Why Dislike This Truck? Renault Premium - Let's Talk About It! - Stavros969

- Some of you will remember my test-drive video of the Renault Premium truck with it's 460hp Volvo engine and gearbox. I asked you guy's to send in your comments about what you thought of it. Some of you really don't like this truck, but is it as bad as some people think or has it actually been just a very good value truck.
Let's have a chat about it and go down through all the issues.
I also have a quick look at the new Jaguar I-Pace the all electric SUV that will take the fight to Tesla. It certainly has the looks and performance that will generate a lot of sales for Jaguar. With 400PS or 394bhp and nearly 700Nm of torque, and a 0-100Km/h in just 4.8 seconds, this is one fast SUV. With a fully charged battery Jaguar claims a range of 300 miles. Would love to take one for a test-drive...
Thanks for watching UA-cam 'Stavros969'

i disagree with most of this. i work as a hgv mechanic for renault trucks. however i dont think they are the best truck and love a v8 scania.. but having worked on every truck in the business including american stuff i can safely say that Renaults arnt that bad. Some of what you say is true like the cab airbags and locking yourself out. However some of this damage you talk about is driver abuse (wing, step, and driver who cant use a gear selector on a stalk). and other things are not as common as you claim the starter motor. i have come across this problem however it is nothing to do with Renault.. its across the board.. you will go out to jump starts and the exciter wire is corrode this is not a Renault specific problem nore is it more common on a Renault. The whole point about the auto box being left in gear. that shouldn't be in this video either. you can do that with most of the auto boxes. and if its a merc then it has to go back to a dealer . unlike a renault. or anything else for that matter that u just put air in and disengage drive. some mercs have to go to the dealer to be reset. Im not saying they are the best and i can understand why a driver may not like them but this video is full of points that arnt the trucks fault.. and that is really annoying as the truck is not as unreliable as you make out. listening to a driver who cant use a gear selector is not the best way to do research. As an ending point if you want to talk about reliability i would be looking more towards MAN than i would Renault or Iveco
I think most people overlook the fact that the Renaults are basically just simplified and cheapened versions of the Volvo trucks, hence the cheap plastic design and problematic rattling or cracking that occurs. You get what you pay for.
Everytime I see one on the road I cant help but feel sorry for the bloke driving it
Engine and gearbox is good because are Volvo.This truck look very cheap and poor quality.
Really hated brand in the world
Why dislike it? Because it's a Renault and it's only Volvo and Scania that makes REAL trucks.
This trucks are one of the best options on the second hand market.... especially for local or regional transport when you dont need a bigger cab to sleep into
Renault is like a china truck on europe 😂
Everybody hating on Renault , but what happened when the Magnum with Mack E9 V8 was running around? lol ill take that over anything thanks :)
it's a disgrace to call it premium!
Renault tractor was the most comfortable tractor ever. First on the scene with cab suspension back in the 80’s
I really like this renault. I like the model and the interior. It looks really good! I also love to drive a premium
A good ol' truck video from Stavvy the man. Nice one.
Most awaited video. Thanks Stavros
Had one for a two week stint in 2001 - it was a left hooker - with the 12 litre Renault Engine and the Renault 'slap-across' range change transmission. I found it nice enough, it was comfortable good in fuel and reasonably spacious. After that I got spoiled driving Scania! Great review again Stavros.
Seeing my Old Account "Windows 10"'s Comment gives me a lot of nostalgia at
'... so they have 4 year of bumper to bumper warranty on these trucks'
Back in the lay nineties I was working for TNT and we went to the Driver of the year completion at MIRA. It was a big employee family work day thing and one of the trucks they had was a Premium minus the passenger seat but it had this sort of chez lounge type of thing which meant you could sit up on your bunk on a SOFA while you were relaxing, waiting to be tipped at so many NDCs I could mention. It was a good day weather was great and we got the use of the test track with several different trucks to drive.
Eh, for what you pay for them these Renaults are great bits of kit, nice light steering, I've never driven one that has developed much slop, gearbox is solid, an i shift underneath, but I think the software that the French put in it is better than volvos, none of that riding the clutch feeling you get with an FM, the 460 is solid. Maintaining them nowadays is proving to be dirt cheap as Renault maintain a cheap supply of parts.
