I’m a diesel mechanic & I’m judging based on how many issues I see with each brand of truck, I gotta say our customers with Peterbilts have the least amount of wiring or chassis issues by far. I would say the worst for wiring issues would be Volvos or internationals. Freightliner seem to just be meh okay. But they’re the cheapest option too.
Currently in my first Volvo, it's CNG and the damn thing sucks. Gutless, constantly developing missfires, it even managed to break the wiper motor in heavy rain, due to the fact that I had the audacity to turn the wipers on full speed. Garbage. Hell, my dad's now ancient Astro 95 with air powered wipers was more reliable.
what about kenworths?
The brand new Peterbilts have a transmission fault issue that also goes for the Kenworth but the Peterbilts have it more often and it's a bitch trying to get the truck started and to move after that
@@westernstar9121 can’t say I have seen any of that, most of the peterbilts & KW that come through my shop are Manuals so we’ve done a few clutches but that’s mostly it
How about Toyota semi ?..they should make semi and show them how it’s done
I'm a girl and I don't know a whole lot about trucks, but that International Lonestar is one handsome truck. . Somehow they managed to make it aerodynamic and still keep the traditional look. I love that grille and the tall dual exhaust pipes. We don't have cool trucks like this in Germany.
Very first truck I drove in USA was a Peterbilt so it remains my favorite, having said that all the brands have advantages and disadvantages.
Freightliner is a workhorse, it won't let you down, very rare in shop
@@kevinkwiatkowski7197 you put a DD15 power train in a w9 best truck ever
@@kevinkwiatkowski7197 Cummins X15 from Peterbilt 579 is a lot better than the Detroit DD16. Although DD16 is a 600 hp engine, but both the cummins and detroit share same torque, about 2,050 ft lbs of torque
As a long haul Owner Operator , I went with comfort and bought a 2019 Volvo Vnl 860 Globetrotter Automotive 12 spped. I lived in that truck with my wife for 3 years ( she learned to drive in it ) I had other trucks before , but this is the one I kept , reliability not bad ( injector cups and 1 starter ) it has 705,592 miles on it so far . Keeping it till the wheels fall off
Volvo for me. Smoothest ride, best driver comfort. Important to me cause I spend weeks away from home.
as a truck technician working in a fleet of peterbilt 579s, so far, they are junk. the digital dashes are freezing affecting drivability and ecm mileage to odometer mileage, the side fairing latches and strikers are worn out after 100k, the bendix side radar and front radar are causing so many issues we have drivers threating to park their trucks as they are constantly beeping at everything from overhead bridges, guardrails and even vehicles in other lanes up front, unplugging the sensors dont help, its a programming issue bendix is trying to work on.
If a top brand as Peterbilt are having extensive issues, i cant imagine what the other brands are having for issues, kenworth is also part of the paccar family so they will have the same faults as petes.
Give me an early 2000s pete 379 with a series 60 and 18 speed any day of the week over this new crap if I was a driver...as a mechanic, I love it as it keeps me busy all day long.
I drive a new daf (paccar) and have not had any problems at all.
I've had the same adaptive cruise issues with the rental Cascadia I'm in and that has cameras as well as a radar sensor. Still does the same stupid crap as my older KW.
currently, in school for diesel tech, is it fun working on different trucks?
yeah that bendix fusion is some hot garbage
My dash is frozen right now and truck don’t have a kill switch
Still driving my 2000 Peterbilt 379 with C-15 Cat 600 and 18 spd.Built to last.1.4 million miles on truck and platinum engine overhaul in November. Still the ole Cat had very little blowby.Regular maintenance is the key.
If we could get the rest to follow, we would have far fewer horror stories.
Hey man serious question for you, how many engine hours did you have when you did that overhaul? And was that your first overhaul or had you had a previous in-frame done?
@@WillCarter1976 Truck had 1.4 million on it.Truck.has 40,000 miles on Platinum out of frame overhaul .
