Keep in mind that these videos are TIER LISTS Not Truck Reviews. They were not meant to be longform reviews. The are meant to simply show my placement of these vehicles. However, I have taken too much time in alot of these videos, yet I know alot of folks have enjoyed them. If you'd like to know more info on any vehicle, Please check out my Truck Reviews on each truck
Since the Jat pack came out I've genuinely enjoyed using most scouts now, what makes them especially useful is trailblazing with them, they're usually small enough to squeeze through all the trees and stuff
I still use my Loadstar to scout while picking up tasks and upgrades. It's an absolute joy to drive. I also use the F750 for light rescue and the 420 for stickier rescues. The Burlak? Well, that's just crazy. Another awesome video, Nate.
I also chose the Scout 800 as my main scouting truck. With 35 inch OHD's and the snowrunner gearbox, I climbed the vertical mud slope in smithville dam without winching. If the truck wasnt so bouncy and tippy, it'd be the perfect scout
another epic tier list! Great work Nathan! Love watching your vids as i do the regions. I think the rezvani is underrated. I used it in BC and it was able to do the most extreme dirt path from one watchtower all the way across and use just 22litres of fuel! default engine too.. super powerful :) Totally agree on scout 800.
For the Loadstar, I think you should have mentioned the effect of the loading crane! Due to its high mass the truck tends to sink through snow (/mud) and gain high traction for added speed. The thing can handle surprisingly deep snow.
Another great Tier List video, and this time it essentially coincides with my tier list (the one I have in my head, I mean). The Burlak 6x6 is the scout vehicle that surprised me the most. Sure, it's not fun when it tips over, but that's amply outweighed by its positives. Not only it's great on ice - it's one of those vehicles that _keep going_ when they break through thin ice. And what's even more, it's actually good at rescuing other trucks stuck in broken ice. In my second playthrough I had a loaded Azov 73210 stuck in broken ice in Yellowrock National Forest, and the Burlak was able to drag it out and escort it to its destination. I was rather impressed, because initially the Burlak didn't give me the impression it was a good hauler, and felt a little underpowered for that. Also, I do use the Highrange gearbox with it simply because it gives the Burlak an additional fifth gear and makes it move a bit faster. Great work as usual with this video, Nathan! Keep it up! //Rick
I play sort of the same way, give most trucks an extended run, but with that being said, I can't imagine playing this game without the Loadstar, Yar, F-650, and APC. I try to use them for basically everything, except 5th wheel trailers.
Well put, I appreciate your effort and care for this treasure of the game. This is the only game where I genuinely enjoy the driving every moment and have so much fun I forget the time and don’t tire of the game. It’s a gem and people need to give it a try especially after the first hour of driving, I know for some people the mud at the beginning can be frustrating but it’s realistic and once you get better tires on the starter pickup you can get everything unstuck lol
When I first started playing Snowrunner I wasn't interested in delivering cargo. I did nothing but drive around for probably a month or so and I put all the scouts that were available then to the test. My favorite truck is the F750 but I also really like the Khan Marshall. They both got buffed but the F750 really needed it. I have every vehicle available in the game except the new tank scout dlc. My list would be different from yours this time. I would have put the Marshall at A and the Apache at D amongst other differences I would have for my own list. I like what you said about the F750 and the Loadstar. I kinda consider them to be trucks more than scouts and I like how you said they are "crossover" vehicles. Well said. I don't know a lot about the newer scouts because I haven't drove them much so I liked hearing what you had to say about those. I have used the Hercules and I think it's right up there with the crossovers. Great list and I enjoyed the video. Thank you. Hope you don't mind my long comments.
I like packing a scout onto a larger truck and deploying it when I can't fit. Scouts often tie me up in spots where a larger truck breezes through, in comparison.
I love exploring around with the tuz 166. I just really like how it drives. Capable of crawling over almost anything, and can handle most mud or snow. I don’t even have the top engine unlocked yet. Other favs are the loadstar, f750, and lo4f.
Season 12 is a great scout man, very fun. I used the land rover defenders and the neo falcon on the first map, each going down a different trail. The hummer is my favorite though ('murica!), fuel efficient, can carry another tank worth of fuel, good ground clearance, and it can tow easily. Also I have the JAT tires on all of them, and they definitely improve the scout class.
Loving these tiered list videos. I’d be interested to hear as part of these which ones you find the most fun. That subjective measurement can be closely aligned to capabilities, but sometimes the poor vehicles are just plain enjoyable to mess around in. Perhaps it is the joy of over coming their deficiencies, it could be the view from the driver’s seat, the look of it, what ever it is. The most capable objects in any game can actually be the least fun to use. Loving the content, especially as someone new to this game.
27:38 THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! Why that Burlak got a light trailer hitch before the Apache, the Hercules, and the Renegade, which are separate DLC trucks not a part of any season map, I will never figure out. Thank you for saying that, cause I don't think anyone else ever mentioned how broken that seems and how betraying that feels to the older scouts. Edit: Looking back for a second, that F-750 should've been given the light trailer hitch as well since it too has the heavy trailer hitch. It would only seem fair and would make it one broken scout to have as well. Those new fuel and repair scout trailers would make it one dangerous recovery vehicle to have a hold of.
You're welcome. It's just too much for any truck to have 2 hitches at all. I would rather see the F750 with a scout hitch only. I think it would make it even more viable imho. Glad you enjoyed the video :)
I personally love Scout 800 on JATs. Managed Michigan, Alaska and Wisconsin so far. No raised suspension with snowrunner gearbox. On slopes and downhills shifting into low+. Wouldn't say its THAT tippy. Actually had worse experience with CK1500 on raised suspension ))) p.s Love its massive roof rack
Chevy apache fwd mode is actually really handy it makes it turn sharper on mud especially and the fuelcost for always awd is not really a problem since it can carry alot of fuel like 2 extra full tanks
Want a challenge? Use the "Titanium" 20 wheel mod truck as a scout to fully uncover all watchtowers on a map. Easier on some maps. Damn near impossible on others. I have done it on a few maps and it definitely makes you choose your path just to fit through the trees.
