Actrosman:
Not driven a new Actros but do drive a rebadged Axor every night!! Gearbox at junctions has been covered, I don’t like the way it likes to miss 11th when exiting the tolls on the old bridge. Driving position (for me) is horrible…steering column doesn’t come back far enough and the plastic it’s made from is horrid and shiny…lift axle doesn’t like to be lifted when heavy when preparing for my nightly reverse onto the tight bay (much prefer the old twin steer). Pull the exhaust brake right back and the revs will touch the red when going (down a steep) downhill section…I set the PPC at 88km, -2/+2 and is the only thing that seems to work properly (built in mapping makes the truck go to e-roll at the crest of a hill, dropping to 86 and the exhauster kicks in at 90, holding it back), apart from the electric sunroof! Cup holder right in front of the hazard light button is a bit naff, especially if hazards are used as a prewarning when approaching the back of a queue…apart from that, you’ll like it! Oh…and keep an eye on the tacho when on break etc…turn the ignition back on and it reverts to ‘other work’…have to press the mode switch a bit quick to get it back to where it needs to be! I’ll think of some more in a jif, so I’ll be back!
Never driven one but sounds a right fanny arsed piece of ■■■■…
