MAN 14.224 – the 14-tonne class of the F90 generation with a 224 hp six-cylinder, L, LL and LLL wheelbase versions plus LA-4x4 all-wheel-drive chassis, 6.87-litre displacement, gross weights of 14 to 14.5 t
The 14.224 belongs to MAN's classic two-number type logic: the first number gives the gross weight class in tonnes, here 14, the second the engine output in hp, here 224, matching the 162 to 180 kW recorded in the register. The six-cylinder of 6.87 litres comes from MAN's D08 engine family and was offered in the F90 generation from the mid-1980s into the 1990s in numerous wheelbase and drive variants: L as a mid-length chassis, LL and LLL as long and very long wheelbase for box, furniture and fire-service bodies, and the LA chassis, explicitly marked 4x4 in the model name, with all-wheel drive for construction and forestry traffic.

The register lists here 16 versions with 162 to 180 kW from six-cylinders of a consistent 6,870 cm³, unladen weights from 6,200 to 9,350 kg, gross weights from 14,000 to 14,500 kg, lengths from 6,800 to 9,600 mm and widths from 2,490 to 2,600 mm.
In its class the 14.224 was a bread-and-butter truck for municipalities, hauliers and building firms needing a rugged two-axle chassis between the lighter 8 and 10-tonners and the heavy three-axle trucks; the all-wheel-drive versions remain sought after by fire brigades and in forestry to this day.
On used examples, the condition of the frame and suspension, mileage on the D08 six-cylinder, clutch and gearbox, on the LA-4x4 chassis the transfer case and portal axles, and rust on the cab and mudguards count; spare parts run through the MAN network and specialist commercial-vehicle workshops.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
