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.
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...
Kenworth and Volvo. Only ones that don't feel like a wooden roller coaster to me.
You’re crazy bro. Mack’s are creamy smooth and KW’s feel like a steel pogo stick
@@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.
KW is best .peterbilt is like log wagon and the rest are like a Volkswagen.
@@angrysocialjusticewarrior😅
Sorry boys, Volvo has all beat. I've driven an 2020 International LT, Freightliner Cascadia (2017 and 2021), and a 2019 Peterbilt 579.. hand to god the Volvo VNL 760 or 860 is my top pick for longhaul and regional trucking (drove a 19, 20, and 22). Not going to go crazy and list the reasons why, but the VNL just functions better in day to day trucking.
I drive a Volvo FH700 , and it beats others in every respect , the only truck that is its equal is the Scania S580
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.
@@the902giant I'm curious how long does it take to get the parts for Volvo's engines?
@@M4CZ1LL4 the dealership I work at keeps a fair bit on hand but in general you’re looking at a 2-4 day wait for parts no matter what it is.
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.
I thought they were Chinese brand now by geely
@@Yondaily yeah true they are Chinese
@@Yondaily geely bought the passenger car brand . Trucks and heavy equipment are separate companies all together
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.
@@sirstormystefan, if that's the case, what if they get trucks in Sweden like Volvo? Well, the traditional European cabover that is. Sweden have more than one truck brand. Another is Scania.
The KW Is my favorite but I've drove them all and the mack transmission is by far my favorite. Most automotive feeling
Thanks for sharing 🚚👍
Wish my apartment looked as nice as these trucks. Inside and out
hahah true ;)
Could get a sleeper cab starting at 300k, i think you dont need a cdl if you get a decal saying "not for hire" just an air brake endorsement, not sure though.
With 400sqft condos going for over a mil and all the "van life" trend it might be worth it.. 😂
@@maxnovakovics2568 airbrakes and just don't hook up the trailer lol
The Macks are tough, they have proven themselves in the Australian outbacks.
It’s a different set up !
@@abrahampshat8095 Macs are part of the Volvo group, Trucks come with engines made by Volvo and also engines made by Cummins.
Tough is not always a good thing. A truck that is too tough is usually too rough to ride compared to softer trucks.
@@angrysocialjusticewarrior It's not the ride that matters most, it's how the engine performs in hot and cold regions
@@MySpace662 I doubt SJW works.
Just waiting for another handout.
Love my 2020 Mack Anthem.
:)
You mean volvo
The kenworth and peterbuilt at this point are the same truck with different interiors but not that different, its basically Gmc/chevy of the big trucks
Funny you say that I always considered paccar the GM of the semi truck world
Exactly 😅
My trucker has a Kenworth that hauls his toy hauler…..had it modified and it looks great and does the job very well.
I love the VNL 860 for the space and comfort.
And safety
Heh, that Mack Anthem goes over the Gatton overpass (Queensland, Australia) at approx. 14:24. A bunch of Macks and Volvos are assembled in Wacol (Queensland).
They are crap in the states maybe we got the cheap ones
I'm still running a Fleet of 38 1986 Pete 359's, with Spicer 6x4 Transmissions. FULLY Mechanical Cat 3406B and Zero Computer Sensors.
Wow impressive!, isn't it expensive to keep such a relatively old fleet running? and thanks for sharing
@@TruckTropia Not really that expensive. The cost of buying a new truck every 5 years over 35 years, that 7 truck replacements. Or Conservative cost @ $120,000 per truck. That's $840,000. I might have 350K to 400K in each truck.
gotta say thats impressive and cool,
as the tire guy who has to retorq 100 bud nuts and studs in a 10mount i hate this :P
And 5.0 mpg
Believe me
He scratches his head every time he gets up to fuel station 😀
@@ZeeZee89 Nope, not at all
Gee that brand new peterbilt dash looks the exact same as my old truck from-10 years ago. Way to upgrade as the years go by
Cascadia is a gorgeous truck, but freighliner NEEDS to improve quality. They can be better than peterbilt and KW, but they have to do something about their quality. Design is gorgeous, the truck is actually very reliable, but the plastics fall apart. If it felt like VOVLO VNL inside, it would have been a perfect truck. Freigtliner, please do something about the quality of your interior so it does not feel so cheaply made. Please. Thank you.
