I do remember one other trick not a lot of people know about, when in automatic mode if you tap the gear select button quickly as if you were bringing up your gear stick you can actually Force the automatic transmission to either shift up or shift down to either accelerate quicker in an open straight, or if your encountering mud have the transmission downshift before it stalls out and goes back to first gear

One big tip is in the settings change steering from controller to wheel. When its in wheel mode, when you let go of the joystick, the steering wheel will recenter just like every other game with a car. When you leave it as controller, you need to recenter the steering wheel, the driving is the same as the original grand theft auto 2d game.

What if I’m OCD and don’t like having 6 trucks dotted around every map. I only use 2 trucks and 2 scouts and when not using them, they’re in storage. I know it takes much longer, but it makes me feel better

Tricks I use:
When crashed, sunk or tipped over, i quit the game and reload since last autosave. Thats faster than trying to recover.
Infinite cargo- if you need wooden planks for example and somewhere on the map is a task where you are given a trailer with wooden planks that need to be delivered somewhere, id accept the task, take the planks off the trailer, reset the task and new trailer with planks will appear.

Sticking to the side is kind of a double-edge sword as you probably will avoid rough terrain, however you might also flip because the side isn't flat enough.

Go to EVERY OLD MAP and hunt down EVERY trailer you ever left everywhere when yoy have monstrous trucks late game. I recovered about 400, 000 in trailers from all my old DLC maps 😆. And its fun to revisit old maps with a reason in mind. Just a tip from a Snowrunner fan 👌

I figured out a lot of these on my own (trees as anchors, road trains, using the crane to get unstuck, etc), but wow this video would have been convenient when the game first came out. Excellent stuff!

[chistoprosto]

Your observations on cargo weight are correct. There is a chart that shows the difference in weight for all cargo types as per game config files - even the heaviest of loads are not more than 2 tons when unpacked. For example long logs are 0, 8t vs 12 t when packed! Oil rig is 2t vs 10 t unpacked!

Another one - bind the numerical keypad keys 12456789 to your gears, where 5 is Automatic, 6 is Neutral, 4 (with 1 and 7) are Low gears, 8 - High gear and 2 - Reverse.

Using a tree for leverage for a small truck to lift a larger truck is a great idea. I've been playing for a while and I'm sorry I didn't think about it sooner!

[dolaski]

For hauling lots of logs in one trip, put all of them unpacked in the trailer/addon, remove them until you have 3 (the ammount required for packing) with the crane, pack, deliver, put 3 more back in with the crane, rinse and repeat. I've delivered 6 packs of medium logs with a single simple medium logs addon. Be careful though, you GOT to drive smoothly so they don't fall from the back of the addon. Sides and front are okay.

New player here! @ 9:08 "Use your crane to help you get unstuck. This trick could really help you one day." -- CAN CONFIRM! LOL. I just had to do that to get out of a nasty mud trap in "Drowned Lands". Literally would have been 100% completely impossible to self-recover my International HX520 without it. Watched this video when I was just starting out, and have had these tips in mind as I explored.

Additional to the crane, I had the Articulated Towing Platform equipped and used it similarly to angle and dig in to push my truck forward a little while bracing with the crane in another spot. Great advice, thanks! 😄

[humphreybogart]

Great tips. For the road trains, when you come across a tight corner or don't have the power to pull it up, if your train looks like the one in the video where it's 2 trucks with 2 trailers each, you break your train and try to do each truck with it's 2 trailers, if that fails then do each truck with 1 trailer and drop your trailer, reverse back and get the second one. Depending how narrow the area is you might have to take the trailers further before you drop them but this is still a lot faster than doing 2 trips since most of the time the distance is very far.

Also if you do 2 trips you might still take a second vehicle with you to use as an anchor point in some sections where it's super muddy.

At start if you have Season 1 pass, you have decent trucks already in first garage- International HX 520 or that KRS 58 Bandit. Bandit can be used as piggy bank if you dont like its fuel tank and better choice in my opinion is Paystar 5070 which is unlocked from level 0, 6x6 from beggining and diff lock capable. Options for attachments are nice-almost every thing which you need at first 2-3 maps. Even it can get crane+bed+trailer combo. This all for ~75K $

Just started playing. I proudly got across the “wooden bridge” river with my stock fleetstar. I had the crane, and dragged/pushed myself across the mud river the whole way. Also, I recovered 2 big trucks in the mud with my little Chevy scout truck.

11:33 - unpacked cargo has less weight for cranes )

You can also unpack logs - you'll get much less weight and only 3 trees inside. And you can load like 15-21 trees in cargo trailer and the pack them by 3 at destination - that equals to 5-7 usual runs.

[TheKhopesh]

Another trick if youre stuck in mud or whathaveyou and have a small crane on your truck.
You can extend the crane out in the needed direction and winch trees a considerable distance outside your normal winch range thanks to the winch point on the tip of the crane.

This pretty much doubles your winch range.

Coupled with the extended winch, it has a ridiculous reach.

[gabrielgolding]

The overloading trick blew my mind. I’m definitely doing that from now on.

[freequest]

Another one is if your using the controller and you see your truck tipping. Double tap Y. The direction you are looking will be the direction you will put out a winch rope Very handy at times and also pays to be aware of winch points in difficult terrain.

Also, when in the cab of your truck, you can go through swamps this was as well. The winch line will shoot out the direction you are looking, allowing you to quickly travel to places like that.

[GadgeteerZA]

Brilliant. Yes I've stacked cargo on top but always lengthwise. I just never thought of doing it sidways.
