If manufacturers didn't push at the leading edge of technology there wouldn't be any progress. But does it sell trucks? No, if you study the first two years of Actros production. With M-B growing ever stronger in the UK market the introduction of a stylish roomy cab might have generated even greater interest. Perhaps it was a case of too much all at once. Why take the risk when someone else can find the pitfalls? But two years on, the Actros seems to be damn near pitfall-free. Most models on the used market are ex-demo, but over the next year supply should grow from a drip to at least a trickle. If you fancy economical V6 power, an electronic gearbox, electronically controlled disc brakes and modulated suspension, this could be the used truck you've been waiting for.
