the twinsteer is my favorite truck just for its sheer 'idgaf' approach to offroading and getting over terrain. mud, snow, river crossings or even just exploring, it doesnt matter. aside from being too rigid for its own good and tipping over i use it whenever i can.
I agree it has that 'idgaf' and I think the people who use it, generally do with the same 'idgaf' attitude! I'm honestly learning to really hone my skills with the Twinsteer on Yukon, it's a beast if you can learn how to not tip it as often. Moves cargo really well, and just goes through any terrain really. It's a beast.
Very accurate tier list, but I think Antarctic is fitting in the back of the A tier. Because it dominates almost all flat deep areas and it is not afraid of water compared to CAT
twin steer really got shafted by the devs, it should have a toggleable low saddle on the rear allowing for 2 cargo + saddle. It also should be able to tow trailers.
From all heavy trucks i used my personal #1 is with no doubt CAT 745G. Very stable,has a super winch and great engine and special gearbox,it is a 1st class beast to carry medium logs. I don't have all of those trucks because i only have Kola DLC. Maybe DAN,Azov or Zikz i saw here can have better but i will know if i try.
Thank you for these videos. I am looking forward to the scout list! I appreciate you talking about what makes the trucks unique, their strengths and weaknesses.
Shon thank you!! I’m glad you enjoyed it. I apologize man, I doubt I will make one for the scouts. They really aren’t a big part of the game and a lot of them most people would never play. There are a few standouts among them, but the game seems more focused around moving cargo with larger/ medium trucks. Let me look into it further and see if I can whip something up
@@NProvinceohohoho, about half of my first 350km (so far) has been just having silly, silly fun offroading with scouts. I do the jobs to get the levels for tires. Love just going out for a rip, bud.
@nprovince Nice! Working through the catalog now, as I recover the piles of empty, broken and bogged down trucks I've abandoned in the drowned lands, thinking of doing some exploring for camping spots in Alaska. (Glamper van Lo4fing)
Love these videos man! Hope you will make a updated version when season 8 drops! And as always I love your channel. You have made me use more trucks that I wouldn’t have though about using before, so thank you 🙏. And this is like the 10th time I watch these tier list videos, just because I love them so much! So I hope you make new updated versions on these after season 8!
Thank you Ghost! I’m glad they have been helpful. I’m not sure how much I will update them, but I think there might be a time I do update this tier list perhaps. Excited for Season 8!
The highway/ heavy duty one was pretty fair tbh. And your review of the international transtar made me rethink the truck it mitered up the black river log station hill in high range with the highway gearbox, fully loaded with long logs. I was very impressed
You forgot to mention the Western Star 6900 can "float". With the way the thing is weighted the cabin is the only thing that remains above the water while the rear wheel due to how long it is stays planted on the river bed. Used that truck many times to just bypass wrecked bridges and get into spots not intended by the game devs. Example being the islands on Alaska.
This tier list series has been really helpful, especially since I've collected about 30 of them. I'm going to buy all the trucks you've ranked S-B, and then dial it down to the ones I really like. I agree with most of these, with the exception of the Kolobs and Derry Longhorns. I haven't used them, so I don't really have an opinion on them.
I’m really glad you have found them useful. If you want better detail, and also some footage to showcase how they perform, check out my reviews on them. I do have to say, a lot of the lower tier trucks are really good as well
Good list and I mostly agree. One thing I'd like to point out is that the P16 and Long nose Kolob can be had very early in the game, and are very capable even before any upgrades. Thus they make good support vehicles for new players. The Other Kolob was a lifesaver for me in the white hell of Urska river unlocking the gateway, as was the 745C. I think the P12 is pretty underpowered (which doesn't make sense since the weight and engine are shared with the P16), and both Derrys struggle a fair bit with the high range gearbox with the 4520 still having both middle axles lock up if the suspension is compressed. The offroad gearbox may help with this.
Ya the Long Nose and the P16 would be really good early game for sure. Ya the P12 is underpowered and some of those trucks do have their issues as you said. I do like the highrange, but mostly I'll use the offroad just for slower gameplay lol
I like how you managed to give analytical ordering of these trucks, may be I have another point of view ordering them, but your effort is just perfect and I like your channel alot
I’m really glad you enjoyed it and that you like the channel as well. Thank you for that critique. :) I did expect people to have different orders because we all have different experiences with the game.
I find the Azov Antarctic with the Cat 745C the "save the day" duo in Kola Peninsula. Both laugh in the face of deep snow, mud. Break through thin ice with ease. For 4 slots of cargo, 2+2 on the Azov is convenient. Long trailers including semi trailers are a PITA to deal with on tight routes. Koblob is rather limited in utility, I would rank it below the Azov. Also for semi trailers, Derry longhorn 4520 is my favorite for turning radius alone. My previous favorite for semi trailers was M916A1 also for turning radius.