That was first overhaul.Ran Shell Rotella with Lucas oil treatment each oil change
I started with a Peterbilt 359 EXH, 3406B Cat and a 5&4 transmission. Loved it! Moved to a 379EXH with a 450hp Cat and Eaton Fuller 18spd. Another awesome setup, so you can kind of see where I stand on these..lol
the best truck is with the good driver..no truck will last long with no good driver
Volvo is the only one that has airbag and reinforced frame for safety. I pick them cause they seems to be the one that care more about drivers
I am north European owner driver. I don't really understand why Volvo do not want to bridge flag ship engine 16 litre 750hp. I have second teuck with this engine and last one is even more boosted with hydrohen and output is 830hp. I do understand usa has more flat roads. Nut torque and lower idle speed makes better engine live.
The usa has more miles of mountain road than any country in the world.
@@thomtrucker1925 Not counting special routes or permits, the standard load for US truckers is 80000# while it's 140 000# for trucks in Sweden where Scania and Volvo is from. And they're in the process to potentially upping that to over 160 000# if I'm not mistaken. They even have 1 truck hauling fuel for a powerplant at 216 000# (it has special permission though as it not only has an extreme weight but also is the longest truck in europe far exceeding the normal lengt). And the terrain there is more twisty and have frequent and high degrees of elevation changes. That is why Volvo and Scania made those super powerful engines. For most truckers in the states with their regulations on loads and the typical straight roads with not as frequent elevation changes that power is not needed and only means a more expensive truck overall. I think Volvo have probably vetted the market and deemed it not financially feasable to offer that engine there because most US truckers would not buy a truck with that engine.
@@antioch4019 Pretty much that’s why they announced in January 2017 that they wouldn’t be making the D16 engine in the North American market.
@@antioch4019 Good summery! The weight limit was increased to around 163k more than 5 years ago. This year the length limit was increased to 34,5m.
I can also mention that Volvo D16 was available in the US, it was however discontinued as demand for it were low for the reasons antioch4019 mentioned. They also had manufacturing issues in the US with problems to maintain the very tight manufacturing tolerances required for the D16 engine.
i work for rush truck centers, who is mainly a peterbilt parts and repair center, i work the warehouse with all of the parts, and it cool to see all of the stuff that goes into these machines
International is definitely my pick. I currently drive Peterbilt. 85% of the company is International. I used one of the new ones and I'm not gonna lie it was tough getting back into my pete. Even the auto shift wasn't bad. They have a Paddle shifter so you can manually shift if you still want to.
😅🤣International.
Kennworth Mack Western Star
In the last year iv gone from a freightliner to a international, to a peterbilt, and then back to back freightliner just got into my 3 freightliner afew days ago. The peterbilt was spacious but felt the stiffest to drive. The first freightliner was decent and new(40k miles at start) good power and drove smooth, but the other 2 were crap, drive rough and alot of interior things were annoying, (300k-420k at start) the international was the best in my opinion. I really liked the drivability and everything in the interior worked like it was supposed to. It struggled in the wind though and once it hit 300k thing keep going wrong with the motor. Before it hit 300k I loved it though and went all over america with it. Out of the truck I drove 2020 international is my pick. The freightliners im in now ate the oldest iv drove being 2019 and the only Newish truck I drove was a 2022 cascadia.
New Internationals are nice! Trust me. The HX is not only gorgeous, but tough as a coffin nail.
I drove one international Lt and told my company I wouldn't ever accept another one, will quit before driving another international. Biggest pos I ever drove
Could be because you are comparing a modern aero International to an old long nose Pete.
The Peterbuilt 578 Ultra Loft and the Mack Anthem are both my favorite trucks of all time 👍
To me, the perfect truck would either be a Peterbilt or Kenworth with a 90” sleeper with a queen size bed that lifts up and you have a lot of storage underneath it like freightliners and western stars. Also, Kenworth and Peterbilt need bigger refrigerator options. My wife goes with me and the queen size bed. I shouldn’t have to go to buy a new truck and put a bolt sleeper on it to make that happen. Yes, there are many drivers that don’t stay out very long. I’m not one of them. We stay out 5 6 7 months at a time. If we look at it as getting paid to see the country.