I played this game for several months back in 2020, and loved it, but put it down because I probably started playing something else and never came back to it. Classic story. I guess a video for the new game came across my feed, and being between games at the moment, I decided to reinstall it. Holy crap, they pumped a lot of love into this game and I feel dumb for leaving! So much extra content. I’m buying the dlc tires tomorrow because I also love scouting with a scout and I have all these new maps to explore. This is like Christmas.
@@NProvince I payed the $3 for that Mastadon DLC too. That thing is an absolute unit. It seems to be the only vehicle you need. It’s too big for some of the skinnier scout passages, but that’s the only drawback and that’s a small drawback.
Scouts are pretty useful. Playing hardmode (custom built with game+) right now. I see 3 major advantages, esp. in early game: 1) Low fuel consumption 2) faster, more agile 3) unlocked auto winch - truck recovery cost hits hard in hardmode.
As someone that started playing recently , i do use Scouts quite a lot and honestly i love it. I did start on New Game Plus with a lot hard settings especially stuff that make feel cheat in a sense , like selling stuff etc ... I will say this, i am playing the game for a week or so and still using the Fleetstar F2070A , don't judge this truck is special to me , the first time i got AWD and Diff Lock on it and UOD II tyres , it felt to me i can do anything with that truck and yes i did haul that huge construction station with it ,in Black River Map ,and it was like an hour figuring out the path lol because when i tried to go up the cliff close to the Lumber Mill i found out the hard way i just didn't had the engine power to do it haha , anyway love your reviews man
Glad to hear that you have been playing the game that way. Most folks just reach for the best trucks in the game right away. Thank you for that comment
That's the way to do it. Get creative and experiment. Have fun, and do things that would be outrageously risky and / or expensive irl. Heck yeah, see what you can get out of the old beater you dragged out of the swamp!
I like to play with scouts and I usually use American trucks in America and Russian trucks in Russia. The loadstar was my go to American scout before the additions of the f750.
Honestly the CAT is surprisingly good,true it doesn't have any suspension so it literally feels like driving a normal truck with collapsed suspension but it performs rlly well. The two things i wish the devs changes were: 1. give it trailer support even if it is just scout trailers it'll still be decent having the 2 slot trailer flatbed and maybe the ability to haul some fuel or suppiles 2. make it so the fork acts as a 1 slot platform and the cargo can be "packed" on it basically locking the cargo on the fork cuz as it is it just feels way way too finicky to use even if you don't mind the slow nature of it and just want to RP the damn thing is so awful to use it drives you nuts,by the time you loaded 2 cargos you probably would've delivered it across the map 3 times -_- Also imo most scout vehicle tires should have their codings doubled,scouts suffer most from lack of grip and no1 ever sees the codings anyway so most ppl will assume they're grippier cuz they're lighter which is indeed the feeling a scout should give you if you played the original spintires you know what i mean. Sadly in this game scouts are almost useless other than some small mandatory scouting which sometimes is worth doing but most of the times you do it with a truck anyway AND RP purposes. Having better unique tires would be good for scouts, higher values than normal trucks since the scout tires are used for scouts only anyway and boom scouting and scout vehicles are great again.
I dont know if anyone else has experience this but the Tuz 166 will randomly stop for no reason, its like it hits an invisible patch of mud and struggles to get out of 2nd gear even if I am driving down a stretch of highway. It seems to always happen as I am passing the liftgates of any garage.
@@NProvince Thanks! Ill try switching the gear box...I tried to find a solution on reddit but it seems like no one else has this problem. Not a big deal, there are other better scouts, I just like how small it is.
First thing I do on every map is scout the map with the prototype scanner trailer and on the really bad maps I'll use my tuz to pull my scout with the prototype trailer hit all the watch towers and use the trailer to fill in the blanks every one of my maps is fully scanned an uncovered apart from a few of the newer maps as I haven't quite gotten that far yet took a big brake from the game and came back to like 3 new regions and another one coming out real soon so gotta catch back up 😂😂
I use the actaeon a lot for scounting even though its not a scout class. I have 3 of them one for gas, on for single slot cargo and crane and rhe orher for repairs.
Nice video Nathan! I’ve been away from the game for over a year but starting to play it again now. 😎 For the Loadstar and F 750 you prefer the UOD II over the JAT tires? I thought JAT was supposed to make the scouts better? Which JAT tires would be best for the Loadstar and F 750? Thanks in advance if you can help me out with this choice! 🙏
Thank you! I do prefer UOD2s over the JAT tires for these because I feel they are both really stable already. The loadstar and the F750 have Truck tires not scout tires so it’s a little different. If you needed more lateral stability with those trucks (I don’t think you do) then the JAT OMD3 is a good pick. Hope that helps
You said Apache was like the Yar? Not really, the Yar doesn't have 2WD at all. It's either 4x4 (front and middle axle powered, rear axle off) or 6X6 (all axles powered). So the Apache is the only truck that strickly goes into FWD when AWD is turned off. Pretty good list. I hold the Chevy CK1500 is higher regard then the Hummer H2 though. 1500 has great balance, even before the JAT's it made it through so much more mud and snow then I would have thought. Everything from floating across rivers, to getting much bigger trucks unstuck. Mud, water, power, balance, can have full supplies and still hook trailers, 1500 has it all. Only thing that does it is it's one of, if not the thirstiest light 4X4 scouts with it's top engine. But it's roof rack gives it enough fuel to not make this a severe issue at least. Hummer H2 isn't bad, but 1500 has overall impressed me just so much more over the past 3, going into 4 years. TUZ 166 is great, a highly underrated little beast that car is.
Ahh yes thats right the Yars 2 front axle fire when AWD is toggled off. However I did cover how the Apache has 2WD when AWD is turned off. Good catch on that one. Glad you enjoyed the video and you have great points on the CK1500 as well
How does the Rock Grinder compare to the Jeep Wrangler? They both have crawler suspension - is the rock grinder a viable option for my main scout on hard mode? I only have the OG vehicles and year 3 season pass
The rock grinder definitely isn’t as good as the wrangler. It can handle the year 3 maps easily I think, but it’s rock crawler suspension isn’t on par with the wranglers imho
As I have been exploring maps, keep in mind I just finished Michigan and I started Alaska, I have been using the Crocodile (DLC) to explore maps for a few reasons. 1) It has great ability to go through terrain and it's still low enough to with a suspension raise to go under and between trees. 2) I like having a low saddle on it so as I am exploring I can move trailers to complete the simple tasks and make some money while exploring. 3) as is still has a hitch to pull dolly trailers so I can move fuel trailers such to areas that would be better for having my trucks out in the world. Anyone else do this?
