![]() It ain’t fast, though, despite having enough power fine-tune gearbox is highly recommended. Has roof rack, low fuel consumption, great suspension, rarely takes any damage – and comes with a unique powerful compact crane. Notable loadouts: sideboard + sideboard + crane, low saddle + crane, long log + log crane, 3-slot-sideboard+sideboard, heavy maintenance, heavy crane.Īcquisition: Season 5 DLC, acquired for free in Rostov Active suspension helps a lot, but does not alleviate the issue, and the upgrade is a pain to get. HOWEVER! The truck has a low-hanging nose, making vertical off-roading problematic. My default truck for non-masochistic routes. Also pretty great as a heavy crane thanks to its stability. Has a lot of frame options, including 3-slot beds (won’t fit with crane, though). It’s fast for a heavy, with always on lock, good grip from the sheer number of tires and great turning radius further increasing your effective speed. Upgrades: Taymyr, Amur for suspension (must have) Notable loadouts: 3-slot-sideboard + sideboard + crane, low saddle + crane (not recommended), long log + log crane, short log + medium log + log crane, service module + low saddle.Īcquisition: purchasable in Russia from level 20 ![]() However, it’s the only truck out there that can mount a 3-slot frame along with a crane, and it doesn’t have any glaring weaknesses. There are more pleasant heavies to drive, this thing is long and could use a bit more power and fuel. Nevertheless, it’s still useful in endgame for more speed on relatively simple trails.Īcquisition: Season 3 DLC, acquired for free in Wisconsin The only real downside is acquisition difficulty: you will have access to better heavies by the time you unlock this one. ![]() Longer wheelbase than the standard Tayga, allowing for ssc loadout and even better stability, although in rare situations it can get bottomed out. Notable loadouts: sideboard + sideboard + crane, low saddle + crane, high saddle + crane.Īcquisition: Season 6 DLC, acquired for free in Maine Vorons are good non-heavies in general this version has slightly less power and an unchangeable off-road transmission, yet can comfortably mount the much desired ssc combo. Roof racks are also taken into account where applicable.įeel free to use flatbeds if you’re confident and/or need a bit more power.Īcquisition: purchasable in Russia from day 1 For instance, Kolobs have scary consumption figures per minute, yet they are rarely slowed down by terrain, so the distance you can expect to cover is still respectable. In the list below “fuel endurance” refers to the distance the truck can be expected to cover without refueling. Tatra 805, Warthog and Ford F750 can also be used for it, as they’re smaller, faster and easier to drive on-road. ![]() That said, the list below aims to highlight trucks that remain useful in harsh environments.Īs a note, it ignores support vehicles, as you’ll generally drive them on “highways” before parking on some crossing, so pretty much any truck with terrain-fitting tires and a combination of fuel/service modules and trailers depending on map needs will do. While everything struggles on hard terrain, trucks with perma-locks traverse light to moderate off-road faster, which also helps preserve fuel by cutting time and engine strain.įine-tune transmissions are highly recommended for trucks with switchable diff locks, as you can emulate “always on” mode at least occasionally with low ++ gear. There’s a world of difference between pushing your bumper through snow and gracefully carrying it over, especially with sticks and stones littering said snow, not to mention the extra grip/stability/approach and departure angles from larger tires.ģ. All things equal, every extra inch makes the truck progressively better in hard terrain. Self-explaining for hardmode, yet even on normal it (a) allows to recover from a mistake instead of sending a potentially very time-consuming rescue operation and (b) allows you to use the same truck in different types of mission without going back to the garage, simplifying logistics.Īs a workaround, Loadstar can be winched to your trailer as a “compact” crane.Ģ. However, I bumped into Amur very early and hit a brick wall: most trucks performed very poorly.ġ. Moreover, if you’re having fun driving a certain truck – great, doesn’t matter if it’s effective, fun is what we’re here for. This opinion piece was meant to answer a simple question: which trucks you should be looking out for to get the best performance on difficult trails (as of Season 6).īase game maps can be completed with pretty much any vehicle.