I can't comment on other brands except Peterbilt, but drove most all of them. I put around 750,000 miles on a long wheelbase double bunk cab-over and a very long wheelbase walk in long nose. I never had any problems with either. They were flawless well proven trucks. The long nose was cramped in the front. The Cab-over was like the Starship Enterprise. Complete with a huge 1 piece windshield and 3 windshield wipers. (1982) It blew a turbo on it's very first trip, but that was a Cummins issue with a new style turbo they were using for the 400's, not a Peterbilt issue. And they flew the part and a mechanic out in a private jet to Laramie Wyoming to get it fixed overnight. I just love the Peterglide air ride and consider it far superior to anything else out there; including the Kenworth 8-bag and that mess Freightliner uses. I did spend a little time in a Freightliner and they don't call them Freight shakers for nothing. What a horrible truck. Yee Haa, it rode just like a buckboard.
Kenworth is my favorite. I'm in an older Mack mostly now.
Great truck 👍
all these trucks have pros and cons but peterbilt 389 and kenworth t800,w900 are my top 3 favorites
👍
Ditto here
If you drive as your work and you once drive Volvo, you allways dream about it.
Yeah I have nightmares of all the break downs in the middle of nowhere in those POS.
Ride great, just spec them with a Cummins engine. The Volvo engine harnesses and sensors will drive you insane, if you keep the truck 4 years.
Drove a buddy out of business.
He manages a small fleet, in the North now.
I don’t, I always see them broke and never working.
A couple people are said why i dont like them they are very comfortable tho
Maybe if you only drive on.main highways.
All these truck brands have a niche market.
Mack is vocational to concrete mixers, and refuse trucks.
Volvo makes highway haulers.
Navistar is cheap short haul
Same for freightshakers
Western star makes logging trucks
Pete and kw make everything in between and for less.
I drove for Marten transportation and Schindler national started with a cab over Navistar. Ruff ride shot frame. Drove a Volvo white GMC next leased to SNI again. The last 6'years Marten transportation I drove Freightliner. With a Detroit engine. And a super 10 transmission. Got a new truck every year with Marten transportation. Frightshaker LoL was the best for me from 1989-99 a million miles 48. states and Canada. And I drove 2 1/2 tons truck in Vietnam 68-69
From a economic standpoint I would have to go with freightliner you can get it with Detroit engine as far as the emissions control engines they get better mileage and less maintenance
Ooh I don't know about the less maintenance but yeah they are pretty damn nice. The best thing is the warranties that freightliner and detroit offer. ALWAYS ALWAYS get the extended warranties.
There is a real good reason 1/3 of the trucks on the road is Freightliner.
Cause they are the cheapest available and fleets love them.
Megas only care about what’s the cheapest
@@moosey1978 Cheapest to buy, best fuel mileage, longest lasting engines, biggest amount of service shops-what more do you want?
@@Tchristman100 an attractive truck, better resale value, more customization. And I can get 7mpg from a 379 with a hot cat.
@@moosey1978 7mpg is not 8-9mpg with a DD15
Truck tropia should do a video explaining axle configurations and why different configurations are used
Wil do 👍
Absolutely! Now that would have huge benefits!
generic marketing terms on top of generic marketing footage followed by unjustified rating numbers, my favorite was 6:28 “dramatically improves efficiency up to 3%”, thank you sir
KW or Pete👍
Why?
I've delivered to their (Paccar) HQ office for 15 years:
Everyone from the corporate executives down is kind & gracious to me, despite me arriving in a Freightliner🙄
It shows their leadership is respectful of our industry & people.
25 years - drove them all and Volvo no doubt is number by far
This is real good stuff. I’m gonna use the Peterbuilt portion on my channel but giving you guys the credit with a link to the original video. This is the best video explaining the difference between these well known trucks. 🥰🤗
Thanks 👍
very nice, and can you include prices also and maintenance costs
I've driven every brand but Western Star and currently own a T680 but would probably go back to a Volvo if I could.
Why is that? (if you don't mind me asking)
@@geneconnelly3852 I liked how the interior was designed on my Volvo. Was also nice having a roped in windshield instead of glued on. Even as a midroof truck, I felt that I had enough space to store everything I needed to bring.
Shoulda reviewed the Intl HX series. Incredible trucks!