I think the DAN is still a better crane than the P12, the latter just doesn't have enough offroad prowess to my liking - even with the strongest engine it feels like it never has enough power and it also drinks through the tank quite fast
Thats a good point, The DAN really is a hidden gem. With the Active suspension it for sure makes an amazing crane truck. The P12 for sure is underpowered, but I definitely love its height advantage for the outriggers and it does a good job while keeping in mind all your points. Good Comment!
aramatsu and P12 are unbeatable or atleast hard to beat as logging trucks. aramatsu haul 3-4 times logs (unpacked) while other can haul packed logs, but it takes many more trips. meanwhile azov ''chin wagon'' 73210 can do same as p12, but only if you got active suspension upgrade
Funny you say you was super impressed with the OHD on the Boar. I switched back and forth between UOD and OHD a few times now and I don't find that the Boar performs any better at all. Which btw you aren't wrong, the OHD is a heavier tire. But what is it, something like 600kg compared to 3-400kg for the UOD (sorry if I remember that wrong). In a game where vehicles need a weight difference in the tons to start to feel any kind of significant difference, I just don't think the OHD little bit of extra really matters that much. Then again maybe the difference would be felt more on lighter trucks. The Boar is already such a big heavy truck just on it's own that it probably doesn't matter which tire you use. But yea UOD being classed as the American tire in game never made sense to me. I mean look at UOD II, a V thread offroad mud tire. I live in Canada, we use American trucks up here, I never in my live seen a real American truck driving around with a UOD II type tire. And even back on MudRunner, it was always the Russian trucks that had the UOD II tire while the American trucks had the more American looking highway/OHD type tire. So why in the blue hell is UOD the standard American truck tire in SnowRunner? It makes no sense. lol. The UOD should be the standard Russian truck tire if anything.
Man I love these tier ranked vehicle videos you made. You never did one on the scouts I think? Would be interesting to see that as well. Or after Season 8 releases do updated ranking videos since we got some new vehicles added, some gameplay updates and perhaps your perception on the trucks evolved as well.
Thank you! Ya I’m actually waiting for the new Rezvanni scout to come out and then I’ll do a 6x6 and 8x8 scouts review then a tier list of course. Coming soon!
@@NProvince Great to hear! Can’t wait to see it! And absolutely love your channel, new subscriber since yesterday (also the day I restarted playing Snowrunner after almost 2 years absence 😅)
I would say that even with the changes they did to the Azov 73210 nose it still desperatly needs that active suspension to be reliable. Its powerful no doubt about that but without that suspension upgrade it still faceplants when u hit a bump so if u wanna use that truck then look up where that upgrade is and head straight for it first or u will tear your hair out everytime it gets just a little bumpy.
That was awesome! I enjoyed it very much and for the most part I agree with your ranking. For me the Derry trucks would be a little lower in ranking, even with all the latest and greatest upgrades they received I find that driving these two Derry trucks is simply too frustrating.🤘😬🤘
Thanks man, I was just searching for a tier list, I only found a french one, and it was not so in-depth. Was really helpful but now you got me wondering about the tires haha Do you have a Tire explanation video? I dont understand the difference between HDM, ATMD OHD, OHS, MSH etc etc etc. And hopefully you get better soon man :)
You're welcome! Oh ok this is hard to explain on a comment. In short there are Highway (UHD), Allterrain (ATMD), Offroad (UOD) or (OHD), or (OHS)then Mud tires (MSH) or (MHS). That list is basically worst grip to best, however some offroad tires have been doing really well and I am working on a video about traveling through mud and the effects of weight on certain tires. If I go live on twitch anytime soon, I would be happy to elaborate. I hope that helped :)
I bought Azov Antarctic, not so long before I found out about your channel here on youtube. How much money and time I would have saved :D. And yeah - a lot of nerves, because that truck is "C" and only because you want to be nice to him :D btw great video as usual and thx for all your work ;-) edit: Just one thing though: Truck without diff lock, huge fuel consumption and limited variability is a B+? wow :) Like you said, we don't have to agree on everything so totally agree with DAN 96320 but I'm surprised with Navistar 5000 :D
Thank you for those kind words. I think the Navistar is really capable despite not having Diff and bad consumption. This could be a Bias of mine, but I've had alot of success with it and the DAN...I just love that thing L)
Love the content, been going through some of your videos trying to decide if the navistar can still be used with success in later games, it looks really fun to drive :)
Navi is a blast to use. If you havent checked outt he review on the channel, it might help your decision. I really think its a good truck, just needs some support for fuel
@@NProvince love it, also it’s really nice that you reply to comments on older videos. Keep up the great work and hopefully I can catch a twitch stream ❤️
Don't worry, I came here to hear somebody else's opinion, not my own. You explain your thoughts well, so I can understand, even if my own opinions differ. Great vids, btw.
Talking about heavy class vehicles, what vehicle did you use for Titan awakening, what truck did you use for pulling the pump trailer from the park back to the warehouse? And what did you use for the drill in North port, Alaska from the site south of the garage to the port? Do you think the military Derry Longhorn could pull both scenarios?
I believe the Derry could pull that trailer in North Port. That huge mud strip will require winching, but ya most large mission trailer journeys do. For titan awakening, I would use a heavy truck with a very high sitting high saddle. I attempted this with the Tatra Phoenix and from its lacking frame height being an issue, I swapped it out for a higher sitting truck. A KOLOB, Zikz605R or another larger truck would be a good fit just because the added frame height will help mitigate getting snagged. Also bring a support fuel truck. Hope that helps! :)
I absolutely hate using the P12 with a heavy crane, I once leaned on it as my on-site recovery vehicle, and that thing just kept tipping over. When the the roads are slanted it just wants to fall over.
No uh worry on the uh's. It really is a letdown for me on the p12, love the look of it but power is an issue. I have grown to love the 5600. I usually just run it with the fuel on back and hitch trailer. Could type more but won't. Great job as always get well.
Thanks man! The P12 is great and I love it, but it just needs more power. Great support vehicle. I bought it on hardmode actually. Oh the 5600 is a monster! That huge fuel addon makes it nice
Another great list. I agree with you again except for the Kolobs. I don't like those trucks as much as you. I do agree that they are strong though. The twinsteer has an amazing high gear and that truck flies. I also played snowrunner only for over a year. I bought my PS4 specifically for this game and put in some major hours of play time for working a full time job. I am really enjoying your snowrunner videos ty.
