Trailer Review & Thoughts On Hauling Setups

There is two schools of thought when it comes to hauling cargo. In this trailer guide/ review we will talk about the discussion on which trailer setup is right for drivers. Hopefully this video doesn't dissuade you from your current setup, but I hope it shines a new perspective. I want to thank everyone for your support as always; It means a lot. Enjoy! Love ya'll!

A Pro of hitch trailers you didn't mention was winching. You can detach, drive forward and winch the trailer to you when the mud would otherwise prevent you pulling it.

[FranklySean]

The best trailer is a second truck. You can equip chains on one, and mud tires on the other, and they will push each other when one gets stuck. And if one of those trucks has a crane, you can even clean up a spill and keep on trucking.

[SnarkyRC]

Having played this game for thousands of hours I've come to the conclusion that one setup is not better than the other. I use certain setups because I feel like using that setup at the time. Not because one is better or worse. Whichever setup I choose always gets the cargo to the destination.

[gmikay]

My meta is no trailers at all, stack everything on bed or just use Twinsteer. I'm too lazy to carry and sell trailers after completing tasks

[NeedlesKane]

Even though my meta is crane/sideboard bed/ sideboard trailer, I really enjoyed the video. I've grown really fond of the crane/low saddle/ sideboard semi combo recently too.

[Paladwyn]

I don't really buy into the 'meta' idea either. It's whatever you like. I tend to look at what cargo needs to be moved around the map and do vehicle selection so I can minimize future travels. For that I gravitate towards setups that can haul the most cargo. The 3 slot beds with the ramped flatbed seem to be a go-to favourite. 7 cargo slots are pretty handy.

That said, backing up those hitch trailers are a pain and I will use saddle when I can get away with it, they are usually more stable and backing up isn't a chore, usually. Yes, I have used the 8 slot trailer in some less than ideal conditions, not because it was a good idea but because I CAN! Using the Zikz and hauling the super heavy trailer to the north camp in Tennessee was fun and frustrating at the same time. I like to imagine if the people were real and the receiving station saying "He's doing WHAT now?"

I look ahead a lot and make decisions based off leaving trucks and trailers in certain places and maybe need later. If I can haul 7 slots of cargo in, detach and move another 2-3 cargo without the trailer, that speaks a lot as well.

[kodaiyoung]

I found myself preferring to use 2 trucks with flat bead and pulling one of them than using trailers, except for huge cargos. Also, I found myself using less the crane, unless the mission really requires it.

[Papa_Swish]

Another well-constructed video Nathan, keep it up :)

When I was starting out I was obsessed with basically only using trucks that could use a crane, bed and trailer (Bandit, Azov 73210, Voron D, etc), and it really blinded me to some of the other excellent trucks like the Grad and the DAN. Then eventually I realised that almost every low saddle truck was also crane capable, and I've never looked back on using hitch trailers again lol. I'll still use the 2 and 4 slot hitch trailers occasionally for trucks that can handle the pulling weight, but it's almost always a sideboard semi-trailer with a crane for my dedicated haulers.

I should probably experiment a little more though, I've never once used the wide heavy semi-trailer (outside of the Imandra plane mission) or the stepdeck semi-trailer, and I really should. I didn't realise how much ground clearance the wide trailer had until you showed us, now that's looking very appealing.

[XBGameLover]

I always look forward to your trailer reviews and insights on hauling setups! Your expertise shines through in every video. Keep up the great work, and I can't wait to hear your thoughts! 🔥

[GmingWithJJ]

I used the super heavy semi trailer for Wisconsin truck trip task or contract forget what one in phase 3 from 1 map to the other. You need 16 cargo from one spot to another so I took 2 trips mostly highway all the way.

[jessaphillips]

Really wish we could have a hitch trailer that didn’t use a front wheel Dolly. I get why they do it for stability in turns but you should be able to get a 2 or 3 slot hitch trailer without a front dolly.

