    Welcome.

    Be a little more specific with your question.

    Are you planning on buying a new or used Volvo?
    What do you plan to do with it?

    Etc... Etc......

    Did you try using the search button?

    There's probably hundreds of posts already addressing anything you would ever want to know.

    Give it a try...

    Before asking about the truck , start by asking about the lease.

    Anything made by humans is unreliable, including and especially humans themselves.

    Any truck is only as reliable as the person who cares for it. Trucks that are neglected break down more often and those trucks that are cared for well have less problems. This isn't true of EVERY truck in every situation, however. I've driven a Volvo 780 and it did okay. I never suffered any mechanical failures, but, then again, I drove it less than a year. It had a D13 engine and yes,,,it was good on fuel.