Thank you. I have update tier lists on the channel as well if you’d like to check those out. Those are covering all vehicles up to season 12. The next tier list I make will be when the year 4 pass concludes
@@NProvince I'll definitely be checking those out thanks. When I get burnt out on the game I watch videos about it so I'll probably at least check out all your snowrunner videos eventually. I haven't found very many creators that make videos about this game that I actually enjoy. I appreciate your work making the videos and also for the replies to my comments. If I like a video I always find something to comment about even if it's just to say thank you.
thanks for the good overview. Fully agree on Kolobs and Azov 7, and many other points. Though I don't agree on the trucks you put high that don't have diff lock or awd (like Pacific p16. p512, navistar etc.). these 2 aboslutely essential for any case. while putting so low Azov arctic. those things are controversial. On top IMHO in majority of cases High transmission, high wheels are more important than the pure Power to weight. anyway tha's only our opinions. so like for the video
@@NProvince Yeah I just figured that was going to be your joke @ the end since I noticed you were scrolled down a bit. Anyway great videos, appreciate your analytical approach.
A lot of people tell me I sound very calm lol. Oh and there is an updated video for this which is linked in the video’s descriptions covering all Year 1 & 2
My main question is which one is the fastest heavy truck. Heavy trucks are so slow and I need them early game as I have too many issues early game with not well equipped trucks, and slow trucks. So, right now, I have access to mud tires, so speed is the most important right now for me.
Can i improve you with Tatras? "They are maded in Czech Republik in city Kopřivnice" For their chassis, Tatras are very popular all over the world. SO pure CZ vehicle no UA/CZ :) bud i have to be positive.. Good videos Nathan , go on... :) PS:Sorry for mistakes i´m not an English professor :)
Yes indeed the Tatras are amazin IRL and they are very good in game. I rated these as fair as possible despite themhaving balance issues with a crane. I do felt I rated them alot better than some of my peers & or alot of other players
Yes I know some may say the kolobs are not good because of addons but honestly I have a video of me taking a 5-8 slot trailer up a almost vertical mountain and it had little to no trouble at all
What I hate about the Antarctic is that it supposed to have a lot of potential, but it just fails. Big wheels, but slips on ice, has a big cabin on it and it doesnt count as anything, at least there should be 150-200 repair points in there. And it would be good if they increase the width between tires, so it wouldnt tip over so damn much.
It really is very strong, but that one weakness is tough to go over. Those ideas are also something that would be cool. Perhaps having an option in that cab for more supplies or morefuel etc.
Funny thing about the CAT is that even on the Yukon mission I just connected it to the trailer and then dragged it along with another truck. Then I sold it lel
I think the Antarctic would be the only truck getting a separate category for me. 100% E. Worst vehicle in the game, the only thing you can do with it is pulling long logs
I just found your channel. Great reviews. Great content. Very well thought out and presented. I've been binge watching a whole lot of them....even the livestream gameplay clips. And.... it's great to hear an American who is happy use metric measurements as well as the old system. Thanks from a new subscriber. 👍
Heres my latest Tier List for all Y1 &Yr2 Heavy trucks. ruclips.net/video/TdfMeQEnIso/видео.htmlsi=yYTyNWtPnrZI7PfM However I have not made a new tier list due to waiting for Season 12. The Kenworth is essentially an S tier vehicle
I actually was really disappointed with the 49x. I pulled it out on Maine and it was just dreadful, couldn't get through anything without stopping dead or tipping over. It was so bad, I just sold it and never thought about it again. Also unpopular opinion, I've never used the Azov 7 on my hard mode play through, I always hated the low front colliding (on my easy mode game) and never used it. I don't miss it and I'll platinum hard mode without ever using it on that play through.
Thanks so much for this, found it really useful. There is one question I still have though. What is the highest ranking truck that can use a loader crane & low saddle. Your reviews switched me on to that play style & I really love it, but I am struggling to find the best truck for it.
You're welcome! Im glad you wanna use the Low saddle! So thats a tricky question. Most offroad, or heavy duty trucks can have it. Some Heavy class trucks can as well. I would try using the vorons or the Taygas with those and see if you like it. I honestly have been using C- B trucks alot more with this set-up and I just find it enjoyable and challenging :)
Also I wouldn't give any articulated trucks an S - because its a significant detriment to maneuverability, bad for stability and is very prone to terrible snagging on the poles and trees where you can easily be trapped to a point needing a rescue by another truck.
While articulation can be tough for maunevering as you mentioned, its not bad for balance. The articulation actually has allowed for angles to be created to prevent tipping over and also the CAT745C is one of the most stable trucks in this game because of its articulation alowing for individual parts of the vehicle to flex and the other to stabilize while traversing through bumpy terrain. The front end articulation will actually twist and the aft end of the vehicle will not be affected.
@@NProvince true, but its kinda double edged, I've driven Antarctic for a while in the Kola and occasionally found situations where you need to turn a certain angle while leaning and it brings you almost off-balance, probably less an issue with the CAT. It just brings this extra element to an equation where you are manipulating your center of gravity at the same time as you are turning, which is not desirable some of the time.
Another thing not so great about the CAT is that it's suspension is extremely rigid with very little vertical space and movement. The 3d-flexible joint is fixing this to a degree, but its still not a good quality for something that goes off-road at a distance.