🚛💨 Looking for a Scout truck tier list in SnowRunner? While everyone's preferences may vary, some popular choices include the Khan 39 Marshall, the Chevrolet CK1500, and the International Scout 800. These versatile vehicles will help you navigate through challenging terrains and complete your missions with ease. Happy scouting! #SnowRunnerScouts #TruckTierList #OffRoadAdventures
I feel like the Scout 800 was done dirty, id objectively place it in B, personaly A. Mostly cus of its massive range/silly low fuel consumption. With roof rack I believe it had or close to two refills of its fueltank, right setup and itd use tiny amount of fuel. It could get through most terrain, thin so even forests. Biggest downside is stability with roofrack, but not putting it sideways on hills/electric winch negates that to the most part. Oh and it sucks at pulling trailers, but need to for scouting alone.
@nprovince All good man. I love your videos and have been watching them for a while. So much knowledge in your head you are allowed to forget small things.
For scouts, since they can’t really haul much I would say it matters a little less because they just don’t weigh a lot. Now weight on the other hand is very important because weight=increased grip, but decreased power to weight. However scouts never really have issues with power to weight. Scouts that are heavier show to handle trailers better. Lighter scouts just don’t handle them as well due to the trailer weighing more or as much than the scout itself. I hope that kinda makes sense. Torque values matter, but they matter more to hauling class trucks that can put cargo on their frames or saddles more
Hey, do you have a link to the truck images you used in your tier lists? The ones with the trucks' names directly on them are very helpful in differentiating between them!
@@NProvince Edit: I see them on maprunner, except the text at the bottom isn't actually a part of the images; when I go to save them I just get the raw image of the truck without the text across the bottom. Did you have to do something special to capture the labeled images?
I believe the first engine is the most efficient. I’m currently out of town or I could give you a full breakdown. Honestly, all the engines are pretty good
Super conditions are the deepest places of mud/ snow in the game. There really are only a few trucks in the game that can cross them naturally without help from some sort of extra wide bouyant tire. After Season 6 these areas have essentially died off or have been very very few and far between that it’s not a thing as of late, but during the Year 1 pass and a few seasons into the Year 2 pass they were present. I hope that answers your question. I could show you sometime on stream as well so that you get a visual
While this would be a video I could do. I’m Not necessarily a fan of videos like that because it encourages folks just to use the best of the best. This channel really tries to highlight all trucks and encourage folks to use a lot of the options in your garage. However on my reviews of each truck; in the conclusion portion of the videos, I give my recommendations on what to use the truck for
@@NProvince I actually thought about this idea a bit more after I made the comment, and I think what would be a better video would be a video going over the most fun truck to use for each type of job. Maybe not the best, but the one that will be able to get the job done (...eventually) but even though it may not be the very best for the job it'll be the most fun and interesting to use. I think the main reason I'm asking is because I've been using the Mastodon and it's a great truck, and can do pretty much everything so I'm using it for pretty much everything apart from scouting, but I would love to use a bit more of a variety
I like your thinking, both of you folks. I suspect there's potential for video topics here, with a bit further discussion and development. Like Nathan highlighting jobs the trucks are suited to, maybe a video on X job, with a handful of trucks recommended. Maybe an easy mode truck, a decent challenge truck, any that make the task hilarious or absurd in some unique way, hidden gem trucks that one might not consider for the task, other sorts of categories like this, apart from "best". A series on getting more enjoyment and variety out of your tasks, rather than making them as easy as possible.
Snowrunner does seem to have alot of these mid range trucks and scouts where they have enough to get the job done but nothing really special about them that makes them worth using.
I think the midrange mid class trucks are quite awesome to use. Maybe not the scout class, but even those, I’ve had good success with most trucks. I tend to stay away from the higher tiers
@@NProvince Personally the most fun I have with Snowrunner is blasting down roads going as fast as reasonably possible. Its just more fun when I'm barely hanging on to the road watching the russian pavement consume my suspension.
Imo Yar is very good but really tippy, most of the time i can winch and put it back on its tires but it tip a lot. Tatarin insane (broken op imo because of tires mud stat 8 i ended nerfing it down to 4 : still very good) but fuel consumption quite high Loadstar is very good but 41'' tires isn't enough, it'll stuggle in medium mud/snow. F750 very good but quite big and can become tippy with roof addon (like most scouts) so i only put non roof addons.
Super Conditions are basically the Thickest Mud &/or Snow In the game. These areas have vastly reduced in occurance since the Year 2 maps. They really arent in many areas
I personally don't think the burlak should be a scout, there's nothing that really requires it to be a scout, if you look at say the tatra 805 that is a off-road truck, if you put them side by side it dwarfs it
To me, there is more to it than simply the capabilities of the vehicle. I will take my scout 800 over any other truck any day, Just because I like the way it looks, it's more of a challenge, especially on uneven surfaces. I have other trucks that are faster, less tippy, have more power but I only use them if I actually need that capability for a specific task
I agree that you should not simply use the best all the time or the game will get boring. That i will agree with. This list is simply a ranking of what trucks I felt were strongest with respect to class structure and I felt the performed within my perception of that structure
I still stand by Tatrin, F-750, Loadstar, and Burlak 6x6. The rest are F tier and not worth using unless you have no other option. The rest bog down the second you hit a hard pack dirt road. Feels like driving on racing slicks with the power of a prius.
