Why We Don't Have a Perfect Truck In SnowRunner (2024)

I love making the p12 complete enything. And to love something or someone it has to have a problem so you can say that "despite *insert problem* i love that thing or person". For exemple, despite its weak engine and lack of addons i love making the p12 conquer every mission in the game

Prioritize what you need diversity is key in snow runner

My most enjoyable experience with snowrunner was in early phases up to zikz605R. So you had to tread carefully, getting stuck was possible (using the OG trucks), doing most of amur with tayga/azov was fun. Only late 605r was unlocked, and 605r not having a crane and lots of options for cargo haul was a beast of a rescue truck and helper, but not the hauling cargo truck.. that was azov 7 teritory.
Starting with 5700ts got the start for OP trucks. It had crazy combos in adddons.. at leas was not very capabe (more in azov range than zikz) and terrible fuel consumption, and no extra roof rack... fair enough had plenty downsides. But starting with this truck it kept patching the downsided of some unique og trucks like boar with awd over p16.. then zikz612/kenworth963/femm/atom replaced many of the OG options.
I try to stick to lesser trucks in new seasons and my hardmode run that is not complete yet. Especcially will use least used trucks by me, and avoid the most used ones. now it's also the time to troll around with transtar and CLT.

zikz 612h also has downsides of being very wide, just a tad underpowered (though not that much), and the large chin.
kenworth 963 also has downsides of being absolutely terrible at rock crawling because it has an unfavorable front axle collision model and it gets high centered on rocks. It is also massive and has a wide turning radius so it is even worse at narrow passages than the 612h

People saying the Kenworth is underpowered have no idea how to drive it

I don't like using the best trucks cause I like a challenge... except in Wisconsin. I needed the Ziks for that first map.

I would love a video where you compare yeare 1, 2 and 3 with each other ... positives and neagtives points and which is the best year ^^

for me snowrunner doesen't have a perfect truck because having a perfect truck will reduce the game difficulty and since snowrunner is a game wich brings you to yuor limits that will like decreasing the spirit of the game.
MY idea of a perfect truck: a truck that has the same addons as kenworth 963, has a very powerfull engine like zizk 612h, is stable like cat 745c , has a massive fuel tank like zizk 612h and same consumpion fuel as azov 64131(azov 64131 is one of the best fuel efficent trucks) and it has extra supplies on the roofraccks like ford f750 wich holds the record for the most roofracks.
And for have perfect trucks we can use mods but even my favourite one as a flaw.

I’ve been using some weaker trucks lately like the Fleetstar 2070a and I’ve been having much more fun with the game, trucks like the Zikz 605 and 612 make the game way too easy in most maps.

best SR content creator of all timeeeeeeeeeeee

Unfortunately the mack defense has took kenworths place in my opinion a truck which is way smaller and i never knew it would do that

thats why we have Mods, but playing with mod is again less challenging

Mk2 gtao comparison was really accurate, actually

Why was Expedition abandoned?

in my opinion op trucks like mastodon, kenworth and 605, ruin the game. since their release i find boring to play some not too strong trucks anymore because what is the point in using them? you will spend more time in the mud or snow, or you will tip more often, or your fuel will run out more quickly etc. and to be honest, after kenworth, i lost my excitement in the game. with these strong trucks is like easy mode. you go from A to B.
If saber releases trucks that are good for only one or two things would be better, cause you will have to plan and divide each task, and you would be obligated to use a variety of vehicles

So if I want to deliver more cargo I should pick kenworth 963. If I want to pull heavy cargo I should use zikz 612h?

Honestly i think the best truck in the game is the Azov 73210. It may be slow but ive never found a problem that it couldnt solve. Great range, great stability, great addons and flexibility!

One of my favorite trucks is KRS Bandit. Super capable truck with good adons, but tippy enough you have to be cautious and limited fuel economy makes you be smart about your routes.

Variety is the spice of life. I enjoy all the trucks and challenging them. Without challenge the game is pointless.
If you want OP trucks mods are that way. --->. 😏

Zikz 612h - Maz 7310
Zikz 605r - Maz 537

Agree, every truck has some cons but I think it's better for the game
For the 612, I would say it keep being block by front bumper (same as azov 7) as shown at 6:25
Zick 605 is lacking low saddle to be perfect. For the moment, it can't use the best trailer
FEMM is difficult to handle, I couldn't use it correctly in season 5 don
I find Kenworth not really handy in small area, turning radius is pretty bad

imo 612h is the best truck in the game

I own the zik 605r but due to not having phase 4 I can't access the map it's on

If there was a “perfect” truck you wouldn’t have as much reason to experiment with the huge roster of trucks that are available. The game itself tells you to have a fleet of diff trucks for different roles. Honestly I think a “perfect” truck would make the game boring. There’s always mods I guess if you want something OP.

OP trucks takes the fun away

Well, there is nothing perfect in real world, trucks or otherwise. Mastodon and 605r was designed for specific tasks in real world, same for kenworth or FEMM ... that makes us use other trucks for some other tasks. I love 6900, when I learned to drive it. Yes, no trailer, but 4 slots are more than enough for most tasks. And it is fun to use. Tayga trucks are closest to "do-it-all" truck in game. And if there would be "do it all" one truck - game would lose its fun, in my opinion. And there is mods. There you can get a truck that is so OP that kenworth or FEMM would feel like driveing Escalade in mudpit with slicks 😅

kenworth 963 +++ snowrunner xml editor === perfect truck)
femm very very bed, stability 0

You think Snowrunner did a good job but i think it did a horrible job at it, Mastodon is still way way too good imo specially since it's a paid vehicle which means that's a pay to win thing by itself, as for "balancing" the other vehicles the devs don't know jacksh*t about balancing, they try but fail, let's take FEMM as an exemple, it has many addons and power and good tries and all but the steering makes it worse than a nonuograded highway truck with no diff and AWD, instead of ruining it like that they could limit the addons or tures or ANY f*ckING THING.
The exact same thing goes for any other "a bit too good" vehicle, these devs nerf these vehicles in the worst ways possible.
Yes it is better than the MK2 in GTAO sure, there is atm no "jack of all trades master of all" vehicle i agree but the way they did it is still horrendous, this game has no balance in anything at all, the addons, the trailers and the vehicles are legit all over the place but i guess that's a result of having 10 million paid dlcs and concentrating on making 10 million more rather than improving the game itself.

One bump and femm jack knifes like 50 times per hour or so

Kenworth I think it sucks majorly without a load to give you traction
