Be nice to the dealer, you’ll spend plenty of time with them.
Seriously, they’ve got a reputation for long wait for parts and repairs (a firm around here have got so fed up of theirs they’re replacing them with refurbished Fodens.)
The Arocs is over sprung for the UKs gross weights so you may find the Arocs a rough rider.
The gearbox is a Marmite one. Hopefully an Actros driver on here will give you some tips
You also get several cab options, the shortest is meant to be ■■■■ poor if you’re fairly tall.
I also read somewhere that the radio is fiddly.
On the plus, they’re meant to be pretty good off road.
The gearbox is turd and I spent most of the time in manual but that was me, you might love it.
