Scania tractor units are amongst the most popular in the UK. Certainly as far as the drivers are concerned, everyone wants to be behind the wheel of a used Scania R-Series tractor unit. More recently Scania have launched their S-Series top of the range for their tractor units with all the bells and whistles, but there are not too many of these on the used truck market at the moment. To be top of the used truck shopping list, the Scania Tractor unit must be a Topline version – a seriously high roof sleeper cab. Lesser mortals have to make do with the Highline cab – still roomy and desirable but a firm second place. Pretty much all of the Scania prime movers are fitted with the automatic Opticruise gearbox (sometimes 2 pedal, sometimes 3). Whilst most the of the Scania tractors are the R-Series, fleet operators often choose the G-Series with the smaller cab for their operations, also those involved in high payload local bulk operations.