Freightliner Cascadia is more safer than Kenworth, because it has Detroit assurance 5.0
Haha, Mack, Volvo, and Pete all rattle inside after 10-15k continuous use. The Cascadia does not
I like my 2014 KW t660 with ix3 Cummings. Speched a 13 spd standard trans.
We just got in some 2023 Volvo VNL670s. I have a 2017 Peterbilt 579. What I take in 8th gear (I do have the crappy ultrashit transmission) the new Volvo's are doing in EE 11 gear (same weight). I got with a buddy and mini convoy 300 miles...we were dead even going up the hills, He had 10k in the box I had empty reefer. That Ishift is a REALLY good transmission
thanks for sharing :)
If I don’t mistake it’s double clutch.
The problem with new modern trucks nowadays are faulty sensors... each time they fail will give you big downtime. That's why some truckers stay away with new tech installed on new trucks.
Doesn't get any better than the I-Shift
I've yet to meet a driver here in Ireland that doesn't think IShift is by far the best auto trans on the market.
The Peterbilt had me at the redesigned cup holders!
That Mack Anthem is just a Go to Truck, it's classy and simple. Too many buttons just isn't my favorite for a faster workflow.
Spent ten days in Missouri awhile back and I can safely say the majority of trucks I saw were either PB or KWs and of those PB was the most popular. Although I don’t truck my family were mostly truckers back in the day way before Volvo came into being. I biased of course due to my family history. But if I were trucking I would look at operating costs and dependability when buying a tractor.
So basically, before Kenworth and Peterbilt came into being too and, considering Mack started producing trucks only two years before Volvo,
probably before any of these companys did.
@@katrinapaton5283 huh
Me desplomo con ver estas bellezas rodantes Dios les bendiga mucho mas
Me at 2 AM learning about trucks because I got into American Truck Simulator 😄 because it was on sale for $5 .

M’y favorite truck is Volvo, in second Peterbilt 579, third KW… so far Volvo is the best truck I’ve ever driven
Before I became a Professional Truck Driver I had a vacation in England and they have better options than we do in the States. My grandfather drove for Grace and wouldn't give up his cab over. When I went to Chatham I got to understand why! Power maneuvering it all works just find especially since the longest he was ever out was two days.
it comes down to the job here in the UK more than 2 nights out is somewhat rare I've only known a handful of drivers doing UK work who will be out more than 2 nights and there usually doing something out of the ordinary
for example one dude I knew his route was picking up in the midlands and doing all the London deliveries with how much of a mess that could be he would drive a rigid flatbed truck with a secondary tow trailer hed get loaded up to maximum capacity head down into London drop the tow trailer at a service station and would go into London do the deliveries re-supply off the trailer and head back in hed maximise the time spent down in London delivering to save on the fuel costs of running back up and down also with how bad london traffic can be anouther driver could make 3 or 4 deliveries to other places in the time it took for him to get to and from 1 london job sometimes so time saved not having to truck back and fourth was worth it
sometimes they'd even send trucks to meet him at the services to resupply him
but hed be gone at most 7 days if he came back during the week hed prefer loading and heading back over getting a night at home because its be less driving the next morning
anything longer than 7 days though would be rough especially considering those 7 days are only just barable because we have some semi decent truck stops that have a few of the creature comforts so you can get out the cab for a few hours without that wed probably go nuts
@@Sarge92 As a retired UK trucker living In Wales I used to be out five or six days a week every week for years, and I loved It. Shore do miss It, even driving on the worlds biggest car park the M25.
Yeah I’ll just stick to my long hood 379 Pete still looks good to this day and will out pull any of these
Bro, it's about what you are left with in your pocket at the end of the day and not out pulling someone up a hill..good luck with your 6mpg instead of the 9 mpg.