IMO the Burlak is at the top of A. It drives frustratingly slow because it just can't put what little power it has down on any uneven terrain. It just ends up spinning one wheel at the speed of low+, so actually switching to low+ and using diff lock usually doesn't help all that much. Same issue with the T813. Also the inboard winch points effectively make it almost impossible to upright by itself. Great tires, onboard fuel and repair, efficiency, and scout trailers bring it up to A. Besides that, good list and vid. Glad to see the bread loaf in A. Only recently discovered how good that and the Loadstar are. Wish I discovered that before I was over halfway through all the seasons.
i still use my scouts to reveal the map and grab upgrades and the Loadstar is my baby, shes my snowpig, because its ugly and the engine sounds like its grunting
The Kahn Marshall nerfs i will never understand why they desided to nerf it the way they did. At the release of the game yes it was very OP for the terrain available at the time i dont think there is anyone that used it back then that would disagree on that. But slicing the fuel tank nearly in half was the dummest nerf possable. The last thing u wanna have to worry about in a scout truck is running out of fuel and thats exactly what that nerf did to it. If u could hook up a scout trailer to it it wouldent have been such a bad move but u cant so the nerf took it from being an easy S-tier scout to borderline useless unless u know u got a fuel station or a trailer on the map where u need to go.
Yet it even has a scout trailer hitch modelled on its rear bumper AND in the truck file it even got a line saying ExcludeAddons="scout_trailer_flatbed_1, scout_trailer_flatbed_2, scout_trailer_oiltank", so what about the rest of the scout trailers? ........like wtf
@@iSkiLLeTXx Yeah not sure how they missed that part for a preorder vehicle. In the wiki it says under scout trailers. "Can be towed by scout class vehicles that have a Scout Hitch" and also list the scout class trucks that cant use it as they lack a hitch so the Khan only has the hitch visable as a none functional model. Its almost like they noticed how powerful it really was before launch so instead of changing the model they edited out its ability to attatch a trailer.
Locking its DIFF with 80K torque and those tires will alleviate that. Also Towing cargo with a scout is also not really a good idea due to the trailer weight and the cargo weight being much heavier than the vehicle and load weight on vehicle axles. Hope that helps. This article explains how hitch trailer with weight impede performance forums.focus-entmt.com/topic/43997/terrain-physics-blog
I was rather excited about another high quality NP video despite its length until in the very beginning you stated that this is done WITHOUT JAT tires. Why on earth? Anyone serious enough to watch a half hour video about scouts WILL certainly have the JAT pack or will buy it after watching the review but you intentionally leave them out? They don't even have a level limit if I recall correctly so anyone can use them. Did not bother watching this as grip info will be outdated.
This was done because it’s already known from the JAT tire review that the JAT MS3 tires scale up each vehicles performance. Even with the JAT tires this list wouldn’t change. The vehicles have been thoroughly looked over. The JATs only real advantage on smaller scouts is to allow them to not sink down to their frame and adds lateral stability across the board. Tire coefficients are not the whole story when it comes to performance from info from Saber and also testing offroad tires compared to mud. While my views are subjective, they are backed by testing, info seeking, and gathering information from data miners to bring a product that I believe will be beneficial to make players better and for no reason other :)
I know I'm gonna get a lot of hate for this but the loaf is just not that good and I never see myself using it. I understand why people like it, the novelty factor is there and it's cute and all but it's not a very competent scout on harder maps. It's not all that stable either, it definitely lands on its wheels extremely easily but I wouldn't say it's hard to flip.
Okay. I liked all the other lists. They felt a little rushed, but... Fine 90% of the time. But this one... Come on, it was a sloppy job. You didn't even bother to say the name of some trucks and didn't go into detail about most.
The other tier list were not rushed actually nor has any of these if you look at the length of past tierlists (prior to the newest installments). I've been working on placement and what I was planning to say since the Year 3 maps started coming out. I dont feel I need to repeat things I've already said on Truck Reviews. Keep in mind these are tier lists, not a truck reviews. If you;d like more info, like I've said on all my tierlists videos (new and old) please go look at my reviews on them
Keep in mind that these videos are TIER LISTS Not Truck Reviews. They were not meant to be longform reviews. The are meant to simply show my placement of these vehicles. However, I have taken too much time in alot of these videos, yet I know alot of folks have enjoyed them. If you'd like to know more info on any vehicle, Please check out my Truck Reviews on each truck
Tatrin: I fear no mud.
*A slightly icey road*
But that thing it scares me..
LOL true,
Aaaaaaah! Slightly deep water, noooooooo!
Flashbacks of perfectly high centering on boulders in Imandra...*shudders*
I have been loving these year 3 Tier lists. Thank you for all your time and effort you put into these. Keep on trucking :)
You are most welcome! Glad you have been enjoying them
Since the Jat pack came out I've genuinely enjoyed using most scouts now, what makes them especially useful is trailblazing with them, they're usually small enough to squeeze through all the trees and stuff

I also chose the Scout 800 as my main scouting truck. With 35 inch OHD's and the snowrunner gearbox, I climbed the vertical mud slope in smithville dam without winching. If the truck wasnt so bouncy and tippy, it'd be the perfect scout
8:13 on the Yar, 2 front axles are driven and the rearmost one is connectable
Bro, if this is you Odd Presentation, why are you in the r/snowrunner AND TH-cam comments? What's next? Am I going to see you in TikTok comments, too?
@ashjagermain308 yes. I'm everywhere. The correct nickname is Vlad Vulcan, the "Odd Presentation" was a fake account I created, and it became my main.
another epic tier list! Great work Nathan! Love watching your vids as i do the regions. I think the rezvani is underrated. I used it in BC and it was able to do the most extreme dirt path from one watchtower all the way across and use just 22litres of fuel! default engine too.. super powerful :)
Totally agree on scout 800.
Thanks a ton!
Some of the best lists I've seen. Not so many people talk about the driving experience which is essential to enjoy a scout. Congrats!
Thank you!
For the Loadstar, I think you should have mentioned the effect of the loading crane! Due to its high mass the truck tends to sink through snow (/mud) and gain high traction for added speed. The thing can handle surprisingly deep snow.
