Nice work on this one. Loved your narrative of cutting up scrap cars and the history and nostalgia of the good ol 1500, My Pap and Dad both had one. my dads ended up in the junkyard after many years or landscaping and snowplowing abuse. however my cousin still has my Pap’s old 89 two tone white and red 5 speed. Great trucks and great memories made with both. Keep up the great work, I really enjoy your videos

7:26 I’m just speculating but i think this is instructions for a fuel switch or PTO

Use less grippy tires and cap your framerate to 60fps. You will wheel lock with little/no explanation far less frequently and actually be able to move on moderate terrain even with lower p2w ratios. (Unless you already do this, if so sorry :P ) Edit : Sorry, in the P16 the "Low Air Reset" is a switch that shuts off the low air alarm buzzer. If air in the system drops below a certain pressure that flag will drop down/pivot into the drivers view as well as sound a buzzer with whats usually a pretty distinctive tone. To shut off the buzzer you push that flag back up into position, preferably after airing up some but i know some also act as buzzer overrides. COuld also be the more crude flag-only style that the drive would pull down after depressurizing the air system to park the truck for extended periods/overnight or maintenance.

20:57 I think those pieces of rubber are stops for the tops of the hood that look like they flip open on each side.

I believe at some point Saber did nerf the P12, because it used to be nearly unstoppable after being fully upgraded. Hell, it was my go-to hauler in the Kola Peninsula and Imandra, and that was using chained duallies. Which I still cannot fathom why chained tires have less traction than mud tires. But I digress. It's true though; you gotta get modded versions of these trucks for them shine the way they should. I've learned over recent years that almost anything built in Canada is built to last. Another fantastic example is Western Star. Up until 2007 to 2010, I believe, Western Star trucks were exclusively built in Kelowna, BC. With a large portion of their trucks made for off-highway use. And from what I can tell, they are still (despite being built outside of Canada) the preferred trucks for logging.

13:48 not 2, but 4 loads of planks - per log, which means you got 12.

9:15 уou say it's built in mid 70s, but earlier you said it's a 1964 model. How so?

Anyone here after watching Ibelin’s story?

Your channel is so underrated, beautiful work

Great video

I once yelled at a worgen for eating my grandma and my three little piggies. I was a gnome.

Vanilla P12 really is as bad as it seems in the video It's simply too obese for its engine power

I would love a history of Western Star at some point like this one. The 4900 is probably my favorite truck in game as well as real life. The curved sleepers are just so much better looking than all the flat sided sleepers on the road on petes, kws, and freightliners. In game it seems to just work with the only downside being fuel consumption. My personal setup was to put a fuel tanker on it and hook a 4 slot flatbed and usually winch another 4 slot or another truck like the paystar or gmc with its own cargo and 4 slot. There's also quite a history to go through with plenty of mergers and acquisitions.

Yo long form 🔥

Propper video man really enjoyed the history of the trucks and the "air pressure lever" is called a wig wag commonly found on trucks with air (who would have thought) and used to warn the drive that the tanks have low or no air in them.

Well done.

advice for improving your hill abilities, especially with the P12. if you're having tire shudder, downgrade to less grippy tires. and if you cant even climb hills no matter what, reduce your framerate to 60FPS or less, as physics(and to an extent, engine power) is tied to framerate.

Pacific is like a Pierce fire truck super customizable and durable

I swear they have reduced the engine power on the P12 since launch. I used to play P12 as my main truck in 21 and now it seems to bog down in Hills and I can't remember doing that before. and also I have been on a three year break from the game so when I picked it up this last month P12s felt different.

I used the P16 once and withiut knowing any history or anything ironically used it for a medium log haul halfway across the map right at the beginning of my gameplay it performed better than any in game truck ive used dince then and any mod truck ive used since then but a few times it was almost too big for the trails i went on. You did very well on the video it was entertaining and your story telling capabilities kept me hooked throughout.

diesel fuel isnt exactly "explosive" in the way gasoline is. diesel creates a much slower burn, and takes a lot more energy to ignite.

Awesome, you deserve way more attention. Professional editing and a great video! Never seen it in Sweden where I live but I do love me some big trucks!

We have a p16 on the farm they are literally bulletproof, we just use it to ferry grain from the fields to our bins my grandpa bought it back in 1969

27:20 "an 86?!?"

Amazing video man, I remember when I asked if you could do a Pacific retrospective a few months ago and I'm so glad you came through. Also, the longer video format is no big deal! I think it's great when you can spend more time and really go in depth on the history of a truck/manufacturer.

