Well i have a new Iveco Stralis - 3 weeks old
I have
1,no air-con - broken - the gas leaked out due to a hole somewhere under the dash within 1 day of delivery
2,no night heater - the glow plug is defective on order from Italy lol
its not very comfortable either the seat is really hard and so is the top bunk - i am hoping it’ll get softer with age
Some new trucks aren’t always as good as they seem from the outside
the good points are its a flyer 55mph/90km on the button up and down the hills
its good on fuel and it looks good and the digi tacho is a by the second one
The auto gearbox is really nice never seems to forget what gear its in lol
cheers
Steve