The Loadstar can also do sick wheelies when you have the crane positioned right
Another great Tier List video, and this time it essentially coincides with my tier list (the one I have in my head, I mean). The Burlak 6x6 is the scout vehicle that surprised me the most. Sure, it's not fun when it tips over, but that's amply outweighed by its positives. Not only it's great on ice - it's one of those vehicles that _keep going_ when they break through thin ice. And what's even more, it's actually good at rescuing other trucks stuck in broken ice. In my second playthrough I had a loaded Azov 73210 stuck in broken ice in Yellowrock National Forest, and the Burlak was able to drag it out and escort it to its destination. I was rather impressed, because initially the Burlak didn't give me the impression it was a good hauler, and felt a little underpowered for that. Also, I do use the Highrange gearbox with it simply because it gives the Burlak an additional fifth gear and makes it move a bit faster.
Great work as usual with this video, Nathan! Keep it up! //Rick
Thank you !
I play sort of the same way, give most trucks an extended run, but with that being said, I can't imagine playing this game without the Loadstar, Yar, F-650, and APC. I try to use them for basically everything, except 5th wheel trailers.
jeep wrangler with the crawler suspension is a force to reckon with
Me, still running my beginner Chevy. Because it looks great, and it is SOOO light it can winch out of anything.
Hey! Thanks for making these updated tier lists and videos in general. Always appreciated your insights and love for this game. Cheers~
Glad you found it useful :)
Well put, I appreciate your effort and care for this treasure of the game. This is the only game where I genuinely enjoy the driving every moment and have so much fun I forget the time and don’t tire of the game.

When I first started playing Snowrunner I wasn't interested in delivering cargo. I did nothing but drive around for probably a month or so and I put all the scouts that were available then to the test. My favorite truck is the F750 but I also really like the Khan Marshall. They both got buffed but the F750 really needed it. I have every vehicle available in the game except the new tank scout dlc. My list would be different from yours this time. I would have put the Marshall at A and the Apache at D amongst other differences I would have for my own list. I like what you said about the F750 and the Loadstar. I kinda consider them to be trucks more than scouts and I like how you said they are "crossover" vehicles. Well said. I don't know a lot about the newer scouts because I haven't drove them much so I liked hearing what you had to say about those. I have used the Hercules and I think it's right up there with the crossovers. Great list and I enjoyed the video. Thank you. Hope you don't mind my long comments.
I like packing a scout onto a larger truck and deploying it when I can't fit. Scouts often tie me up in spots where a larger truck breezes through, in comparison.
I love exploring around with the tuz 166. I just really like how it drives. Capable of crawling over almost anything, and can handle most mud or snow. I don’t even have the top engine unlocked yet.
Other favs are the loadstar, f750, and lo4f.
The biggest issue with the Tatarin is that it's clearly amphibious, but that's not simulated in the game. It should swim like a boat.
Thats a good point
Season 12 is a great scout man, very fun. I used the land rover defenders and the neo falcon on the first map, each going down a different trail. The hummer is my favorite though ('murica!), fuel efficient, can carry another tank worth of fuel, good ground clearance, and it can tow easily. Also I have the JAT tires on all of them, and they definitely improve the scout class.
Loving these tiered list videos. I’d be interested to hear as part of these which ones you find the most fun. That subjective measurement can be closely aligned to capabilities, but sometimes the poor vehicles are just plain enjoyable to mess around in. Perhaps it is the joy of over coming their deficiencies, it could be the view from the driver’s seat, the look of it, what ever it is. The most capable objects in any game can actually be the least fun to use. Loving the content, especially as someone new to this game.
Glad you enjoyed these :)
I am yet to be bored by the international loadstar! And it's there from the launch of the game! 😂
Fantastic news thanks for the opdate 💪🏻
27:38 THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! Why that Burlak got a light trailer hitch before the Apache, the Hercules, and the Renegade, which are separate DLC trucks not a part of any season map, I will never figure out. Thank you for saying that, cause I don't think anyone else ever mentioned how broken that seems and how betraying that feels to the older scouts.
Edit: Looking back for a second, that F-750 should've been given the light trailer hitch as well since it too has the heavy trailer hitch. It would only seem fair and would make it one broken scout to have as well. Those new fuel and repair scout trailers would make it one dangerous recovery vehicle to have a hold of.
You're welcome. It's just too much for any truck to have 2 hitches at all. I would rather see the F750 with a scout hitch only. I think it would make it even more viable imho. Glad you enjoyed the video :)
I personally love Scout 800 on JATs. Managed Michigan, Alaska and Wisconsin so far. No raised suspension with snowrunner gearbox. On slopes and downhills shifting into low+. Wouldn't say its THAT tippy. Actually had worse experience with CK1500 on raised suspension ))) p.s Love its massive roof rack
Chevy apache fwd mode is actually really handy it makes it turn sharper on mud especially and the fuelcost for always awd is not really a problem since it can carry alot of fuel like 2 extra full tanks
Want a challenge? Use the "Titanium" 20 wheel mod truck as a scout to fully uncover all watchtowers on a map. Easier on some maps. Damn near impossible on others. I have done it on a few maps and it definitely makes you choose your path just to fit through the trees.
I played this game for several months back in 2020, and loved it, but put it down because I probably started playing something else and never came back to it. Classic story. I guess a video for the new game came across my feed, and being between games at the moment, I decided to reinstall it. Holy crap, they pumped a lot of love into this game and I feel dumb for leaving! So much extra content. I’m buying the dlc tires tomorrow because I also love scouting with a scout and I have all these new maps to explore. This is like Christmas.
That’s awesome! Glad to have ya back!
@@NProvince I payed the $3 for that Mastadon DLC too. That thing is an absolute unit. It seems to be the only vehicle you need. It’s too big for some of the skinnier scout passages, but that’s the only drawback and that’s a small drawback.
Scouts are pretty useful. Playing hardmode (custom built with game+) right now. I see 3 major advantages, esp. in early game: 1) Low fuel consumption 2) faster, more agile 3) unlocked auto winch - truck recovery cost hits hard in hardmode.
I think they are very useful. I’m glad you think so as well. They just aren’t a huge part of the game
As someone that started playing recently , i do use Scouts quite a lot and honestly i love it.
I did start on New Game Plus with a lot hard settings especially stuff that make feel cheat in a sense , like selling stuff etc ...
