Picked up a Scania G440 a couple months ago, 2021 model, 6x4, only 40K on the dash. That mileage is nothing, feels barely used - even the rubber's still got all its bits. The auto box took no time getting used to. Honestly, this automatic is smoother than most I've handled, not much jerkiness. Inside, it's clean, still smells new, not much to complain about. Only gripe is the tech inside isn't super fancy, but it's all solid and comfy for long hauls. Didn't run into anything weird with the ride or controls - just works. Would've loved if I didn't have to chase spare parts through the dealer, but so far, haven't needed anything serious. Price was a bit on the higher side, but you get what you pay for in this market. I'd say it's more about reliability and comfort here, nothing flashy, just does the job.

Had my hands on the Scania G440 for a while now, and gotta say, not everything's smooth sailing. The biggest pain for me was the Opticruise gearbox. There were stretches of time where gear shifts made no sense, I’d get jerks and weird rev swings, especially when starting off loaded. Diagnosed that over a year before I finally cracked the culprit-it was the pressure sensor tube for the exhaust gases being clogged. The info just never reached the ECU, so it was always confused about when to shift. Once I cleaned that out and sorted a replacement, shifts got better, though now and then, the thing still acts up on low gears. I pretty much have to manage some shifts manually if I want to keep the revs sensible and avoid kicking the box. Reliability's been alright other than this drama, but I feel like these little issues show up more than I'd like. Cost of running isn’t killer, but service gets annoying when it's always some electrical or sensor headache. Truck's fine once you get past the gearbox, pretty comfy inside if you don't mind a work truck vibe. Not perfect, but gets me there.

I've driven a few Scania G-series trucks and spent some time with this G440. Cab is high and roomy - you get LED lights up front, a big sun visor and heated, adjustable mirrors which help on long runs. The sleeper is usable: upper bunk folds, lower has a thin mattress and small fridge spot. Cabin controls are simple. Auto gearbox, cruise and engine brake make highway work easy. Note on lifting the cab: clear everything out first, they warn that loose stuff will mess with the lifting mechanism. Also there's no oil dipstick on the motor, the truck uses an electronic oil-change warning - took me a minute to get used to that. On the plus side the radiator has a protective mesh and the air filter is easy to reach. Two batteries with strong cranking amps are good for cold starts.

Small gripes: the lack of a dipstick feels odd, and you must be careful when lifting the cab. Otherwise it's comfortable for long stints and easy to drive. For me this one fits well when you want less fiddle with gear splitters and a solid cab setup.

Drove the G440 on a pretty long run last week. The cab changes stand out right away. There’s actually a funnel with a filter for windshield washer fluid now, which is a small thing but when you’re topping up after a dusty trip, you get why it matters. The new panel layout is alright, not sure I love the new steering wheel shape though. Fridge placement is okay, still wish they’d give us more space for snacks. Engine warms up faster-did notice it saves a bit on fuel. Suspension handles bumps a bit cleaner but still gets loud on rough roads. I do like the ability to drop gears to slow down instead of riding the brakes, gearbox responds pretty quick. Not bad overall, but nothing here blows my mind. Solid, does the job, just has some bits I wish were slicker.