@@soul_reaper9935 100 % agree. I would choose Volvo among all indicated here. But I have to say Pete 379 and Kw 900 really nice beautiful trucks. With lower maintenance cost and better mpg I would go with 379.
@@kr9181 379 are way cheaper to maintain since they're no DEF or automated trans BS
379 all the way
And you’ll pay double in fuel 😂
That black MACK really appeals to Goth truckers like me! I LIKE!!! 🤘
Good truck work 👍👍👍👍👍
Sad that there’s no mention of Freightleiner and Western Star! But great comparison anyway!
I’ve noticed he always skips the cascadia for some reason
@@junior8403 because it beats the crap out of all the junks this video is about..🤣🤣🤣
I been driving since 1958 and I seen trucks come and go! Kenworth and Peterbilt is the trucks to go with!
J'aime beaucoup ces modèles
Damm that’s one nice Pete truck ❤️
Para mi la mejor máquina en estos tiempos es la que da mejor rendimiento y las partes las pueda alcanzar en cualquier venta de repuestos, alternativas u originales, el resto es solo gusto, es mi humilde opinión.
SALUDOS DESDE SUDAMERICA CHILE 🇨🇱 DON ELÍAS EL CAMIONERO 🇨🇱
As user of Scania 4, Volvo fh12, daf 105 and Man tga I can say Volvo is the Best of them. Scania was nice but there were many small problems with it. Man tga its not even worth mention about. Daf Just good after 2009(before sleeves was crappy and it led to Oil consumption) engine was good in both ways fuel economy and power - its cheap to buy and expensive to make it run. Volvo - 2002 year d12d engine over 1,4 milion kilometers.. Runs like dream for 4 years I didnt have any problem with that. I wish to try Mercedes but right now i am far from transport, who knows what future can bring
Volvo is a throw away truck you throw it away right from the beginning.
those trucks are awesome
Thank God I will buy some for myself
The Mack is beautiful. But im a Volvo fan... As always, great video
Same thing. Volvo owns Mack trucks. Have nice day Dude.
Volvo Gang Baby! 💪🏾
I played with a valva😂,,almost like a Volvo 😂 minus the for play😂😂😂
What’s cool about Volvo is the dashboard it faces the driver which is not seen in like any car I own a 2007 v70 wagon and my friends always point it out. 😂
They just aren't observant. The v70 does it to a higher degree but almost every
Cars radio is slightly towards the driver. If u sit in the driver seat then sit in the front passenger on almost any car u will be able to tell.
The best amazing
Nothing beats a 379 the quality and the ride, driving a 2021 t680 now and i would never trade my 2000 379 for it never!!!
All 7 American truck companies has European technology, which is interesting. All are focusing on low fuel cost and more hi-efficiency.
true :)
That's because the US hasn't invented anything since the 50s when it comes to trucks. The US is at least 30 years behind Europe. Comparing Volvo to Peterbilt is like comparing a laptop to a typewriter...
The Mack Anthem is the sharpest one i would buy !!! 🤣🤣🤣
😅
Mack is my middle name lol love this truck
@@KhaosEntertainment haha :)
My favorite American Truck is the 1970s KW W900A Cummins NTC400 Big Cam 13 speed fuller flat top sleeper. Front Wheels set all the way foward.
Large car's are the same as human's. Though we all look different on the outside, our mechanic's are all the same. Strip away the body of any manufactured truck, and you have the basic's of all of them. Basically with everything being interchangable. The only difference between any Large Car is only the outer shell. One can basically take any trucking companies logo off one truck and place it on another. It's only the graphic's that make it appear they are different. In the gaming world, it's called skins.
My 2016 dd15 freightliner sits in 1350000 miles and still running ok.
I'm definitely a freightliner and other breeds
along with design & confort their reluctant are also differ which make huge consumption😏😏😏🤗🤗
MDrive vs Ishift.....If it goes left off the conveyor belt its painted red and called Mdrive....If it goes right, It's painted Aqua and called Ishift.
