I've been behind the wheel of the FM 400 for a while now, so I know this truck pretty well. What I like is the pulling power, no question. Even with a full load, especially on the plain roads, it doesn't struggle much. 400 HP is no joke for heavy haulage. Gear shifting is smooth enough but sometimes when I'm loaded to the max, it takes a bit longer to get going. The space inside is surprisingly good, and I can sleep without feeling cramped. The cab layout is alright, but I wish some switches were easier to reach. For long hauls, the fan setup and places to keep food help a lot. Maintenance isn't cheap, those axles and tires cost a lot when you add it all up. Sometimes the ride gets bumpy and loud if the road's not great, but overall, no big issues. Reliability's solid, it doesn't let me down unless something really bad happens.

I have been using the Volvo FM for regional hauls for a few months now. Its core design is practical, focusing on functionality rather than luxury. For instance, the low cab makes entering and exiting easier, but the space feels quite limited compared to long-haul models. The 9-liter engine provides adequate power for most tasks. However, additional storage space or features like better heating options would improve comfort significantly.

Recently, I had the chance to drive a Volvo FM. Its handling and control on shorter routes are impressive. Unfortunately, the minimalistic interior design and lack of advanced driver amenities left me feeling like it was a bit outdated. Nevertheless, this model fulfills its intended purpose.