I have a more current tier list on my page that has the year 1 and year 2 vehicles. Pertaining to the kenworth that’s in year 3. I’ll be making a video when season 12 comes out. The Kenny I believe is S tier for sure
thought about doing the derry trucks but kind wish it has abit more suspension not op suspension just suspension to make it a fan favorite and p12 to idk if they did it yet but give the p12 a snorkel but that just mine thoughts
@@NProvince and abit more custome for those truckes to like buff the derry's trucks to make the player feel like nw i see why they was use to pull heavy tanks like give the us trucks in s tire well i like to see the p12 and 16 even the 4520 to be in s tire or under that and above a like a middle ground for it and you think u can go over some builds for said trucks i know the p12 is a very good carne truck but again ur show u do what u want to do
I was checking the video again in order to complete my truck collection and I must say that I strongly disagree with the kolobs being at S. You don't need 3-4 trucks just to get you out of a tough spot and in either case the CAT is the best for that. CAT and Kolobs have the same use and no utility and the Kolobs turn like they're trying to circle the earth so an S for both doesn't make much sense:P I also obviously disagree with the paystar being S. You can't put a vehicle that needs 3 fuel stops in order to get from one side of a large map to the other on the same category as the Zikz and the Azov:D. It is simply an unusable truck unless you spam fuel tanks everywhere (why would you ever do that tho if you have the Azov/Zikz tho). I generally notice that the community just likes to use different trucks which is more than ok BUT on a tier list, an S truck should be only the best for each use imo. Meaning CAT for rescue, Zikz for heavy load hard distant trips and Azov for utility (since at the time of the video the second Zikz wasn't released yet). The kolobs can be at A while the paystar is a clear B/C for me Depending on how many thousands of hours you have in the game and how much you desperately want to use something new :D)
This is the older version of this video and there is one up to all the Year 2 vehicles. I understand you disagree and that’s fine. The kolobs actually still have some the highest sitting saddles in the game, are some of the heavier vehicles in the game which gives them more traction, their turning circles are much better than most large trucks to be honest. And still to this day people still use them with a lot of success. Not to mention they are some of the most stable vehicles in the game with all their weight set in their chassis. They also have an independent suspension as well. You would be hard pressed to flip the 74941. Also just because a vehicle burns a lot of fuel doesn’t bring it down to a C. That means you just need to keep it fed. Saber giving it that downside was the only way to deter drivers then that’s really not a big deal. The CAT is amazing and it will always be where it’s at, but the Kolobs have a different mission set, but they are still very much so a contingency vehicle that folks can easily call on when you just wanna easy mode.
@@NProvince Well I only disagree with the S rating for the Kolobs and only because I think the S should only be one truck for each role but I can see your point for sure. As for the paystar is just a personal preference. Performance wise the truck is a beast no questions asked. I just don't like to rely on fuel tanks in maps that have scarce fuel stations (Aegis is a good example). As for easy mode there's the new Zikz. There's never a reason for me to pick anything else if I just want to chill. But up to the second year I can see your point since it wasn't released. I think it all comes down to play style in the end. Keep up the good work.
Ahh I see so you’re saying there should only be one truck on each spot like S right? So maybe you’re breaking them into certain roles then? I definitely appreciate that feedback and it is a lot of personal preference. I did predict there would be a lot that disagree and that’s totally fine. We all have our tier list ya know :)
Yes indeed there are a few trucks that dont fit into this category like most of the Western Stars actually, but I simply went by the developers placements on these.
While this is a subjective review, I’ve dedicated ALOT of time to research, test and interface with other RUclipsrs, testers, and data miners. A lot of them feel very similar. It’s strong and it can go through deep mud, but SnowRunner has moved away from those things since season 7 to present and added more unstable terrain. Even before season 7 this vehicle is just too tippy especially with cargo and hard to get it back upright. I found I could do the job with other far less capable trucks.I hope that explains the reasoning
@@NProvince It takes a bit of practice, so does the ANK. But once you learn how the articulation works by moving the center of gravity without needing to move the truck itself, it's real good. I've entered Kola, so I'm not going to be going as far as whatever season 7 is for a long time.
@@draugnaustaunikunhymnphoo6978 I know what you mean with using the articulation to keep balance. i believe i mentioned it on my review. Its a good truck dont get me wrong
Twinsteer, no raised suspension, chained tires, with high range gearbox KILLS Alaska. So long as you brake a little early, you can fly down the straightaways and end up with insane fuel economy for your speed and power, even when under load.
the twinsteer is my favorite truck just for its sheer 'idgaf' approach to offroading and getting over terrain. mud, snow, river crossings or even just exploring, it doesnt matter. aside from being too rigid for its own good and tipping over i use it whenever i can.
It definitely can get the job done when you dont feel like struggling
Basically sums up my thoughts on this truck too lol. It's huge length and AWD gives it such a massive advantage.
I agree it has that 'idgaf' and I think the people who use it, generally do with the same 'idgaf' attitude! I'm honestly learning to really hone my skills with the Twinsteer on Yukon, it's a beast if you can learn how to not tip it as often. Moves cargo really well, and just goes through any terrain really. It's a beast.
Throw it in high and let it eat! The twinsteer is super fun to drive in the game 💪
The OHD on the BOAR was seriously needed. It makes the truck very good
I agree!
Yea honestly I've been using it on Wisconsin and it's a beast
Very accurate tier list, but I think Antarctic is fitting in the back of the A tier. Because it dominates almost all flat deep areas and it is not afraid of water compared to CAT
That’s a good point :)
@@NProvince also unlike the 745c the Antarctic can tow trailers
@@davi03d61 correct, but overall use case I think the 745C is a better bet due to stability concerns
twin steer really got shafted by the devs, it should have a toggleable low saddle on the rear allowing for 2 cargo + saddle. It also should be able to tow trailers.
Ya I agree
I do wonder if the irl truck can rig up a saddle. And honestly, the twinsteer is too long for a trailer
From all heavy trucks i used my personal #1 is with no doubt CAT 745G.