I love the over hood visibility of the 2014 Kenny I drive now. But the small cab doesn’t give much space for two people and their stuff like hardhats and lunch boxes. Being in Canada, it blows me away that the driver has only one floor heating vent that points at the side of my right shin. The dashboard vents are carried over from the 80’s. Why Paccar, why bolt the ECM directly to the engine? The same year Western Star I drove previous had poor, pedestrian and even car hiding visibility but a huge cab with lots of space.
Well that western star is essentially a Freightliner in a different skin so
I still miss my KW T-2000. It drove down the road like a conventional, plus it had the largest standard sleeper at the time. Backing up, it was like a cabover. You could see everything and I got it in and out of the caves here in KC without any problems. Had a bit cat, which got horrible fuel mileage, but I could top Mt. Eagle in 9th, fully loaded passing trucks that were empty.
A pity Eaton Fuller manual transmissions aren't optional on European truck brands. For the connoisseurs.......
Thanks for the presentation.
No problem 👍
European trucks have not had manual crash boxes for over 20 years. All their manual transmissions are fully synchronized. Which means they have to use the clutch on every shift, but most clutches are light pressure with air power assist.
Buddy, the last thing you ever want in your truck, is a manual transmission. The only reason US truckers still prefer a manual is because their trucks are still in the experimentation phase of making their own automatics and are still not that good at selecting the correct gear. European trucks (most of them at least) perfected this long ago.
Don't make the mistake of thinking a manual is more "fun and engaging" to drive. Fun is for you own private car to joy ride on weekends. In a work truck, you want as little labor as possible. 20 years of rowing through gears is going to leave you with the "shakes" in your senior years.
I hope you'll make a video about Asian trucks, because your videos are top notch and I will watch that video instantly as early as you uploaded it
Wow thank you so much 👍
Correct me if im wrong to what ive notice via research is kenworth T680 was the first to introduce the digital dash and that technology was incorporated into the Peterbuilt are both of these companies working in partnership
I’ve gotten 11MPG out of a 2022 Peterbilt 579 full roof sleeper with Cummins x-15 450HP engine 12-speed automated transmission but mostly what I get is about close to 9mpg average is about 8MPG not bad for a fully loaded sleeper truck with a Thermoking tri pak APU.
My personal favorite truck is the Kenworth W900 with a Cat C15. Now the next truck I'm going to buy is going to be a Freightliner Cascadia with a Detroit Dd16.
That's good to share the price list too.
There is no Price list
Wow 😢
Being a semi truck driver in United Stade and Canada , is my dreamy life. Also With a dog...
A bit rough, nothing flashy, but started out driving Internationals. I respected them because they were tough, rugged trucks. Guys used to beat livin' hell out of 'em! They took it & kept on running.
Thanks for sharing 👍
I still drive my old white western star and it still never skips a beat
Yeah, but the old Western Star trucks were REAL TRUCKS, not "disguised, rebadged" Freightliners.
@@bosabarbosa1795 yeah the freightliner classic were amazing
@@bosabarbosa1795 After Western Star got rid of the 4900 and 5700XE models everything they made has been shit
@@nirlambghumman7398 Indeed! Western Star used to be one of the "toughest trucks", until Freightliner bought them!!!
the Mack Anthem 6X4 2-Dr High Roof Sleeper Cab should do well in prime Europe markets . . . features like higher ground clearance, actual leather upholstered the cab, Infinity or BOSE® in-cab entertainment system, smaller & compact microwave & large multi adjustable captain seats trimmed in fine Nappa leather . . . to drive in the EU full feature ADAS is a must . . . modern day semi trucks could do without the huge bulky fifth wheel coupling piece of kit to which the trailer is attached . . . because their are better, more convenient tow systems available for semi trucks that doesn't even need the fifth wheel coupling . . .
Mack 🔥❤️
A great truck, but need a Update on the interior
@@TruckTropia Yes....true 👍👍
9:54 Saludos desde Cuba, Me quedo con el Peterbilt 😍 es el mejor
International LT with the X15, automated ultrashift transmission very reliable, simple to work on.
The only thing I can think of at that time has spent a total of four or five years ago when the first time since the beginning
my cdl school had a freightliner and i also did my test on it . idk for some reason that freightliner acted better then the peterbuilts and KW's ive driven since .
Dont know this one hopefully it would be more dependable then the ones before
My favorite truck was a 1988 Ford with the Detroit engine.
