RazvyRazvan15 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Hello! I use the Volvo FH12 EURO 6 750HP and the 6x4 axis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lkk65df Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I always use my Scania high roof truck. license plate: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElectroHouse20 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Scania R OR S 8X4 More information can be found here: People are discussing about them here, which is the best truck ( model ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jena Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 To haul Special Transport for me is the Scania S730 with the 8x4 chassis. It doesn't matter if its a R Series, because it just the cab that's different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Business Analyst Jeroen Posted June 28, 2019 Author Business Analyst Share Posted June 28, 2019 Interesting, didn't know the Scania was so good for heavy trucking! I've just used my Volvo FH16C Globetrotter XL as a kind of allrounder. Now bought Scania S High Roof, 8x4, 730 pk, 3.500 Nm / 1.000-1.400 rpm, Opticruise GRSO 925R. Based on the stats this should be a heavy cargo monster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BustyChicksFTW Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I'm confused as how people are praising Scania with Volvo FH16 around. Sure Scania S has better maneuverability when transporting heavy cargo, but the Volvo can truck at 150 with some pretty heavy loads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Night Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 650hp Scania S series 6x2 rear lift. you don't really need double drive for heavy haul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you use mods and play singleplayer, your vehicle don't exist, even in real life.

Sure Scania S has better maneuverability when transporting heavy cargo, but the Volvo can truck at 150 with some pretty heavy loads. There is so much wrong in this sentence, that I can't explain any further. If I want to be able to haul anything, without switching truck, I use something like Scania S520 in 6x4 long with 12+2 gearbox with retarder, or similar setup for other brands. Just avoid using 4x2 with those long rear steer lowdeck trailers, because you can get stuck on terrain in certain areas, namely those dirt road ramps in some dlc quarries. If I ever want to commit only to this type of trailers, or when they will become officially ownable, only then I will use 8x4 chassis. It still amuses me seeing people pulling single axle trailers with 8x4 trucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Night Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 ive done a heavy haul with this baby in single player. She's an R620 6x2 rear lift with single tyre non steering rear axle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RazvyRazvan15 Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 You are right @Granite, i read FH16 and i wrote FH12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I have a fleet of different trucks in SP (with alot of oversize trailer mods) and MP depending on what I'm planning to haul. (Special transports, very heavy, medium heavy, flatbed oversize, long loads,...) But in MP I mostly use the Man TGX 640hp 8x4 with the 16 gears and retarder for the heaviest loads. It's not about horsepowers, it's all about the gearbox (amount of gears) and how much torque your truck can give at certain RPM's. You don't need the highest amount of HP. A 750 hp truck is useless with an 6 or 8 speed tranny for heavy hauls. It also kinda depends on your setup you are driving with. EG: I have G27 with a SKRS so I shift all 16 (or 14 depending on the truck and tranny) gears manually, which is best for heavy hauling, especially in hilly or offroad terrain. Chassis wise, you have different options IMO: 8x4, 6x4 or even 6x2 with tag axle. So short, it depends on what you haul (weight wise), where you haul (terrain wise), and what setup you are using.

viniciusc86 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I use the Scania S730 6x2. It can handle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China-leitinG Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 I think is SCANIA S730 8x4,His eight tires can meet heavy haul transportation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sloggen Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 I like Scania S730 with the 8x4 chassis best for heavy cargo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo0094 Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 I using Mercedes new actros witch 8 wheels 6 gear gearbox and the top engine or Scania S same configuration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ESS5 Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 The best for me is Scania 8x4 730hp with Opticruise GRS 905R Transmission (12+2 with retarder). For Volvo, i dont really enjoy the gearbox. But when its about enjoying challenge (or suffering), its either Scania 4x2 370hp 12+2 Gear or Iveco 4x2 with its 310hp 16 Gear. And like Granite said, 4x2 chasis will get stuck in dirt road alot, thats why i use Iveco model for paved road only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IZMIR_METRO Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Volvo FH16 750 with i-shift crawler 8X4 is best option of course. If you're a vabis fan, R730 with 8X4 can get the job done too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jena Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Depends on you, if you want a truck that is right pick Scania or Volvo. or just get a 750hp mod engine and stick it in any truck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuckraiN Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 I would prefer old case scania. It has the most powerful engine for 0-70 km/h speed. Which is so appropriate for heavy cargos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Death_53 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Hey, I prefer Volvo for heavy cargo. Don't try to be different. just be good. To be good is different enough.
