Cheapest Truck
The cheapest truck in ETS2 is the IVECO Stralis, which in its basic version costs only €97,255.
Not everyone is aware of this, but it's possible to reduce this price even further. I managed to bring it down to €92,325 after changing the color to a cheaper one (white) and by removing and changing a few external elements (such as the Sun Visor and Front Mirror).
Best Truck
The best truck is the one that provides you with the most enjoyable driving experience.
Each truck has its own strengths, and it's impossible to definitively say which one is the best. Everything depends on the purpose and individual preferences. For example, someone who values admiring beautiful views might not necessarily need to search for the fastest truck available. They might be satisfied with choosing the Renault Magnum, which is quite tall and offers a large front windshield.
Nevertheless, below you will find our suggestions for three popular use cases.
Best truck for 0-100 km/h speed: Scania R / Scania S
In our test, these two trucks stood out with the best acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h, making them an ideal choice for real-speed competition, where such speed limits are in place.
Choosing between them comes down to individual preferences. In our test, they achieved times of 20.68 and 21.07 seconds to reach 100 km/h, so assuming a slight margin of measurement error, their performance is practically identical.
These trucks are almost identical, although the Scania S is slightly larger. It's also more popular among players. On the trucksbook platform, 4 out of the top 10 players in the 0-100 km/h category this month were using the Scania S as their main truck.
Best truck for unlimited top speed: Volvo FH Classic
The Volvo FH Classic with its 750-horsepower engine is by far the fastest truck in ETS2. In our test, with a trailer on a relatively flat road, the Volvo accelerated to 161 km/h (100.04 mph).
Best truck in terms of value for money: MAN TGX Euro 5
This one is quite subjective. In my opinion, the best value for money choice is the MAN TGX Euro 5 with the best available engine (680 hp), which should allow you to reach speeds around 151 km/h (93.83 mph) and accelerate to 100 km/h in about 25 seconds.
Such a MAN can be purchased for as low as €111,425, which is cheaper than many trucks in their most basic configurations. If you decide to forego unnecessary features like the Sun Visor and opt for the cheapest paint option, you can get this truck for as little as €107,375. A very good price for almost top-tier performance, don't you agree? In my view, it's an ideal choice for an affordable and efficient truck for you or your employees.
Best Starter Truck
The best choice for a starter truck is simply the one you like the most. ETS2 isn't the best game for min-maxing. It's a simulation and a game meant to provide pure fun. If you want to enjoy it, set some goals, and slowly explore different vehicles and configurations on your own.
Nevertheless, if you're into numbers and want to stick with one truck throughout the game (maybe to rack up the highest mileage), the best choice would be a truck that offers many upgrade options in the future, including a powerful engine.
Such trucks include Volvo (with the most powerful engine at 750 hp), Scania (with the most powerful engine at 730 hp), and MAN (with the most powerful engine at 680 hp).
If I were to pick one model, I would go for the Scania S, which offers significant upgrade options, including the option for a modern and highly efficient Euro 6 engine at 730 hp.
