver of this truck is not that clean i see
Dojo THEBEAST that interior was a mess
I am uuuu UT 55. Lkoo