Volvo OWNS Mack. Paccor trucks are Volvo Wanna Bes’.
@@henryblanton6992 who tf wanna be like volvo?
They use the same struture to be based-on but both Volvo's I-Shift and MACK's M-Drive are geared and programed different to set them appart from each other.

2019 kenworth t680 cummins 300k so far and only needed a oil thermostat lol
I don’t know anything about semi truck, but I viewed I like Volvo. Thanks for upload!
thanks :)
Volvo is the most powerful when you’re going uphill heavy loaded. Even Peter built always falls behind.
6:57 I wish I could put this engine in a Freightliner Cascadia
Truck Tropia forgot to include the most sold truck in the universe for a reason!!....CASCADIA!!
For those who don't know, Kenworth and Peterbilt are owned by the same company just like Volvo owns Mack. So these comparisons are like comparing Chrysler to Dodge or Ford to Lincoln. Sometimes they come off the same assembly line.
Cool now where's the cabovers?
Je conduis un 860 volvo. Je l'aime bien sur la route, et au truck stop.
One thousandth like :)
I appreciate that, thanks for the support
The only thing that would have made this comp complete would have been a third row with Freightliner vs Western Star trucks 🤣🤣🤣
A Freightliner Cascadia and Western Star 57X truck review video, is in the making :)
I guess some people don't understand sarcasm. For those who don't get it. That's Daimler vs Daimler.
Right on. This video is crap it's only a sales pitch. It's not comparing anything. On top of that the vehicles are from the same stable and is the same shit just different smell. The euro technology is in and is being incorporated more and more in America, even with your American trucks. It's going to start happening here in Australia. Kenworths here are getting the peterbilt dash technology from the 610 series to the new k220. A lot of blokes over here don't like the new technology. Melbourne to Brisbane and a very well known company over here had a Volvo cab over those 700 hp things hit by lightning somewhere in New South Wales and fried the system. Wouldn't run had to get it fix. Same with the new ken 610 same thing happened to that exactly the same company.
@@roneelchandra620 You're right. I think the narrator is simply reading the sales material for each truck.
He's just showing you the brands that are fighting for 3rd place. All 4 of those company's don't sell what freightliner sells in a year combined. Crazy.
THE BEST 👍 👍 👌 👌 👌
_It’s better to get a video like this from experience drivers who has driven all trucks, I myself have driven to Volvo, the Peterbilt, the KW, the Freightliner, but I have yet to drive the Mack truck with the actual Mac engine_
Of the trucks youve driven, what was your favorite (& why?)?
@@somethingepic777
_It’s hard to say, in terms of comfort ability, the KW takes the cake, I love the white cab of the freightliner 2018, but in terms of performance, my favorite was the KW because of the Cummins X 15 engine inside of it, what I did not like about the KW and the Peterbilt is that the prices for repairs are higher than a Mac and freightliner, mechanics hate Volvo._
_Mechanics normally put you on the back burner before repairing your truck, but I hate the Mac their engines like power even with a high gear ratio_
There is no actual Mack Engine it is still basically a Volvo.
As a person who learned on all the brand's. The 2 brands that always held a special place in my heart ❤
Will always be Peterbilt and Kenworth. The freightliner and International amd Volvo always seem to be out of commission and in the shop
Meanwhile no matter how many times you would beat the piss out of them them Pete's amd Ken's would always fire up. Cause no matter how many times we tried to beat them. Those Caterpillar and Cummins motors refused to die. Now I will admit Volvos have slowly wormed their way into my heart. As I will admit i like their styling amd their interiors. However I refuse to have one with that POS Volvo engine. I don't care how ( good they claim to be). The downtime to maintain those motors is outrageous not to mention expense. Meanwhile a Cummins X15 is one of the simplest motors along with the Detroit Diesel oh and Mack as well. They're 3 motors I would never put in a Semi. The Maxxforce engine from International. The Volvo D13 or the worse of the bunch. The Paccar motors. You might as well take those motors and throw them in the garbage where they belong. The Cummins, Detroit Diesel and the Mack motors are the best on the business for a reason. In fact most of rhe time if a Cummins or Detroit Diesel or Mack motor breakdown it generally is up and running within a few hour's hours or a day at most. Meanwhile the other motors had to wait days if not weeks to get the parts and fix the problems.
