What’s the monthly lease price of a new Renault T?

£380 plus VAT a week.

Big Truck:

A six month old MAN costs more than a brand new Renault and I can’t see that it’s a better truck.

Surprised at that thought the MAN would be competitive with the Renault!!!

Not far off. But they are slightly more expensive than the T and there are other concerns.

The bunk is a wooden slatted thing and I’m a big lad, the fall arrest from the bunk cuts into my legs. Storage is a little limited. The design of the steering wheel is poor compared to all competitors. The gearbox is terrible.

It suffers from the same problem as the DAF. They are both old designs bootstraped into Euro6C by repeated face-lifts but are falling behind as other marques move the game on.

Get the top bunk specced and bung the top mattress on bottom bunk like I do,
comfy as hell.
No bother with room as you’ve 3 big lockers overhead 2 big outside lockers plus the unused top bunk!!!

Best fridge I know of as stand upright 3 2litre milk/pop bottles.
(R series Scania limited to bloody wee pints milk unless risking milk spilling over fridge. Volvo break your fingers off trying to get drink out while going uphill !!!)

The gearbox is completely changed and now called “Traxon” and not the AS-Tonic.
Although once you get used to it I find it not too bad.

The steering wheel yes it’s BIG but doesn’t cause me any bother.
