The best in ETS2 is 6x2/4 midlift. When it's lifted, it turns into 4x2 actually. When it not lifted, it turns as powerful as 6x4 but with extra 2 steering wheels. This means that 6x2/4 actually wins 2 sets of 18 scores that is 36 scores.

[Peterseli]

I think you missed the biggest advantage of 4x2 trucks in the video. Which is only true for ETS2. Since there is more room for fuel. The fuel capacity is also higher.

[kiriroman]

6 X 4 and onwards, Will remain to be my best chassis, in the virtual world and in real life, that is prime mover I can respect!

[VipapkStudiosOfficial]

I really like the 6x2/2 Taglift, it's so well-balanced and it looks nice at the same time! :)

[AbeHana]

That said, there is no better one and no worse one. There is what you need for what you need to do. Right?

A small thing to note:
4x2 in ETS2 tend to have vastly greater fuel capacity with just few exceptions - I think in case of one of the DAF trucks you have to take elongated version of 4x2 for a massive fuel tank.
On most other suspension types, fuel is fairly limited - this is not the problem in American trucks, however due to generally longer wheelbases allowing them to carry bigger tanks. The exception here would be the "long" variants of these suspensions on Scania trucks, these retain 1000litre tanks - while on most other trucks, you see tanks of 400-800.

Another thing - 6x2 - taglift does not reduce truck's agility that much, unless rear wheel is lowered - it is basically like 4x2 in that regard.

One thing regarding immersion - the most common trucks in Europe are generally 4x2, with more 6x2 in UK.
6 wheel base also is a default in the US.
I'm not counting the legal limitations for weight, which game does not reflect.

Very impressive job to collect all that data, well done AP! I have one more factor why I stick with 4x2 in ETS2: Fuel capacity.

[kelvinknk]

Only this channel can bring a detailed and good content about ETS and ATS like this one. Awesome! I’m always stick with 6x4(long), it’s the most common and popular at my region. Thank to SCS trying to add all variants possible in latest releases. However i know and respect the 4x2 chassis, it all start with those, specially in Europe.

[Thenoobccom]

I really only use the 6x2 taglift in ETS2, and in ATS the 6x4 or the 6x2 midlift, can't complain about those combinations

[Tontzamann]

As a amateur ets player this was clear and detailed video just what i needed. Thanks i appreciate ya

[Swing-power]

Well done, I always like how you make a spreadsheet at the end so you can compare it easier later. My favourite is 6-2/2 taglift, it's a good all around, just a shame that it isn't in ATS

[VinnieP.B.]

1 ot the best ETS2/ATS channel around. Thanx for all info.
Wish u 100k subs soon!

[Curious_Lancelot]

Это лучшее видео на ютубе, которое есть по этой игре!!! Это самый подробный и понятный обзор из всего что есть!!! Аплодируем стоя!!! Спасибо огромное! Это просто топ уровень!

[markvogel]

This is super helpful! I was just randomly buying things because they sounded interesting.

The real issue in regards to ets 2 is to know that you should look up fuel tank sizes on 6x2/6x4 chassis BEFORE you choose a truck. As on a lot of brands the tank is more or less cut in half or even worse (with some having extra tank options at 4x2).
for example. man tgx ~850 stock at 4x2 with an upgrade tank option to 1160 or so. On all 6xX variants it´s down to 400, without an additional tank option. On 8x4 it gets back up to 960.
While volvo for example has a 800 litre fuel tank on the 6xX. And scania 700 or even 1000 with the newer versions on the long chassis.

Now 400litre might sound a lot, surely does in car terms, but with a fuel consumption of somewhere around 35-40 litre (depending on road/load/stop n go thx to hated toll roads) you look for a range of ~400+ kilometres on a single fuel tank. And when you are someone like me that likes to take on long contracts that are like 3000+ kilometres... then yeah you have to stop quite often to refuel which is annoying.

Also and probably thankfully so, there is no weight limitation in ets2 to loads in regards to truck chassis. In a lot of eu countries its sort of 4x2 = 18 tons, 6xX = 26 tons (MAN even addet that into their type numbering 18.480 = 4x2 with 480 hp). Yet in ets 2 you can haul 44 tons of carge on a 4x2 and the only issue you will face is that you may struggle to get up to speed up hill/on rough terrain, that the weight will pull you like nuts if you dare to brake as 4 wheels don´t have the stopping power and that the trailer wants to flip you over any time you dare to turn at highway speeds.

Awesome video AP, thanks! These technical videos help a lot!

[Dave_Albright]

i always drive 4x2 in ETS2 😀 because it's the only one that i see in germany in real life. I live in germany

[lanfenglxf]

I always use 4x2 just because have BIGGEST fuel tank and looks so cool specially with side skirt.

[ignaciotorovillacura]

6x4 trucks maybe are the best in nothing but decent on everything.
