8 Trucks That Are Being Held Back By Some Minor Flaws | SnowRunner

[danielsilverman]

Some manufacturers are strict on what you can do with a truck. Kenworth for example will not allow Saber to add AWD. They consider it false advertising. I wouldn't be surprised if that's why the International HX 520 doesn't have raised suspension.
Two trucks I've wanted to see buffed have been the Freightliner M916A1 and Azov 5319. 200L fuel tank is not enough, I give them a 260L fuel tank.
Given the power creep in the game I'd say you could give both Ank's a 270L fuel tank like the Voron D.

Great points as always and well thought-out suggestions for rebalance. I feel dead axes need to be rethought from scratch mechanically - e.g. dead axle spreads load and enables better ground travel by a dramatic margin, or else gives a simple large fuel economy bonus (when down) at the expense of the trapping you often see. That gives players a reason to use it on a situational reason, and weigh up the cost/advantages.

Similarly, I feel that just tweaking fuel amount/economy to make the trucks more or less the same dilutes any originality of the vehicles. I'd prefer it if they kept high fuel use, but instead gave the truck far better performance, e.g. mud clearing, centre of gravity, GVM loading, traction or wheel/axle size. Players can then choose high-performance but thirsty trucks if they want to roar though, a bit like a bigger version of ANK38.

Sprinter def needs a 'long range/support' conversion to make it any use at all outside racing. Look at the back of it - you could fit so much fuel, tools and spares in there. Adding a hitch would give this so much more utility.

Talking flaws, it's criminal that Caterpillar 745C does not also have long bed option, or _something_ to make it stand out (asides from mud/snow travel) as a use case. At least throw on a tow hitch and some tyre chains. I believe it made your 'most worthless truck' list along with Sprinter because there's nothing they do that another truck does not do better, faster and easier.

For me the Azov 5319 also needs a bigger fuel tank or roof rack. The Royal BM17 also needs a diff lock. it gets stuck in areas that other trucks don't because of no diff lock.

[diprosla]

Azov sprinter should have following changes: to its addon should include 2x spare tyres, 300 spare parts, 300L of fuel + being able to tow a scout or truck trailers

Good thing is that those things are easily tweaked by anyone. Just use WinRAR and notepad and you can tweak many of the values you mentioned. Some are really simple like changing a numbuer if you want bigger fuel tank or stronger engine but addons require more more as you need to also figure out where they should be attached and specify exact position. But if you just want to tweak values or parametrs, it is very simple. I have already added AWD to P16 and want to add snow tires as well. P12 with long bed is good idea.

I really love GMC900MH. It is not only a biginer truck... Wit difflock and AWD GMC is a real work horse 🐴

[collinkaufman]

With the Boar awd drinks all the fuel so you need to use it like the P16 but with the extra of awd when needed

[FunkyBaconArts]

P12 with a bigger engine would be pretty sweet. I'm fine with the addons it have, it just lacks power.

One truck you forgot to mention is the Burlak 6x6. The Burlak 6x6 just needs a A to S+ engine, at the moment it cannot pull any heavy cargo by itself. It just feels like it struggles, it’s an ok off-roader but it works great in Immandra especially in ice patches. The tires it has I wish they were available on other trucks that don’t have chained tires. I love studded tires. It can pull empty scout trailers, but when it comes to the heavy type pull trailers. It literally struggles, I love the idea of a truck scout in the scout class itself. The crane is literally useless, you can maybe haul one slot of planks. To get it going like to make it feel like it has actual speed in deep snow or muddy terrain, low+ with diff lock on will it make it feel a little bit fast. I know this video is mainly for discussion, but the developers really need to fix this issue. Not just release it & see if it’s allowed to be modded or not. The roof rack idea for any truck is great & just give awd to the highway trucks. Give us the option to have diff lock on or always on. One thing I want is the look of the truck to be clean, I don’t want dirty windshields or scratched up & faded paint. Just a nice clean shiny paint job.

A lot of these trucks were simply powercrept by newer trucks. Big ass mudtires with huge fuel tanks and supplies (Mastodon, Kenworth, FEMM), they really change the dynamic of the game. It feels weird going back to normal sized truck tires after using unstoppable trucks like those. Sure, they have their downsides, but 3-4 slot beds and 70" tires compensate for them.

Things I would like to see:

Pacific P16 - Snow Chains - I love this truck, but can only really use it in non-snowy/icy maps because without AWD or Chains it can be bought to a halt on icy tarmac. Realistically you'd be able to put chains over those tires in real life, so why not here!

Ford F750 - The Ability to pull Scout Trailers - I would gladly even trade off the ability to pull large trailers for the ability to pull scouting trailers with the F750. The F750 would be so much more useful as a scout, and could even be the ultimate scout, if it could use things like the Prototype Radar Trailer. It's a shame to have to leave a great scout truck at home because it can't tow a scout trailer, especially when we now have another trucks with the ability to pull both!

Kenworth W990 is good imho, better than all starter trucks you encounter on michigan map, also fuel efficient, big gas tank and it's the only vehicle you can buy in michigan when doing hardmode that has log loader + low saddle combination, so u can just load up a semitrailer with logs without an additional vehicle. The third axle... you either love it or hate it, it has helped me get out of stuck situations and sometimes its good for balance

[arrgorndenethor]

The Ford CL9000 needs a locking rear Diff, its a neat truck but would like to have more use out of it, and def agree one some of the trucks needing a larger fuel tanks, like the P512

[Mikyramatrucksleggends]

i really wish that they add a bigger fuel tank for paystar ts because that truck is soo good and with the better fuel tank will be ultimate truck

[Fireful]

They should let us customize trucks hpwever we want as long as we have money and its compatible. Like bigger gas tanks or using the tool boxes

[cmgtbone]

Welp I heard that the dairy debuted with the dead axle down with no options to raise it so I'm glad all dead axle trucks at least have the option to put it up or down. Sometimes it helps with stability on non level roads.

[jessaphillips]

I just wish we could have the advanced special gearbox on the Paystar 5600ts. I feel like it was supposed to get special gearboxes earlier but they decided to switch the gearbox options later in development to nerf it

[ThaCyNiQ]

Is there any way to make the driving on a normal road feel realistic? Because it feels like you are driving a 5hp boat on flats 😂

[rennscott]

Im surprised you don't like the 990. I thought it was pretty op in my yukon play. worked everywhere for me except the two flooded routes.

[daviddavidson]

I think there are mods for powered lift axles.
Not sure if they exist IRL, though from a mechanical standpoint, they absolutely could exist, just have the axle differential drop down onto a gear on the drive shaft.

Someone who knows more about trucks can probably tell me if they do exist, or why they don't.
