    The MAN is an underrated truck. I had four models over ten years and life was a breeze. A no nonsense workhorse. The Actros I've been driving for only three years feels like a life sentence. They are the worst trucks on the road.

    The older MAN's were way far superior. I presently drive a 2015 MAN 540 with 670,000 km on the clock on double roadtrain work here in Australia. Gutless pulling away and a 2 second lag between putting your foot down and actually moving is bad.

    Wow Stavros, I have just learned something new today. You explained what MAN stands for and after all these years I am a happy man. Even more groundbreaking news, you told us the meaning of the lion logo. My dad had a MK1 VW Golf brand new in 1981 and it had the same logo on the steering wheel instead of VW. Somebody please explain why?! :-D

    • @kaireiss3774

      VW used to use in the 60s and 70s the coat of arms from the city of Wolfsburg in their steering wheels. I can clearly remember it in my grandpa VW Beatle.
      It looks somehow similar but it‘s not the lion logo from „Büssing“ which MAN is still using today.

    In 2019 Man are still using that outdated clutch system in the Automatic box. Anyone will tell you, if you need to quickly let your foot off the accelerator just as you've pulled off (probably due to the vehicle in front not moving off quick enough) then the MAN will try to stall on you particularly if you've got a heavy load. I don't know of any other Auto truck which has this problem and can't understand why MAN has never addressed this issue.

    I drive a 2018 xlx 500 the same front end as that but that one is much better spec than mine.
    My one the stereo is crap, am/fm radio or music from SD card are your only choice for music even though it has bluetooth you can't play music through it for some reason, no USB or AUX ports and the audio quality both from music and phone calls is pathetic.
    Manual sun roof that you can not reach from the drivers seat, 2 manual sun visors which the passenger side can not be reached from the drivers seat (RHD model)
    I am really not a fan of it. We have a couple of 2016 models which are far superior to the 2018, although I must say I do like the chrome effect strips on the front of the truck and the do look half way decent when polished up.
    This 2019 model does seem to address some of these issues but that may just be a spec thing. The speedometer has always been an issue on mine, it is hard to read the MPH on it but I like on your one the speed can be displayed in the center which you can not on mine.
    I really do agree with the mirrors although viability in them is very good but you can lose a truck in the passenger side pillar. I really do not know why they insist on such a large steering wheel though (the diameter not the thickness)

      An exhaust brake is just one type of retarder. Exhaust brakes basically make the whole engine a big air compressor, which is hard work for the truck and so it slows down. Other retarders can include electrical systems, which generate electricity from the momentum of the truck to slow it down.

      I've read that this new MAN will be without EGR. "We don’t know what’s under the cab of these trucks but we did hear some rumours that MAN is testing non EGR engines." - IEPIELEAKS. Also this is really likely to happen because Scania's V8 engines are without EGR (MAN and Scania are the part of VW, so called Traton Group)

    • @davidtobias7627
      @davidtobias7627 5 років тому +1

      Yes. Some don’t have EGR’s. I work at MAN and there seems to be a bad batch of EGR’s because trucks that are only a few months to a year old are coming in with EGR faults and being replaced. On the newer euro 6 engines the EGR doesn’t always work well with the adblue and causes problems with the EGR inlet valves.

      @@davidtobias7627 Generally speaking, how would you rate MAN quality and reliability? I heard that MAN is a typical VW concept. Just comply with regular service and it won't stop. Is that correct?

    I'm not impressed by this 2019 model, I drive a 2016 one on daily basis and I had better expectations from the newer model.
