![]() ![]() (running it with standard gearbox, because the other aren't needed and only increase fuel consumption) Nr.1 : Tayga, Don't think I need to say much about it, its strong, fast, has a large tank, decent fuel consumption and excellent stability. I started to do my own tests, because almost any video with info you can find focuses on speed and while speed is great, playing in hardmode it's way more important that the truck is stable, fuel efficient, goes through everything and has a decent range of options, so I can run it independently from other trucks, tipping over or getting stuck is huge waste of time and money in hard mode, so you want the most reliable trucks you can get.įor the testing, I make a backup of my save and later reset it.įor anyone interested here's a list of the trucks that stood out: It has a street section, lots of mud, a hill, sharp curves, a deep water section through a river, really all you wanna see from a truck except for ice. It's from the garage to the Oilfield, I pick up a oversized cargo container on a sideboard semi or a ramped flatbed (for trucks that can't have low saddle) and drive the route. I really like my current test route in Taymyr, Zimnegorsk. Personally I test run all the trucks against each other with the same load. It seems like the best rule of thumb is to disregard truck stats and just go with features. Fuel consumption seems to be the only useful stat there, and only because fuel tank size is also listed. ![]() I have not the slightest idea what "durability" means, so that's a useless stat to me. Some low PtW trucks are still pretty beefy. Power-to-Weight does matter, but doesn't really tell me if a truck is powerful when I don't know its weight. Honestly, the game does a pretty poor job of giving me useful information in comparing trucks. That actually cut the list down significantly. Mostly what I was looking for was trucks with toggle AWD/Diff, at least three axels (preferably more), access to at least 50-inch mud tires (ideally wide mud tires) and preferably the ability to carry a set of standard modules (i.e. I wasn't happy with my current truck selection as many of them came up short in Alaska, so I went to Russia and grabbed a few trucks from there. With this knowledge, I went on a shopping spree. It barely seems to matter whether a truck is labelled as "Highway" or "Offroad" or "Heavy." As long as they have access to the "features" I want, they all perform roughly the same. What I mean by the above is that a truck's traversal capability is almost entirely dependent on its tyres, AWD/Diff and to a lesser extent engine/fuel tank. ![]() the specific truck kind of doesn't matter. The impression I was left with at the end of the day, though, is. I looked at the stats, I checked the Wiki, I watched videos. Since the moment I unlocked my first garage and that nifty Heavy Duty truck with it, I've been trying to develop some means comparing trucks to each other. This is less a question and more a reflection of my experience so far. ![]()