Very stable,has a super winch and great engine and special gearbox,it is a 1st class beast to carry medium logs.
I don't have all of those trucks because i only have Kola DLC.

Thus they make good support vehicles for new players. The Other Kolob was a lifesaver for me in the white hell of Urska river unlocking the gateway, as was the 745C.

The offroad gearbox may help with this.
Ya the Long Nose and the P16 would be really good early game for sure.
Ya the P12 is underpowered and some of those trucks do have their issues as you said. I do like the highrange, but mostly I'll use the offroad just for slower gameplay lol
The P12 with a heavy crane could barely make it up a hill, sure it was the newer heavier crane but other trucks can handle it
I remember thinking the P16 wouldn’t do that good without awd, it handles itself a lot better than I thought it would especially in low
I like how you managed to give analytical ordering of these trucks, may be I have another point of view ordering them, but your effort is just perfect and I like your channel alot
I’m really glad you enjoyed it and that you like the channel as well. Thank you for that critique. :) I did expect people to have different orders because we all have different experiences with the game.
I find the Azov Antarctic with the Cat 745C the "save the day" duo in Kola Peninsula. Both laugh in the face of deep snow, mud. Break through thin ice with ease. For 4 slots of cargo, 2+2 on the Azov is convenient. Long trailers including semi trailers are a PITA to deal with on tight routes. Koblob is rather limited in utility, I would rank it below the Azov.
Also for semi trailers, Derry longhorn 4520 is my favorite for turning radius alone. My previous favorite for semi trailers was M916A1 also for turning radius.
Got the Zikz from Cosmodrome recently after 290 hours and have been spoling myself with it it just flies through everything
Ya the Zikz is such a powerful truck. I feel like the devs gave us that because Amur was so rough
I think the DAN is still a better crane than the P12, the latter just doesn't have enough offroad prowess to my liking - even with the strongest engine it feels like it never has enough power and it also drinks through the tank quite fast
Thats a good point, The DAN really is a hidden gem. With the Active suspension it for sure makes an amazing crane truck. The P12 for sure is underpowered, but I definitely love its height advantage for the outriggers and it does a good job while keeping in mind all your points. Good Comment!
aramatsu and P12 are unbeatable or atleast hard to beat as logging trucks. aramatsu haul 3-4 times logs (unpacked) while other can haul packed logs, but it takes many more trips.
meanwhile azov ''chin wagon'' 73210 can do same as p12, but only if you got active suspension upgrade
Ya the aramatsu is wonder for logs. If this list was based on categories hauled, It would be for sure my go to pick for logging
Funny you say you was super impressed with the OHD on the Boar. I switched back and forth between UOD and OHD a few times now and I don't find that the Boar performs any better at all. Which btw you aren't wrong, the OHD is a heavier tire. But what is it, something like 600kg compared to 3-400kg for the UOD (sorry if I remember that wrong). In a game where vehicles need a weight difference in the tons to start to feel any kind of significant difference, I just don't think the OHD little bit of extra really matters that much.
Then again maybe the difference would be felt more on lighter trucks. The Boar is already such a big heavy truck just on it's own that it probably doesn't matter which tire you use.
But yea UOD being classed as the American tire in game never made sense to me. I mean look at UOD II, a V thread offroad mud tire. I live in Canada, we use American trucks up here, I never in my live seen a real American truck driving around with a UOD II type tire. And even back on MudRunner, it was always the Russian trucks that had the UOD II tire while the American trucks had the more American looking highway/OHD type tire.
So why in the blue hell is UOD the standard American truck tire in SnowRunner? It makes no sense. lol. The UOD should be the standard Russian truck tire if anything.
Ya know I’m not sure why they do have the UODs either. I would be ok if they switched them to the OHDs. Wishful thinking there
@@NProvince I'd say just give all the trucks both sets.
Man I love these tier ranked vehicle videos you made. You never did one on the scouts I think? Would be interesting to see that as well. Or after Season 8 releases do updated ranking videos since we got some new vehicles added, some gameplay updates and perhaps your perception on the trucks evolved as well.
Thank you! Ya I’m actually waiting for the new Rezvanni scout to come out and then I’ll do a 6x6 and 8x8 scouts review then a tier list of course. Coming soon!
@@NProvince Great to hear! Can’t wait to see it! And absolutely love your channel, new subscriber since yesterday (also the day I restarted playing Snowrunner after almost 2 years absence 😅)
That’s awesome! Well welcome back!
Hiya I notice you're like me, referring to the 6900 as THE TwinSteer, even though now we have that big PayStar too. Cool videos bro.
Ya I think I will always refer to it like that and the 5600TS as the Paystar lol. Thank you !!
I would say that even with the changes they did to the Azov 73210 nose it still desperatly needs that active suspension to be reliable. Its powerful no doubt about that but without that suspension upgrade it still faceplants when u hit a bump so if u wanna use that truck then look up where that upgrade is and head straight for it first or u will tear your hair out everytime it gets just a little bumpy.
That was awesome! I enjoyed it very much and for the most part I agree with your ranking. For me the Derry trucks would be a little lower in ranking, even with all the latest and greatest upgrades they received I find that driving these two Derry trucks is simply too frustrating.🤘😬🤘
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it!! :) That’s a fair point and I completely know what you mean by that as well
Thanks man, I was just searching for a tier list, I only found a french one, and it was not so in-depth.
Was really helpful but now you got me wondering about the tires haha
Do you have a Tire explanation video? I dont understand the difference between HDM, ATMD OHD, OHS, MSH etc etc etc.
