Truck tractor Volvo FH

The Volvo FH shows excellence in trip stability. While its safety measures like lane assistance are notable, they might occasionally feel overly precautionary. Still, better more safe than sorry. Maintenance cost seems high relative to lighter-duty trucks, but given its spec sheet, guess that's expected.

I've been in a bunch of cabs over the years and the FH with the D13TC engine has some stuff going for it. Noticed right away the engine noise is less in this one, which is honestly nice for the longer jobs. I ran both the 500 and 460 versions and, yeah, you've got good pull on hills even loaded up. The I-See thing is a bit weird, though. It does shift to neutral earlier than I like. Kinda feels like you slow more than you should on the top of the hill, which annoys the folks behind sometimes. It's efficient, but I'm not sold on the way it coasts. Inside the Globetrotter cab it's proper comfy, can't really knock that, and shifting is smooth enough with or without the Dual Clutch. As for running costs, Volvo says there's fuel savings, probably true over time, but you gotta put in extra to get all the new tech. Not 100% sure it pays off quickly if you're not doing massive miles.

I recently drove the Volvo FH 500, and here's my take. The design hasn't changed drastically compared to the previous model, but those new V-shaped headlamps do stand out. The driving experience remains solid, especially with a loaded cargo. That said, I found some external features a bit redundant. Overall, it gets the job done.

I drove a Volvo FH12 from 1999 just like this one - it really delivers on durability. The 380hp D12C engine? Capable and reliable, especially after a recent rebuild. Manual 12-speed transmission shifts smoothly. The minimal electronics simplifying maintenance is a plus. But the rear tires need replacing, and the frame shows minor rust that’s been treated. Comfortable interior with functional features like a tachograph and cruise control makes long drives manageable. Minimal convenience features, but essentials are covered.

So I got to drive the XF with the MX-13, 530 horses. Pulls nice, plenty of torque even at low revs so you’re not downshifting all the time. ZF TraXon automatic is smooth, no complaints there. The engine brake is more powerful compared to old XF, helps when coming down hills loaded. Nothing to blow your mind about the interior, but it’s roomy and the seat doesn’t give you back pain after a long trip. Multimedia is full of settings I don’t even use. Fuel use is lower, which is good, but the truck’s not cheap up front. Not sure about long term reliability yet, only done around 20k km. Overall, not perfect, but does what I need and keeps me less tired after a shift.

The Volvo FH 13 is very comfortable for me as a driver, after a trip my back doesn't hurt, the seats are comfortable plus two beds, a refrigerator. The 400 hp performs well in different tasks. It accelerates quickly, driving is comfortable, gears shift effortlessly and without vibration. I would give it a 9 out of 10.

I worked on the Volvo FH 460 for a couple of months. Overall, it's a decent machine, but the emergency braking disappointed me - it may not work. I would recommend moving the windshield wipers to the top so they don't smear the glass with sand, otherwise you'll have to replace it soon.

As a driver of the Volvo FH 500, I was impressed by the 500 horsepower engine - it allows you to forget about the lack of power. There are plenty of compartments in the cabin, so there are no problems with storing things. The engine brake holds the truck well, but I only notice some inaccuracies when heavily loaded.

I checked out a similar Volvo FH12, 1999 year. It’s a solid truck for its age. It has a capable engine setup with essential features for day-to-day operations. The front tires were in great shape, the rear needed attention. What stood out was the straightforward mechanics - easy to handle during repairs. Inside, it had a clean and functional cabin, though nothing fancy. A solid choice if you’re after dependable performance.

I'm currently driving the DAF XF 480 FT 2019. The impressions are good. In practice, I have confirmed that the manufacturer is not lying. It consumes less fuel than previous generations. You can save about 10 percent on fuel compared to the DAF FT XF 105.460.