I will say this, i am playing the game for a week or so and still using the Fleetstar F2070A , don't judge this truck is special to me , the first time i got AWD and Diff Lock on it and UOD II tyres , it felt to me i can do anything with that truck and yes i did haul that huge construction station with it ,in Black River Map ,and it was like an hour figuring out the path lol because when i tried to go up the cliff close to the Lumber Mill i found out the hard way i just didn't had the engine power to do it haha , anyway love your reviews man
Glad to hear that you have been playing the game that way. Most folks just reach for the best trucks in the game right away. Thank you for that comment
That's the way to do it. Get creative and experiment. Have fun, and do things that would be outrageously risky and / or expensive irl. Heck yeah, see what you can get out of the old beater you dragged out of the swamp!
I love watching the TUZ just eat up any terrain to take a break from winching around the big trucks.
The Tuz is quite crazy yes lol
booyeah! Thank you for all the work you put into these tier lists. Scout 800 For Life, Brother Yeah!
Any time!
I like to play with scouts and I usually use American trucks in America and Russian trucks in Russia. The loadstar was my go to American scout before the additions of the f750.
Honestly the CAT is surprisingly good,true it doesn't have any suspension so it literally feels like driving a normal truck with collapsed suspension but it performs rlly well. The two things i wish the devs changes were:
1. give it trailer support even if it is just scout trailers it'll still be decent having the 2 slot trailer flatbed and maybe the ability to haul some fuel or suppiles
2. make it so the fork acts as a 1 slot platform and the cargo can be "packed" on it basically locking the cargo on the fork cuz as it is it just feels way way too finicky to use even if you don't mind the slow nature of it and just want to RP the damn thing is so awful to use it drives you nuts,by the time you loaded 2 cargos you probably would've delivered it across the map 3 times -_-
Also imo most scout vehicle tires should have their codings doubled,scouts suffer most from lack of grip and no1 ever sees the codings anyway so most ppl will assume they're grippier cuz they're lighter which is indeed the feeling a scout should give you if you played the original spintires you know what i mean. Sadly in this game scouts are almost useless other than some small mandatory scouting which sometimes is worth doing but most of the times you do it with a truck anyway AND RP purposes. Having better unique tires would be good for scouts, higher values than normal trucks since the scout tires are used for scouts only anyway and boom scouting and scout vehicles are great again.
I dont know if anyone else has experience this but the Tuz 166 will randomly stop for no reason, its like it hits an invisible patch of mud and struggles to get out of 2nd gear even if I am driving down a stretch of highway. It seems to always happen as I am passing the liftgates of any garage.
Thats really odd.. I know the archaic gearbox has trouble with getting out of 1st gear in heavy conditions, but on pavement seems weird
@@NProvince Thanks! Ill try switching the gear box...I tried to find a solution on reddit but it seems like no one else has this problem. Not a big deal, there are other better scouts, I just like how small it is.
First thing I do on every map is scout the map with the prototype scanner trailer and on the really bad maps I'll use my tuz to pull my scout with the prototype trailer hit all the watch towers and use the trailer to fill in the blanks every one of my maps is fully scanned an uncovered apart from a few of the newer maps as I haven't quite gotten that far yet took a big brake from the game and came back to like 3 new regions and another one coming out real soon so gotta catch back up 😂😂
Tuz 166 is my go to for real scout purposes and the F 750 gets used as a truck above its class
Nice!!!
Great Video man Thanks.
You're welcome :)
I use the actaeon a lot for scounting even though its not a scout class. I have 3 of them one for gas, on for single slot cargo and crane and rhe orher for repairs.
The Actaeon is really strong at that
Nice video Nathan! I’ve been away from the game for over a year but starting to play it again now. 😎 For the Loadstar and F 750 you prefer the UOD II over the JAT tires? I thought JAT was supposed to make the scouts better? Which JAT tires would be best for the Loadstar and F 750? Thanks in advance if you can help me out with this choice! 🙏
Thank you! I do prefer UOD2s over the JAT tires for these because I feel they are both really stable already. The loadstar and the F750 have Truck tires not scout tires so it’s a little different. If you needed more lateral stability with those trucks (I don’t think you do) then the JAT OMD3 is a good pick. Hope that helps
@@NProvince Ok makes sense with those truck tires, great insight and thanks so much for the reply! 👍🙏
Wrangler forever man! Such a fun way to scout maps!
Indeed :)
You said Apache was like the Yar? Not really, the Yar doesn't have 2WD at all. It's either 4x4 (front and middle axle powered, rear axle off) or 6X6 (all axles powered). So the Apache is the only truck that strickly goes into FWD when AWD is turned off.
Pretty good list. I hold the Chevy CK1500 is higher regard then the Hummer H2 though. 1500 has great balance, even before the JAT's it made it through so much more mud and snow then I would have thought. Everything from floating across rivers, to getting much bigger trucks unstuck. Mud, water, power, balance, can have full supplies and still hook trailers, 1500 has it all. Only thing that does it is it's one of, if not the thirstiest light 4X4 scouts with it's top engine. But it's roof rack gives it enough fuel to not make this a severe issue at least.
Hummer H2 isn't bad, but 1500 has overall impressed me just so much more over the past 3, going into 4 years.
TUZ 166 is great, a highly underrated little beast that car is.
Ahh yes thats right the Yars 2 front axle fire when AWD is toggled off. However I did cover how the Apache has 2WD when AWD is turned off. Good catch on that one. Glad you enjoyed the video and you have great points on the CK1500 as well
How does the Rock Grinder compare to the Jeep Wrangler? They both have crawler suspension - is the rock grinder a viable option for my main scout on hard mode? I only have the OG vehicles and year 3 season pass
The rock grinder definitely isn’t as good as the wrangler. It can handle the year 3 maps easily I think, but it’s rock crawler suspension isn’t on par with the wranglers imho
As I have been exploring maps, keep in mind I just finished Michigan and I started Alaska, I have been using the Crocodile (DLC) to explore maps for a few reasons. 1) It has great ability to go through terrain and it's still low enough to with a suspension raise to go under and between trees. 2) I like having a low saddle on it so as I am exploring I can move trailers to complete the simple tasks and make some money while exploring. 3) as is still has a hitch to pull dolly trailers so I can move fuel trailers such to areas that would be better for having my trucks out in the world. Anyone else do this?