And hopefully you get better soon man :)
You're welcome! Oh ok this is hard to explain on a comment. In short there are Highway (UHD), Allterrain (ATMD), Offroad (UOD) or (OHD), or (OHS)then Mud tires (MSH) or (MHS). That list is basically worst grip to best, however some offroad tires have been doing really well and I am working on a video about traveling through mud and the effects of weight on certain tires. If I go live on twitch anytime soon, I would be happy to elaborate. I hope that helped :)
I bought Azov Antarctic, not so long before I found out about your channel here on youtube. How much money and time I would have saved :D. And yeah - a lot of nerves, because that truck is "C" and only because you want to be nice to him :D
btw great video as usual and thx for all your work ;-)
edit: Just one thing though: Truck without diff lock, huge fuel consumption and limited variability is a B+? wow :) Like you said, we don't have to agree on everything so totally agree with DAN 96320 but I'm surprised with Navistar 5000 :D
Thank you for those kind words. I think the Navistar is really capable despite not having Diff and bad consumption. This could be a Bias of mine, but I've had alot of success with it and the DAN...I just love that thing L)
Trust me... once you reach Amur, you will learn to love the Antarctic
Love the content, been going through some of your videos trying to decide if the navistar can still be used with success in later games, it looks really fun to drive :)
Navi is a blast to use. If you havent checked outt he review on the channel, it might help your decision. I really think its a good truck, just needs some support for fuel
@@NProvince love it, also it’s really nice that you reply to comments on older videos. Keep up the great work and hopefully I can catch a twitch stream ❤️
@@gavinwavy9132 anytime :)
Don't worry, I came here to hear somebody else's opinion, not my own. You explain your thoughts well, so I can understand, even if my own opinions differ.
Great vids, btw.
Thank you! glad you enjoyed the videos!
Talking about heavy class vehicles, what vehicle did you use for Titan awakening, what truck did you use for pulling the pump trailer from the park back to the warehouse?
And what did you use for the drill in North port, Alaska from the site south of the garage to the port?
Do you think the military Derry Longhorn could pull both scenarios?
I believe the Derry could pull that trailer in North Port. That huge mud strip will require winching, but ya most large mission trailer journeys do. For titan awakening, I would use a heavy truck with a very high sitting high saddle. I attempted this with the Tatra Phoenix and from its lacking frame height being an issue, I swapped it out for a higher sitting truck. A KOLOB, Zikz605R or another larger truck would be a good fit just because the added frame height will help mitigate getting snagged. Also bring a support fuel truck. Hope that helps! :)
Thank you Nathan.
boar has highest setting high saddle in game. try it in titan mission and forget about stucking at anything
@@vergil993, thank you sir. I actually used my dlc western star.
Loved this one too, I guess I'm just going through all tier lists today!
I’m glad you liked this one as well! I didn’t think these videos would be received well, so I’m glad some people like them :)
Can't wait to watch this on my breaks tomorrow.
Hope I don’t let you down on this one :)
My mouth literally dropped open when I saw the Azov crane.
I’am AZOV all the way all the time!!! Great video brother!!!
Yes! We have one more!
I absolutely hate using the P12 with a heavy crane, I once leaned on it as my on-site recovery vehicle, and that thing just kept tipping over. When the the roads are slanted it just wants to fall over.
Man I’m sorry you’re having issues with it. Are you using the OHDs?
No uh worry on the uh's. It really is a letdown for me on the p12, love the look of it but power is an issue. I have grown to love the 5600. I usually just run it with the fuel on back and hitch trailer.
Could type more but won't. Great job as always get well.
Thanks man! The P12 is great and I love it, but it just needs more power. Great support vehicle. I bought it on hardmode actually. Oh the 5600 is a monster! That huge fuel addon makes it nice
Great stuff 👍
Thank you!
Another great list. I agree with you again except for the Kolobs. I don't like those trucks as much as you. I do agree that they are strong though. The twinsteer has an amazing high gear and that truck flies. I also played snowrunner only for over a year. I bought my PS4 specifically for this game and put in some major hours of play time for working a full time job. I am really enjoying your snowrunner videos ty.
Thank you. I have update tier lists on the channel as well if you’d like to check those out. Those are covering all vehicles up to season 12. The next tier list I make will be when the year 4 pass concludes
@@NProvince I'll definitely be checking those out thanks. When I get burnt out on the game I watch videos about it so I'll probably at least check out all your snowrunner videos eventually. I haven't found very many creators that make videos about this game that I actually enjoy. I appreciate your work making the videos and also for the replies to my comments. If I like a video I always find something to comment about even if it's just to say thank you.
Thank you for this video! amazing!
You're very welcome! Glad you thought so :)
The Derry 3194 does have a horrendous turning circle, which makes reversing trailers an absolute pain.
Yea it does
Brilliant video lots of info thanks 👍
There is also an updated tier list out as well
I'm expecting e7310 or e7429 to take away 605r as new king in the coming phase8. Just my premonition 😆.
Thanks for sharing this tiering thing nate
Well ya true, Thats if they decide to add them. I really dont think they should add them, but if they do then yes you're right for sure
thanks for the good overview. Fully agree on Kolobs and Azov 7, and many other points. Though I don't agree on the trucks you put high that don't have diff lock or awd (like Pacific p16. p512, navistar etc.). these 2 aboslutely essential for any case. while putting so low Azov arctic. those things are controversial. On top IMHO in majority of cases High transmission, high wheels are more important than the pure Power to weight. anyway tha's only our opinions. so like for the video
I appreciate those kind words even though you didnt agree :)
I really thought you were going to scroll up and reveal an S+ category for the ZiKZ 605R
Well if they are the closest to the left they I consider them to have a “+”.
