Well I think it's really hard to say which was the best HGV I've ever driven I think you get attached to some motors especially if you spend all the week away in them. I had a Commer Maxiload for 12mths and it was a great motor it never let me down and if you changed gear at the right time it just kept on pulling and the TS3 engine always sounded like a real lorry. I also spent 2yrs living in & out of a day cab S80 Foden and I loved it , I was young at the time, and it did let me down more than once with silly problems but one of the best tractor units I had was a Scania 142 V8 everything just seemed right on this A reg motor, the seats the mirrors, the steering, the power! But the best range of lorry I've driven has got to be the DAF's right from the 1700/1900 rigid series upto the 2800/3600 series although now my brains working the MAN 20/321's or 22/361's were also a brilliant lorry to drive and live in.
Oh well that's my contribution
Regards to all