21:02 rubber pads for when you open the hood

I hope for a Pacific P12W3 Ultra mod for SnowRunner. Or maybe even an official version?

Ah, this was fantastic. Every time I watch your videos, I have the immediate urge to fire up SnowRunner and take the truck(s) you're reviewing out for a spin. I have no additional information to share on Pacific's history, but I can summarise my experience with the three Pacific trucks we have in game. (My credentials: over 2,300 hours in SnowRunner; completed all 13 seasons plus 98% of Austria in my first playthrough; completed all 12 seasons in my second playthrough). P16: my experience with this beast is slightly different than yours, in that it has never really let me down. Any dire situation I found myself with the P16 was entirely caused either by rookie mistakes on my part when I was a novice player, or just plain bad decisions. But I've never found this truck to be or feel underpowered, and the times I was utterly stuck with it, I can count them on the fingers of one hand. Given the lack of addons, I have obviously used the P16 for hauling long logs and heavy semitrailers. Are there better trucks coming up in later seasons/DLCs? Yes, but I still like to take the P16 out of the garage. A lot of players swear by the BOAR 45318 (sort of Russian P16/P12 equivalent), and while it's indeed a good heavy truck, I prefer the P16 over it. P12: my experience with this truck has been exactly like yours. A huge disappointment. I remember saving up and selling trailers to buy the P12, only to sell it shortly afterwards after giving it a second, third, fourth, fifth chance. Basically, after trying every possible engine-gearbox combination to see if I was doing something wrong and there was maybe a 'sweet spot' to maximise power - but no. The P12 feels anemic and gutless. Sure, you can 'help' it by trying various tricks to have it go up moderate inclines and pull that cargo, but the truth is, you shouldn't have to. This is a truck - and I'm thinking about its real-life counterpart - that oughtn't to need help to perform. It should be a 'point and shoot' truck like the Kolobs, the big ZiKZs, or the Kenworth 963. Another truck that has felt disappointing in a similar way is the Derry Longhorn 4520, another truck whose performance was mysteriously nerfed by Saber. My P12 is currently relegated to the minor, more static role of heavy-crane truck and support truck. When it comes to P12 mods, there is actually a P12-W 'Roughneck' that was recommended to me, but I still haven't had the time to check it out. If you look for it on mod·io, you should find it right away (despite the poor Search feature on that site). It's from modder 'fugu72'. P512 PF: It's probably the Pacific I have the most fun taking out for a mission. Of the three, it's the one that feels more ebullient and responsive. I use for a variety of purposes: hauling cargo/logs, support truck, crane truck… My sole complaint is that it has a really small fuel tank for the truck that it is. 300L would feel more realistic than 200. It's also a pity that, ever since I got the Kenworth W990 DLC, this truck has overshadowed the P512 PF and now I tend to use the Kenworth more. But I still have fun with the P512 PF every now and then. Keep up the good work, as I keep spreading the word about your channel! ;-)

I see that you´ve downloaded the trailer pack I suggested, glad to see that :) It makes the game much better in terms of options what to use on delivering logs/cargo. Thanks for the very educational video. Keep up the good work. Greetings from Slovakia.

This is an incredibly interesting video with lots of cool information. Thank you for putting it into this format for us!

Amazing video man, I haven't seen a video that disscussed this in depth about the specific truck models Pacific made. Especially the P500s, I still never got why the P512PS exsts if there are the regular P12s. 20:57 seem to be bump stops/rests for the hood flaps to be open without scratching the paint since its a butterfly hood. You can see the hinges that run down the hood right below them. 21:14 is called a wig wag. It's just a safety device that would drop down when the brake pressure gets too low. If the pressure is optimal it stays up like in the game model. Saber really did the P12 dirty. I really wanted to love it but it was just too underpowered to be used as a heavy service/wrecker rig, even if it can mount the rare large service add on. Can't wait to see more vids form you, the dedication you put into researching the history of the models is amazing. I hope you would eventually talk about the WWS or maybe even the 6900 twinsteer.

In terms of making the P12 capable of holding it's own against DLC trucks such as the Tayga B, I would recommend using the mod 'MrBusses P12 Orca', installing an A- engine and it's custom allterrain roughneck tyres in a larger 70'' size, but keeping everything else stock on that mod. This turns the P12 into a faster, more competitive, but not overpowered truck more comparable to the roughneck version, capable of carrying a wide oilfield-like 3-slot zikz flatbed when paired with the mod 'Color Sideboard Addons'.

