desire. especially when measured against the FH16.660 and new-kid-on-the-block TGX 680?
If you're a dedicated Scania buyer you'll no
doubt answer a resounding yes, particularly as the Swedish marque retains a ohenomenal brand image and loyalty among drivers and small fleet operators, not least when it comes to the R-Series Topline.
OK, so Scania's R620 is not "the most powerful series production truck on the market" any more but it's still got enough grunt to pull down the walls of Jericho and it will hardly even notice 44 tonnes.
With power comes responsibility, and if you want acceptable fuel economy from the big V8 you'd better take it nice and easy.
In fact if the price of fuel is more important to you than feeling like King of the Road, here's some advice: order your next Topline with Scania's new 13-litre EGR six-pot. The most powerful 480hp version has the same 2,500Nm of torque as the 500hp V8, and it's lighter too.
As for the Griffin package, it's impressive, but we would still like a few more goodies for our money.
Scania's R620 Griffin is one hell of a driving
machine...all the Swedes need to 1 do now is sort out the back of the cab.