@@NProvince Yeah I just figured that was going to be your joke @ the end since I noticed you were scrolled down a bit.
Anyway great videos, appreciate your analytical approach.
Darn I should’ve done that actually now that you mention it! Hey thank you I appreciate you that !
Feel better soon.
Thank you!
Zik is my favourite , his wheels so well positioned and he is not a glass canon at all.
The zikz is the best truck in the game. I do think there are other amazing options to branch out and use, but yes the Zikz is in another league
Wow, it's such a useful video, but you sound like the guy from the snowrunner trailers 😅 or am I just trippen lol 😅😂
A lot of people tell me I sound very calm lol. Oh and there is an updated video for this which is linked in the video’s descriptions covering all Year 1 & 2
My main question is which one is the fastest heavy truck. Heavy trucks are so slow and I need them early game as I have too many issues early game with not well equipped trucks, and slow trucks. So, right now, I have access to mud tires, so speed is the most important right now for me.
Probably one that has a high range gear box
Can i improve you with Tatras? "They are maded in Czech Republik in city Kopřivnice" For their chassis, Tatras are very popular all over the world. SO pure CZ vehicle no UA/CZ :) bud i have to be positive.. Good videos Nathan , go on... :) PS:Sorry for mistakes i´m not an English professor :)
Yes indeed the Tatras are amazin IRL and they are very good in game. I rated these as fair as possible despite themhaving balance issues with a crane. I do felt I rated them alot better than some of my peers & or alot of other players
Yes I know some may say the kolobs are not good because of addons but honestly I have a video of me taking a 5-8 slot trailer up a almost vertical mountain and it had little to no trouble at all
Ya I do not question that. I believe it
What I hate about the Antarctic is that it supposed to have a lot of potential, but it just fails. Big wheels, but slips on ice, has a big cabin on it and it doesnt count as anything, at least there should be 150-200 repair points in there. And it would be good if they increase the width between tires, so it wouldnt tip over so damn much.
It really is very strong, but that one weakness is tough to go over. Those ideas are also something that would be cool. Perhaps having an option in that cab for more supplies or morefuel etc.
Zikz 605r is love, Zikz 605r is life.
It makes life easier for sure
Funny thing about the CAT is that even on the Yukon mission I just connected it to the trailer and then dragged it along with another truck. Then I sold it lel
Ya basically. I've used it as a tanker before which can be done, but ya most folks sell
I think the Antarctic would be the only truck getting a separate category for me. 100% E. Worst vehicle in the game, the only thing you can do with it is pulling long logs
I definitely see what you mean. It’s quite hard to use for a lot of things
I just found your channel. Great reviews. Great content. Very well thought out and presented. I've been binge watching a whole lot of them....even the livestream gameplay clips. And.... it's great to hear an American who is happy use metric measurements as well as the old system. Thanks from a new subscriber. 👍
Oh man! Thank you so much! I’m glad you have enjoyed the channel!
I'm missing the kenworth 963. Where should you rate that truck?
Heres my latest Tier List for all Y1 &Yr2 Heavy trucks. ruclips.net/video/TdfMeQEnIso/видео.htmlsi=yYTyNWtPnrZI7PfM However I have not made a new tier list due to waiting for Season 12. The Kenworth is essentially an S tier vehicle
thx for the update about the heavy truck list
I actually was really disappointed with the 49x. I pulled it out on Maine and it was just dreadful, couldn't get through anything without stopping dead or tipping over. It was so bad, I just sold it and never thought about it again. Also unpopular opinion, I've never used the Azov 7 on my hard mode play through, I always hated the low front colliding (on my easy mode game) and never used it. I don't miss it and I'll platinum hard mode without ever using it on that play through.
the a and s is my heavy line up except i have the phase 8 tractors instead on the tatras.
Thanks so much for this, found it really useful. There is one question I still have though.
What is the highest ranking truck that can use a loader crane & low saddle. Your reviews switched me on to that play style & I really love it, but I am struggling to find the best truck for it.
You're welcome! Im glad you wanna use the Low saddle! So thats a tricky question. Most offroad, or heavy duty trucks can have it. Some Heavy class trucks can as well. I would try using the vorons or the Taygas with those and see if you like it.
I honestly have been using C- B trucks alot more with this set-up and I just find it enjoyable and challenging :)
I recently like the P512 with crane and semi trailer. Low fuel but gets you there quickly.
Also I wouldn't give any articulated trucks an S - because its a significant detriment to maneuverability, bad for stability and is very prone to terrible snagging on the poles and trees where you can easily be trapped to a point needing a rescue by another truck.
While articulation can be tough for maunevering as you mentioned, its not bad for balance. The articulation actually has allowed for angles to be created to prevent tipping over and also the CAT745C is one of the most stable trucks in this game because of its articulation alowing for individual parts of the vehicle to flex and the other to stabilize while traversing through bumpy terrain. The front end articulation will actually twist and the aft end of the vehicle will not be affected.
@@NProvince true, but its kinda double edged, I've driven Antarctic for a while in the Kola and occasionally found situations where you need to turn a certain angle while leaning and it brings you almost off-balance, probably less an issue with the CAT. It just brings this extra element to an equation where you are manipulating your center of gravity at the same time as you are turning, which is not desirable some of the time.
Another thing not so great about the CAT is that it's suspension is extremely rigid with very little vertical space and movement. The 3d-flexible joint is fixing this to a degree, but its still not a good quality for something that goes off-road at a distance.
Where does the Kenworth fit in?