The Pacifics are some of my favourite trucks in the game, not only because of how capable they are, but because of the whole mythos surrounding the company as a whole. In terms of these 3 trucks specificly, the P12 is my least favourite of the three. There`s an aesthetic element to that preference (the P512 and P16 just look super cool to me), but I find myself getting stuck with it more than I`d expect compared to the other 2, considering it`s the only one of the trio with AWD, and it does not do well with the extra weight of a trailer. I really don`t use this truck a whole lot, because it feels weaker than it should As for the other 2 though, the p512 is surprisingly capable given it`s lack of AWD, and the only reason I don`t use it much is because of the small fuel tank. I personally like to use it mainly for logging, with the log addon and logging trailer. With enough weight over it`s rear axles, this thing is a beast The P16 on the other hand, is probably the heavy hauler I use the most, as far as american trucks go (I like to use region appropriate trucks when I`m on any given map), and I find the P16 to be the most rewarding, and to be among the most capable american trucks for heavy hauling, despite the lack of AWD, even in muddy and rocky terrain, where it should struggle way more than it does. In all honesty, the biggest issue with the P16 (and the P12) is that it feels underpowered (as in lacking horsepower), meaning the biggest obstacle to a Pacific (other than the P512, that one`s got plenty of muscle) isn`t deep mud, but a steep incline. It needs to stick to the beaten path for obvious reasons, but it really has never let me down, though it might have something to do with the fact I always study the map before commiting to a route with it (or really any other big heavy truck)

Devs have done all the Pacific trucks dirty

Pacific, some good stuff from Canada

Gay as fuck

It would be very nice to konw what gear and weapons are fround upon and not

I only drive US trucks on the Wisconsin map and use US trucks Addon and trailers mod, it's a very fun role-playing experience!

"…No big moment to cap it off. The map just kind of…ends." Kola's big mission and Amur's rocket launch are the exceptions rather than the rule with regard to 'region finales'. At least here we have the brief animation of the train leaving the station with its loads of logs. A lot of other regions - spoiler alert - end with a whimper more than a bang. I was particularly let down by Don and Scandinavia. _More spoilers ahead._ Don, because even if the two big tasks are repairing train tracks and the Tatra factory, once you do them and the infrastructure is supposedly restored and the factory rebuilt… nothing happens. The factory's premises even remain littered and chaotic as they were at the beginning. It's all quite underwhelming. You feel as if your efforts to make this desolate place better had no actual impact. Scandinavia because here the big thing is supposedly about the making of a movie, but again, once all movie-related deliveries are through, there's no animation, or celebration. The movie is the pretext to revitalise the small city of Orestoke, but yet again, when all is done, it all feels just like another Tuesday. And I loved Ontario, but still, no satisfactory ending here either. The main theme of the region is you helping the firefighters deal with fires that have plagued the area. At the end of the water-based missions, you guessed it, nothing happens. You've transported thousands of litres of water across two maps, and there isn't even a change in the landscape or atmosphere. These things don't really make me mad. I've put almost 2,200 hours in SnowRunner - I enjoy the journey, and am happy to see "100%" after completing a region. And I do recommend playing all the 'seasons'. But it wouldn't cost Saber much to add some little closing scene or design a particularly epic final mission for more than just a couple of regions. It's a 'feel good' moment that would make many players happy after a lot of frustrating work. As for the Pacific P512 PF: I love this truck. I treat it like a lot of other trucks in my fleet. Meaning it doesn't have a specific role. I like logging with it, but also hauling cargo around, with an eye to its small fuel tank. It's strong and can be fast, and I don't mind using it for short-range deliveries. Lately however I admit I'm using the Kenworth W990 more. It's as capable and enjoyable than the P512 PF, even stronger, and with a longer range. Cheers, and keep up the good work like you're doing!

Im doing Wisconsinin with friends who are playing for the first time its funny and a really nice region the water crossings are frustrating but i like it so far my fav part is that i gave them things like the 963 and 612h and they strugle with those sometimes one of them flipped the 612h somehow. I run the small trucks 4x4 mostly the acteon and warthog and the 6x6 pike i love the pike and i dont use the pacific

The Paystar TS is one of the few trucks that can equip the 2800L fuel tanker, which makes it valuable in Hard Mode for maps that have expensive fuel. If a map has fuel that costs more than $4/L, it's cheaper to just transfer the TS to Michigan, buy fuel for $2/L and transfer it back. Additionally, the Glades has a contract which unlocks a free refueling point even in Hard Mode, so after that point it becomes cheaper to transfer the TS to the Glades when playing on any map where fuel is more than $2/L.