The croc can be a really great multipurpose truck :)
🚛💨 Looking for a Scout truck tier list in SnowRunner? While everyone's preferences may vary, some popular choices include the Khan 39 Marshall, the Chevrolet CK1500, and the International Scout 800. These versatile vehicles will help you navigate through challenging terrains and complete your missions with ease. Happy scouting! #SnowRunnerScouts #TruckTierList #OffRoadAdventures
Good choices :)
Ah, the Tatarin, my favorite lawn dart. I have an uncanny ability to accidentally send it off a cliff
Lawn Dart! Lol that’s a new one! :)
My S class are Ford F750 and International Loadstar.
They are not the most op but very versatile and cool american classics.😅
Those are def S tier :)
loadstar is my fav, such a nice truck
I feel like the Scout 800 was done dirty, id objectively place it in B, personaly A.
Mostly cus of its massive range/silly low fuel consumption.
With roof rack I believe it had or close to two refills of its fueltank, right setup and itd use tiny amount of fuel.
It could get through most terrain, thin so even forests.
Biggest downside is stability with roofrack, but not putting it sideways on hills/electric winch negates that to the most part.
Oh and it sucks at pulling trailers, but need to for scouting alone.
My subscription button seems to be broke. I know for a fact Ive subbed to you more than twice.
I appeciate that!
What sorts of jat tires do you recommend on these?
To make it simple. For scouts JAT MS tire will be good for most smaller scout
@@NProvince Thanks!
I love the tierlists
Doesn't the yar have the front and middle axle when not in AWD?
Yes it does. I forgot that it’s AWD toggle off was it’s front 4 wheels
@nprovince All good man. I love your videos and have been watching them for a while. So much knowledge in your head you are allowed to forget small things.
do the torque and weight values have any effect on gameplay?
For scouts, since they can’t really haul much I would say it matters a little less because they just don’t weigh a lot. Now weight on the other hand is very important because weight=increased grip, but decreased power to weight. However scouts never really have issues with power to weight. Scouts that are heavier show to handle trailers better. Lighter scouts just don’t handle them as well due to the trailer weighing more or as much than the scout itself. I hope that kinda makes sense. Torque values matter, but they matter more to hauling class trucks that can put cargo on their frames or saddles more
@@NProvince thanks!
I wish they would give the M916A1 the ability to tow scout trailers.
Hey, do you have a link to the truck images you used in your tier lists? The ones with the trucks' names directly on them are very helpful in differentiating between them!
They are from maprunner website
@@NProvince Edit: I see them on maprunner, except the text at the bottom isn't actually a part of the images; when I go to save them I just get the raw image of the truck without the text across the bottom. Did you have to do something special to capture the labeled images?
Fantastic 🤩🤩🤩
Which engine gives the TUZ 166 the best mpg? They're all rated S in game.
I believe the first engine is the most efficient. I’m currently out of town or I could give you a full breakdown. Honestly, all the engines are pretty good
Thanks
I call the Tatarin simply "twenty". No matter what ground, no matter what you tug, it ploughs through with 20 km/h.
I like it! Thats a good lil nick name!
F750 for trailers, Loadstar for everything else.
Can someone explain to me what "super conditions" are?
Super Conditions, are areas of the deepest snow or mud where only a few trucks in the game can traverses based on their tires size &/or tire width
@@NProvince Thank you ❤
when you talk about a truck being able to traverse superconditions, what does this mean?
Super conditions are the deepest places of mud/ snow in the game. There really are only a few trucks in the game that can cross them naturally without help from some sort of extra wide bouyant tire. After Season 6 these areas have essentially died off or have been very very few and far between that it’s not a thing as of late, but during the Year 1 pass and a few seasons into the Year 2 pass they were present. I hope that answers your question. I could show you sometime on stream as well so that you get a visual
Could you do a video on what you think the best truck for each type of is please? (As in hauling, logging, water transport, and so on)
While this would be a video I could do. I’m
Not necessarily a fan of videos like that because it encourages folks just to use the best of the best. This channel really tries to highlight all trucks and encourage folks to use a lot of the options in your garage. However on my reviews of each truck; in the conclusion portion of the videos, I give my recommendations on what to use the truck for
@@NProvince I actually thought about this idea a bit more after I made the comment, and I think what would be a better video would be a video going over the most fun truck to use for each type of job. Maybe not the best, but the one that will be able to get the job done (...eventually) but even though it may not be the very best for the job it'll be the most fun and interesting to use.
I think the main reason I'm asking is because I've been using the Mastodon and it's a great truck, and can do pretty much everything so I'm using it for pretty much everything apart from scouting, but I would love to use a bit more of a variety
I like your thinking, both of you folks. I suspect there's potential for video topics here, with a bit further discussion and development.
Like Nathan highlighting jobs the trucks are suited to, maybe a video on X job, with a handful of trucks recommended. Maybe an easy mode truck, a decent challenge truck, any that make the task hilarious or absurd in some unique way, hidden gem trucks that one might not consider for the task, other sorts of categories like this, apart from "best".
A series on getting more enjoyment and variety out of your tasks, rather than making them as easy as possible.
Snowrunner does seem to have alot of these mid range trucks and scouts where they have enough to get the job done but nothing really special about them that makes them worth using.
I think the midrange mid class trucks are quite awesome to use. Maybe not the scout class, but even those, I’ve had good success with most trucks. I tend to stay away from the higher tiers
@@NProvince Personally the most fun I have with Snowrunner is blasting down roads going as fast as reasonably possible. Its just more fun when I'm barely hanging on to the road watching the russian pavement consume my suspension.
Imo Yar is very good but really tippy, most of the time i can winch and put it back on its tires but it tip a lot.
Tatarin insane (broken op imo because of tires mud stat 8 i ended nerfing it down to 4 : still very good) but fuel consumption quite high
Loadstar is very good but 41'' tires isn't enough, it'll stuggle in medium mud/snow.
F750 very good but quite big and can become tippy with roof addon (like most scouts) so i only put non roof addons.
Gotta crazy a question what is, super conditions?