Driving them is one thing. Owning and maintaining them is another. I've owned 1000's and I'll take an International over all the rest
1000? Wow thats alot
@@TruckTropia 1000's
Navistar for life 👍🏽
I agree
im willing to bet you have been out of business for 20 of the 30 yrs u been in business🤷🏼♂️
My favourite is volvo
Western Star was by a long shot the best when it was still built in Canada.
Where are they built now ?
@@vlrdmtr Portland Oregon, and I recall hearing maybe some models in Cleveland Ohio
We had tremendous success with Western stars in central-southern Africa//
Peterbilt 379 for me
I do like Peterbilt, Kenworth, and Western Star. And I think International as well
What do you think of the new emission reduction standards that go against the Diesel engines? What company will win the leadership of electrification? Hyliion, Tesla, Nikola or Volvo. Hyliion is the only one I know of that will use Peterbuilt, Freightliner and Kenworth
Early 379 long nosed Pete, with headlights up on the bumper. Powered by 425 Cat , 13 speed and 370 rears. Pure bliss!!!
I like Peterbilt since 1998 (from movie Black dog). The model Pet.379/389 is my fav.
Freightliner/western star is the best hands down because of the Detroit engine. Cummins give you more power but detroits are more reliable and cheaper to work on when they do break.
Iv driven both alot and I loved the cummings...until it got 300k and things kept going wrong.
I am not a trucker and with how the industry is going i most likely never will. But if i could buy one and use it for work and all i would most definitely take an international prostar with an x15 sleeper mid roof or higher roof, and manuel transmission. Sorry not taking any automatic
The new T680 and 579 are the best looking trucks out there. Freightliner might be a cheaper truck, but the Paccar products have a better look. I definitely like the interior design of the Paccar trucks, especially the T680.
Wow i really love Mack anthem my favorite truck
Thanks for sharing 👍
I drive for a maga carrier, they buy Pete's Freightliners and Internationals, they are all garbage because they are speck for a CEO who don't even have or ever had a license to drive a truck, so the performance of all the brands are terrible, and a new driver wouldn't no it because it's the only thing they know. They've mad strides on automatics, but not enough, manual transmissions are still the best. Better feul economy, normally means poor performance for the driver. Trucks are designed for mega companies, not drivers, until that changes, trucks right off the line will just be ok.
I recognize that voice, you're also voicing the Gaming Investigations channel! Working hard I see
No we just use the VoiceOver man 😅
Western Star and Volvo.
Still can’t beat a old Kenworth W9 or peterbuilt 379 I’d take one of those with a mechanically injected Cummins or cat any day of the week
the beauty of T680. OMG
MACK is the worst mainly because mirror's position
Peterbilt & Volvo
For some reason I sleep better in smaller spaces than I do my own bed . I always wanted to be a truck driver just because it looks cool to sleep in them while in the road
Peterbilt 579 I drive a 2020 579 ultraloft fully loaded
Kenworth for life
I don’t drive a Volvo myself, but I will! I’m not a big fan of American style trucks, but I was surprised by how good Volvo’s truck looked. Perhaps it’s their generally square design that I like about Volvo design wise. They never disappoint
You Should see the FH16. Inside it is not that big, but it drives more than Well!
Volvo sucks, they are unreliable, and are UGLY
Looking forward great 👍 truck 👍👍🇦🇺😊
For me
Road Handling - Peterbilt - kenworth
Interior space - Volvo
Freightliner! Smh, to light, horrible in the wind and please get rid of those big seats. The last good one was the columbia.
i am not at all impressed by the limited engine choices in the KW and the Pete. so i guess i will stick with my old junk freightliners with 60 series Detroit's.
Kenworth beautiful MaşşAllah
Peterbilt 359 is the best truck ever made. Volvo is a throw away truck you throw it away right from the beginning.
Pro star LT with the Cummins
Freightliners are the jeeps of trucking
no frills, reliable, easily repaired
If youre on the road to make money, theyre your bet
I like your content bro💞
Thanks 👍
I love all of them
i will always love a freightliner cascadia baby.
I love volvo and WS, peterbuilt is great too!