[cmgtbone]

There have been a few new trailers added since. Will you make a small video to go over them too?

[UnknownUser-wdyf]

Trailer review? I was not expecting that! Nice.

[ZillaBlitz]

I'm relatively new to the game and this was so well explained, really helpful. Thanks so much! :)

[zerbah]

As someone who played all phases 2 times (once in single player and once in co-op), all I can say about trailer configuration is that "it depends" - sometimes the sideboard bed and hitched 4 slot trailer works great, sometimes you want to have a saddle sideboard trailer.
I would agree that sideboard bed and hitched 4 slot has an advantage that your truck is still able to carry cargo if you decide to leave the trailer behind.
One trailer that I would definitely avoid is the Super heavy - although it looks tempting to carry 8 cargo at once, most of the maps in Snowrunner are not designed for its length and it ends up being too long and too low to be worth the efforts.

[oditeomnes]

High saddle wide/heavy trailers seem like a perfect match for P16, aka the flattener of terrain, the destroyer of debris. Seriously though, it is easier to account for width, when your truck is as wide as your trailer.

[levelpaladin]

Looking forward to watching this one. Very little discussion of trailers

[Achonas]

I tried using the superheavy 8 slot for moving drilling equipment in island lake. That did not work out well. struggled to get it out of the trailer shop, managed to get it near the far platform with inf equipment and got stuck on the hill. got it past and then promptly got it pretty much completetly stuck onm that same hill.

[AsiAzzy]

First year of the game was tayga with crane and sideboard saddle trailer. Or the step deck (the step deck cand actually haul 6-7slots of cargo or even more by having them held by the crane. I went full 5slot and two packs of metal beams on top of eachother on the little step. The crane rests on top and the winch is tied to tje bottom one. Pretty stable. Got me where i needed.
The 8slot with kolob and zikz is another favorite for the latest big contracts and the challenge reminds me of the struggle with the big mission trailers. On some maps it is kind of doable to have two kolobs, each with the 8slot trailer.. really a along setup. The turns i take sepperatley with each truck.

If i plan to go only one way (and recover after delivery) i go trailerless with the twinsteer or even two twinsteers tied together. There is a fun ballance to drive the twinsteer in my opinion. It is tippy but you can read the terain to judge if you can make it. Two twinsteers is kind of asking for tipping. And the twinsteer is fast, can submarine itself crossing water, and being so long it usually not gets bogged in the mud pits as the back axle is not into it, and when the back axles reach the mud the front already cleared. And being awd now i use it alot for trailerless delivery.
Another combo i've used is a normal crane and sideboard bed offroad truck and the twinsteer towed. If i flip the twinsteer i have the crane to put it back.
And latlely because of harder maps i go zikz with bed and four slot ramped trailer

And another setup i've went extensivly is the low 10x10 azov that can have crane and bed and trailer or even better 3slot bed and four slot trailer, towing another 4slot trailer sometimes, or the twinsteer . Now that it got active suspension is a lot more usable.

I'm a man and i only need 1 trip for my groceries unpack at home. The same i try to do in snowrunner. Reminds me of the old spintires game where i pretty much only loaded a bunch of unpacked logs with the c255 and delivered all cargo in very few trips. Old habits die hard.

One thing I've found in my own play through is that the hitch trailers are more nimble in tight spaces but less stable. Sometimes that extra bit of flexibility can really make a difference when you're navigating through rocky terrain or twisty paths through trees. You bring up a lot of good points about the saddle trailers though, I should definitely use them more often, especially in terrain with a lot of side-to-side slope. One big drawback that I always run across when I use them though is they don't handle vertical changes very well. I've high-centered too many saddle trailers and just been really frustrated getting them over a big bump in the terrain. Also a drawback that you can't really use your winch on them when they're unattached because they have front anchors instead of wheels really makes rescuing saddle trailers a pain in case something does go wrong.