I have a more current tier list on my page that has the year 1 and year 2 vehicles. Pertaining to the kenworth that’s in year 3. I’ll be making a video when season 12 comes out. The Kenny I believe is S tier for sure
Wait, how did you get Navistar when playing on Steam?! 😶😑😥
You can purchase it on Steam. That was my whole reason for swithcing from Epic games to Steam :)
@@NProvince wait, so you tell me its no-longer pre-order exclusive or what? 😪
@@kexcz8276 Its available for purchase on Steam
thought about doing the derry trucks but kind wish it has abit more suspension not op suspension just suspension to make it a fan favorite and p12 to idk if they did it yet but give the p12 a snorkel but that just mine thoughts
I agree I think that would be some good upgrades for those vehicles. Maybe a stronger engine for the P12 and P16 as well
@@NProvince and abit more custome for those truckes to like buff the derry's trucks to make the player feel like nw i see why they was use to pull heavy tanks like give the us trucks in s tire well i like to see the p12 and 16 even the 4520 to be in s tire or under that and above a like a middle ground for it and you think u can go over some builds for said trucks i know the p12 is a very good carne truck but again ur show u do what u want to do
I was checking the video again in order to complete my truck collection and I must say that I strongly disagree with the kolobs being at S. You don't need 3-4 trucks just to get you out of a tough spot and in either case the CAT is the best for that. CAT and Kolobs have the same use and no utility and the Kolobs turn like they're trying to circle the earth so an S for both doesn't make much sense:P
I also obviously disagree with the paystar being S. You can't put a vehicle that needs 3 fuel stops in order to get from one side of a large map to the other on the same category as the Zikz and the Azov:D. It is simply an unusable truck unless you spam fuel tanks everywhere (why would you ever do that tho if you have the Azov/Zikz tho).
I generally notice that the community just likes to use different trucks which is more than ok BUT on a tier list, an S truck should be only the best for each use imo. Meaning CAT for rescue, Zikz for heavy load hard distant trips and Azov for utility (since at the time of the video the second Zikz wasn't released yet). The kolobs can be at A while the paystar is a clear B/C for me Depending on how many thousands of hours you have in the game and how much you desperately want to use something new :D)
This is the older version of this video and there is one up to all the Year 2 vehicles. I understand you disagree and that’s fine. The kolobs actually still have some the highest sitting saddles in the game, are some of the heavier vehicles in the game which gives them more traction, their turning circles are much better than most large trucks to be honest. And still to this day people still use them with a lot of success. Not to mention they are some of the most stable vehicles in the game with all their weight set in their chassis. They also have an independent suspension as well. You would be hard pressed to flip the 74941. Also just because a vehicle burns a lot of fuel doesn’t bring it down to a C. That means you just need to keep it fed. Saber giving it that downside was the only way to deter drivers then that’s really not a big deal.
The CAT is amazing and it will always be where it’s at, but the Kolobs have a different mission set, but they are still very much so a contingency vehicle that folks can easily call on when you just wanna easy mode.
@@NProvince Well I only disagree with the S rating for the Kolobs and only because I think the S should only be one truck for each role but I can see your point for sure.
As for the paystar is just a personal preference. Performance wise the truck is a beast no questions asked. I just don't like to rely on fuel tanks in maps that have scarce fuel stations (Aegis is a good example).
As for easy mode there's the new Zikz. There's never a reason for me to pick anything else if I just want to chill. But up to the second year I can see your point since it wasn't released.
I think it all comes down to play style in the end.
Keep up the good work.
Ahh I see so you’re saying there should only be one truck on each spot like S right? So maybe you’re breaking them into certain roles then?
I definitely appreciate that feedback and it is a lot of personal preference. I did predict there would be a lot that disagree and that’s totally fine. We all have our tier list ya know :)
That cat 745c will literally stop for nothing lol I've dragged fully loaded trucks through cracked ice on amur multiple times with it already
Yep I’ve done the same things hing with CAT. It’s my go to for hard rescues and ferrying vehicles across places like those
I have 3 ANKs. All have their own role.
Nice! ANK is a really strong truck
some of these classifications are weird - 49X is definitely a heavy duty, not heavy, it doesn't fit the size or weight of the heavy class.
Yes indeed there are a few trucks that dont fit into this category like most of the Western Stars actually, but I simply went by the developers placements on these.
well im glad i atleast got the new engine, but im still crippled :(
The New Engine in my humble opinion makes the Derry much better
wait a sec, your a truck (no offense)
how are you typing?!
@@OuredBayDumbass hahaha! I HAVE NO IDEA!!!!!!!
cool
Heaviest truck is the big kolob
Yes it weighs the most of any truck :)
oooof, putting Antarctic in C and not S is .. ooof, man
While this is a subjective review, I’ve dedicated ALOT of time to research, test and interface with other RUclipsrs, testers, and data miners. A lot of them feel very similar. It’s strong and it can go through deep mud, but SnowRunner has moved away from those things since season 7 to present and added more unstable terrain. Even before season 7 this vehicle is just too tippy especially with cargo and hard to get it back upright. I found I could do the job with other far less capable trucks.I hope that explains the reasoning
@@NProvince It takes a bit of practice, so does the ANK. But once you learn how the articulation works by moving the center of gravity without needing to move the truck itself, it's real good. I've entered Kola, so I'm not going to be going as far as whatever season 7 is for a long time.
@@draugnaustaunikunhymnphoo6978 I know what you mean with using the articulation to keep balance. i believe i mentioned it on my review. Its a good truck dont get me wrong
Twinsteer, no raised suspension, chained tires, with high range gearbox KILLS Alaska. So long as you brake a little early, you can fly down the straightaways and end up with insane fuel economy for your speed and power, even when under load.
Oh I know it! That truck is one of the only that command respect for the Americans in that game :)