Super Conditions are basically the Thickest Mud &/or Snow In the game. These areas have vastly reduced in occurance since the Year 2 maps. They really arent in many areas
@@NProvince ah Thank you
I liked the burlak when I found it. I took it to kola and now I hate it.
how can i get jat tires?
That is a downloadable DLC called the Jack of all treads
I personally don't think the burlak should be a scout, there's nothing that really requires it to be a scout, if you look at say the tatra 805 that is a off-road truck, if you put them side by side it dwarfs it
Good point
Now I have an excuse to use yarr or tatarin on year 1 pass maps
I would try the loadstar in there with a scout fuel trailer as well
To me, there is more to it than simply the capabilities of the vehicle. I will take my scout 800 over any other truck any day, Just because I like the way it looks, it's more of a challenge, especially on uneven surfaces. I have other trucks that are faster, less tippy, have more power but I only use them if I actually need that capability for a specific task
I agree that you should not simply use the best all the time or the game will get boring. That i will agree with. This list is simply a ranking of what trucks I felt were strongest with respect to class structure and I felt the performed within my perception of that structure
I love these videoss
I still stand by Tatrin, F-750, Loadstar, and Burlak 6x6. The rest are F tier and not worth using unless you have no other option. The rest bog down the second you hit a hard pack dirt road. Feels like driving on racing slicks with the power of a prius.
Lo4f is the 🐴 s+++ 😉
I wish Ford F750 would have a switchable tow hook like the Burlak
Switchable tow would be wild right
IMO the Burlak is at the top of A. It drives frustratingly slow because it just can't put what little power it has down on any uneven terrain. It just ends up spinning one wheel at the speed of low+, so actually switching to low+ and using diff lock usually doesn't help all that much. Same issue with the T813. Also the inboard winch points effectively make it almost impossible to upright by itself. Great tires, onboard fuel and repair, efficiency, and scout trailers bring it up to A.
Besides that, good list and vid. Glad to see the bread loaf in A. Only recently discovered how good that and the Loadstar are. Wish I discovered that before I was over halfway through all the seasons.
I know this was before season 13 but, I really enjoy the aac. But the best scout in the game is clearly the step crocodile! Jkjk
Croc and the AAC are really legit :)
i still use my scouts to reveal the map and grab upgrades and the Loadstar is my baby, shes my snowpig, because its ugly and the engine sounds like its grunting
Glad someone still uses them
Get yourself a LO4F. ;-)
LOADSTAR OR NOTHING!!!!
The Kahn Marshall nerfs i will never understand why they desided to nerf it the way they did. At the release of the game yes it was very OP for the terrain available at the time i dont think there is anyone that used it back then that would disagree on that. But slicing the fuel tank nearly in half was the dummest nerf possable. The last thing u wanna have to worry about in a scout truck is running out of fuel and thats exactly what that nerf did to it. If u could hook up a scout trailer to it it wouldent have been such a bad move but u cant so the nerf took it from being an easy S-tier scout to borderline useless unless u know u got a fuel station or a trailer on the map where u need to go.
Yet it even has a scout trailer hitch modelled on its rear bumper
AND in the truck file it even got a line saying ExcludeAddons="scout_trailer_flatbed_1, scout_trailer_flatbed_2, scout_trailer_oiltank", so what about the rest of the scout trailers?
........like wtf
@@iSkiLLeTXx Yeah not sure how they missed that part for a preorder vehicle. In the wiki it says under scout trailers.
"Can be towed by scout class vehicles that have a Scout Hitch" and also list the scout class trucks that cant use it as they lack a hitch so the Khan only has the hitch visable as a none functional model. Its almost like they noticed how powerful it really was before launch so instead of changing the model they edited out its ability to attatch a trailer.
khan 39 marshall is the best scout in my opinion
The Burlak is like F tier. The engine is so weak, it struggles in even very light mud.
Locking its DIFF with 80K torque and those tires will alleviate that. Also Towing cargo with a scout is also not really a good idea due to the trailer weight and the cargo weight being much heavier than the vehicle and load weight on vehicle axles. Hope that helps. This article explains how hitch trailer with weight impede performance forums.focus-entmt.com/topic/43997/terrain-physics-blog
no vehicle should be nerfed if there is mods in the game
I was rather excited about another high quality NP video despite its length until in the very beginning you stated that this is done WITHOUT JAT tires. Why on earth? Anyone serious enough to watch a half hour video about scouts WILL certainly have the JAT pack or will buy it after watching the review but you intentionally leave them out? They don't even have a level limit if I recall correctly so anyone can use them. Did not bother watching this as grip info will be outdated.
This was done because it’s already known from the JAT tire review that the JAT MS3 tires scale up each vehicles performance. Even with the JAT tires this list wouldn’t change. The vehicles have been thoroughly looked over. The JATs only real advantage on smaller scouts is to allow them to not sink down to their frame and adds lateral stability across the board. Tire coefficients are not the whole story when it comes to performance from info from Saber and also testing offroad tires compared to mud. While my views are subjective, they are backed by testing, info seeking, and gathering information from data miners to bring a product that I believe will be beneficial to make players better and for no reason other :)
I know I'm gonna get a lot of hate for this but the loaf is just not that good and I never see myself using it.
I understand why people like it, the novelty factor is there and it's cute and all but it's not a very competent scout on harder maps.
It's not all that stable either, it definitely lands on its wheels extremely easily but I wouldn't say it's hard to flip.
Hey man, it’s ok to have an opinion, you’re safe here. We all have different experiences
The loadstar is SOOOOO overrated. I chose the hummer over it in a heartbeat
Okay.
I liked all the other lists. They felt a little rushed, but... Fine 90% of the time.
But this one... Come on, it was a sloppy job. You didn't even bother to say the name of some trucks and didn't go into detail about most.
The other tier list were not rushed actually nor has any of these if you look at the length of past tierlists (prior to the newest installments). I've been working on placement and what I was planning to say since the Year 3 maps started coming out. I dont feel I need to repeat things I've already said on Truck Reviews. Keep in mind these are tier lists, not a truck reviews. If you;d like more info, like I've said on all my tierlists videos (new and old) please go look at my reviews on them
Rushed? Like, what? Nate, tell him to suck exhaust pipe!
What r u talking about?