Western Star and Freightliner are the same company they literally use the same high ceiling sleeper etc, essentially a Western Star is a glorified Freightliner lol. At least Peterbilt and Kenworth are two different designs but they're also the same company lol.
I'll take a 1998 IHC 9670 90" BBC flattop cabover. Red top N14 Celect 525 HP.
13speed Road ranger 3:90 rears with double lockers on 40,000 lb Hendrickson walking beam. 200" WB. Holland Blockable 48" long slide 5th wheel. Dual polished SS 6" Exhaust with polished mufflers set at 11 ft tall with 45°turnouts. Dual air cleaner stacks. Mounted to a Polished aluminum headache rack with a Diamond plate 50gal. Hydraulic tank feeding a 2 line wet kit. Dual 120 gal PA fuel tanks with SS straps and PA steps. Full deck plate. Air dryer has a built in bypass. Just close a couple valves.
11R22.5 rubber on 10 hole PA Alcoa Wheels. Disc brakes all around. With
SS 1/2 fenders. Bob the frame horns behind the last X member. Add a heavy
Pintle hitch with air and electric to the rear. Front bumper is a 2x12" box beam
with a dozer hitch in the middle.
Thanks for sharing 😅👍
Luv my mack. Tuff as nails.
If I were picking a truck my first pick would be Peterbilt followed by Kenworth and then Mack or International.
I'll stick with my 98 kw t600 with a 12.7 dirty Detroit, 10 speed super dependable and its paid 4...
My favorite truck is Wester Star 5700XE. I think it's a very best truck on earth.
Personally, I hate all these trucks. While I recognise the fuel efficiency of the aero style bodies, I find them rather ugly; and the replacing of analogue gauges and buttons with digital displays seems incredibly stupid to me. Half the gauges are hidden, requiring the driver to search through menus to find them; or have been removed entirely in favour of sensors. I think it's much safer to be able to quickly reference a gauge than it is to search for it in the menus. I also want to be able to see if my engine is starting to overheat, or if I'm losing air pressure BEFORE they reach the critical range, where the sensors will start going off.
In my honest opinion, I feel that manufacturers nowadays are designing their trucks with new and inexperienced drivers in mind; and while that is a good mentality, it also means that unqualified drivers can drive their equipment. A reviewer (I cannot remember their name), with zero experience driving truck, test drove the new Western Star 57X on Western Stars test track and likened it to driving a Camry. This should be a massive red flag to manufacturers. These machines are not meant for just anybody to get in and use. They require skill and training.
I'm like 90% sure you're referring to that one kid from TFL Truck. It sounds very familiar.
I'm always gonna be a Peterbilt guy because of the 1980 359 he had when I was a little kid
The best in comfort International LT
Pre Volvo merger Mack is my favorite
International period...!👍
KW and Peterbilt are good trucks, but the problem with them is the Paccar engine; They don't offer Detroit or Cummins which are both better engines.
Your statement proves you know nothing.
KW and Pete both offer Cummins engines
@@chakagillis You're right, Both KW and Pete are finally offering Cummins now, as well as Paccar engines.
@@4321grp finally offering cummins? They have for decades. 🤔
@@chakagillis I was thinking they only offered Paccar for a while there. In the 80s and early 90s I maintained a fleet of T-800 KWs, and we had Big Cam Cummins, 3406B Cats, and we even had one with a Series 60 Detroit. Our Cummins engines outlasted the Cats between overhauls.
Paccar-Daf engines not my favourite//
Volvo 🙌🏼
MMMMACK!!
My favorite is Kenworth
Idk when it comes down to it they're all running the same drive trains suspensions and frames. Sure one might be more comfortable than the next but it all comes down to preference. I'll keep my flat top 359 and make the same money as the dude with the new luxurious plastic truck and those big payments
My favorite would be a kenworth W900 with a studio sleeper, or any kenworth with a studio sleeper and the windows on the top front and side of the sleeper. I have always loved the look of the 2 front widows at the top of the sleeper with the side windows to match, and I want a sleeper with a couch on the bottom. The table and chairs is nice too that other trucks have
What is a studio sleeper if I may ask?
@@Solitude633 it's big enough to be a studio apartment, I like the one with the couch on the bottom
freightliner holds the 40% of market share in North American truck market