the best is what you can buy and keep
This make and models ; own each other, respectively; so they is no competition 🤷
I haven't any idea about American trucks but i know that Americans like kenworth most
I prefer the Peterbilt 389 and Kenworth W900 series trucks. I also like the old Diamond REO trucks.
These trucks are beautiful
True :)
Peterbuild n Kenworth parts r crazy expensive..
Thats dealer markups...
Volvo with X15 and 13 speed for me
I wish they kept the design of the freightliner classic xl and renovated it instead of moving to Columbia and Cascadia
Volvo vnl 860 great truck
Only the Volvo even mentions safety as part of their design. Others are all style with same old tech underneath.
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.
For my most favorite is Kenworth and Scania two King more super because the history world the best. no doubt and no more. Thank you
Volvo is like Cadillac
That’s a vague statement
@@hendic
Do volvo trucks not ride smoothly like Cadillacs?
Volvo all the way
Volvo Gang Baby! 💪🏾 😎
Peterbilt but not long noise aerodynamic one very strong tight truck
My favorite truck is Kenworth T680..
Mack is the best truck buses it’s looks great and strong.

Im taking the first-steps towards getting my CDL. I've got a few questions; Whats the most reliable/dependable truck-manufacturer? Best truck for fuel-economy? Which is the best truck for driving mountainous routes (like the Rockies and SierraNevadas)? And whos got the smoothest drive?
Peterbilt 389 or kenworth w900. Both 18 speed.
Fuel-wise and Mechanical Parts Cascadia.
Smooth Drive, the better maneuver and view - is Volvo.
Depending on engine power all of them can do good on Mountain
@@MrOrientalism No they can't do good on mountain. Automatic and DEF ruins everything
@@jacob5014 they have manuals by good I meant he won't get stuck ) I should have said they ok
Don’t worry about all that. You’ll drive whatever your employer has. That said, take the opportunity to drive as many truck brands as you can to find out what you like if you intend on becoming an owner operator some day. Everyone likes different things. I’ve been both a company driver and an O/O and have driven many brands. If someone else is paying the bills, I prefer driving the Kenworth trucks. If I’m paying the bills, I stick to Freightliner. Your experience may be totally different.
What about repair cost? Or downtime waiting for parts? I've heard Vovlo is high dollars for maintenance.
They absolutely are, my friend has one...
do any of those trucks have at least 12 tons rear axles?
at least there are no internationals mentioned above lol
Kenworth will always be my pick 🤷🏻♂️
As a museum object then I guess? The shit they are trying to sell today belongs in the first "Back to the Future", i.e. the 50s. It's embarrassing how far behind the US is when compared to Volvo (or Scania for that matter).
@@sirstormystefan u better check that again I disagree.
Volvo, na minha opinião, é o mais confortável, quero ver o lançamento de um deles com banheiro (restroom) ai, vai revolucionar o mercado.
Which one is the most fuel-efficient? Which one has the most available parts? It's all about the economy nowadays
I drove Volvo and Freightliner. Volvo truck is more comfortable but Fredy I think better on fuel and mechanical parts
👍👍👍👍👍
I really like these models
I'm from europe, wich means i won't see these trucks on the road, but we do have volvos here and you can see a lot of similarities
Kenworth w900 is simply the finest truck ever built period these trucks are for hired help
just here doing my eurotruck simulator research
That T680 is 🔥🔥💥
isnt Piterbuilt and the Kenworth the same truck?
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.
Thanks for the detailed and informative reply
Paccar trucks always break down. Atleast once a week.
VOLVO #1
I luv the peterbilt 579
