Most comfortable truck?
Discussion
Can't tell you that, but I can tell you the most uncomfortable.
Mercedes Axor.
Drove one of these bags of s
t for a couple of days last year.
The problem was, no space in the foot well, it felt like I had my feet in a bucket, I couldn't rest my left foot anywhere and pretty soon I had a bone deep ache through my left leg.
How people drive these day in day out is beyond me.

DAF superspace. I loved the one that I had years ago and most of the foreign trampers I see seem to prefer them, if anyone knows about living in a lorry it's a foreign tramper.
They have always been nice even back to the 95 supers. When they changed to the first 95 XF i think that was a big step forward. Having been in the new Stralis i don't think that's any better than the first XF apart from a few added electronics. Not been in any other upto date trucks to see what they are like.
XF is pretty good, new CF's are similar but high milers are ste, and as with most things DAF I turn the air seat feature off. Says summat when your arse is comfier sat on the running gear! In six leggers I run with the axle down even empty, particularly with M4/5 lane one rutting, unless its stop/start traffic and weight/weather becomes a traction issue. Renault's aren't bad, as with Ivecos (ergonomically ste tho, I mean gear buttons on the dash? ffs). Never liked Scanias, they seem to wallow.
For all round comfiness/ergonomics, power and build quality I don't think you can beat a Volvo or Merc, provided you can remember where the gear change is on the latter!
I do like the Salford XF's best tho, they pull like a bloody train in manual!
Eta, Forgot the MAN! Up there with the Merc for a nice ride.

Agree about the Scania, awful things.
