I really like this format of gathering all the trucks in the same class together and giving them a very brief no nonsense run down together, rather than reviewing them in 40 individual 20min videos.
K-700 is a better support rig then the K7M with a maintenance trailer I think. 6 or 8 spare wheels. Over 1000 repair points (800 from K-700, 350 from trailer) and similar fuel capacity to a fuel trailer. The maintenance trailer is also much easier to to haul around as it seems so much lighter. It's generally pretty easy to refuel broken vehicles, repair and tires is what really matters the most and the K7M has 200 less repair and I think less tires as well. K7M might be better at keeping itself going as it carries onboard extra fuel. But K-700 is better for support tasks and missions.
4 slots of cargo is indeed a very convenient thing, but the length and the unstable nature of this vehicle (especially when loaded with those 4 slots of cargo) can be a liability as well.Still the Twinsteer is a very very strong vehicle and one of the better off-road performers. It’s one of the original US trucks that we can be proud of in this game
@@clutch44444 honestly I would put it in B, or even C specifically because of how easy it can tip over, sometimes it just surprises you and tips over even on relatively flat terrain xD
Very nice, Nathan. I'd say the Boar is super underrated generally, it has just about the highest saddle in the game and I found it much more capable offroad than the P16, and it has a much better engine. It was fantastic for me on Yukon and is one of only a tiny number of trucks that can truly handle the 8 slot. I'd put it just behind the Dan. The Derry 4 is inferior to the Derry 3, as it's narrow tire set combined with the heaviest weight in game (28T) makes it sink in soft terrain up to it's chassis. That has never been a problem for me with the Derry 3194 and it's wide OHD set, it's also more stable and I've never wanted for traction. The 4520 still has major ground clearance issues and issues with axles locking up that the new engine hasn't solved. It's one of only a couple trucks I haven't bought back. The other is the Antarctic with it's horrendous steering, but as good as the CAT 745C is, it's less versatile than the Kolobs. I'd also swap the 49X with the 1430, the former is extremely versatile (one of the best in game with add-ons alongside the P512) and more capable off-road and just less frustrating to drive. The 1424 may belong in the off-road class. Granted, all these trucks should have the OHD set.
Thanks for the updated list. I'm going through a new game+ playthrough (exploring Year 2 conent which I havent done so far) and The Western Star 1424 and 1430 have quickly become some of my favorite trucks. No idea why they are listed as heavy trucks though, they should be heavy duty. However I'm using a suspension mod that tunes all the vanilla and DLC truck suspensions (and torsion moments) to more realistic settings (no more crazy bounces, and the trucks feel like trucks instead of toy trucks) this has a twofold effect. It makes the game both easier and harder depending on what you are doing, what you are hauling and how you drive. This mod leaves most of the trucks other settings untouched but it does give the 1430 it's much needed switchable differential locking. This doesn't make it overpowered, since many other trucks still beat it in most departments but it makes it a lot more usable in muddy conditions, where it usually suffers.
I personally would put the TwinSteer significantly higher. If you play on normal mode and you always want to leave a clean map behind you before moving on, this is the only vehicle that can carry 4 slots of cargo, deliver it, recover your truck and not having to worry about the trailer. ☺️ Besides that, with the 63” tires it’s just a monster at eating mud.
To me personally, the Azov 73210 is the true king of Snowrunner. Reliability, performance and above all great flexibility, it has the complete package. If I were limited to just one truck (besides a scout) to get through the various missions, I would start with the Azov 64131 and then switch to the 73210 at lvl 20, and I honestly think in that specific scenario the less flexible Zikz would be a downgrade to the Azov 73210. The Westernstar 47xnf1430 is awesome for medium logs, with the two dead axles lowered it is incredibly stable. Great truck. Nice list, overall I agree with you.👍
You just have to be careful with route choice until you get the active suspension in Amur. It doesn't like deep mud or climbing out of ditches if the nose is dragging. But love its versatility, best medium log hauler since it can do 2x medium logs and is still stable as can be doing it, and its turning radius is amazing such a nimble truck for being so big.
@@mrvwbug4423 Yes, you are absolutely right, the Azov definitely needs the active suspension. Otherwise his chin is really an Achilles' heel. Hmm, coming to think of it again, if I would have to complete the regions in order I wouldn't be in a hurry to go for the Azov 7. I usually switch between regions a lot in the beginning, first rebuilding the bridges everywhere, clearing the roads and grabing the vehicles and upgrades everywhere. Clearing the tunnel in Urska early game and getting to Cernokamensk from Cosmodrom with a not fully upgraded Azov 6 wouldn't be a problem though. On my first playthrough I did the bridge missions and tunnel in Urska with a Pacific P512 and a CAT CT681 and they both did way better than I expected.🙂
i'm not sure it's better than the zikz performance wise, but it's maneuverability and add-on selection about make up for it. it's pretty damn good off road and has the same engine as the zikz so they can both pull anything. the only thing i feel gives the crown to the zikz is its roof rack supplies and being able to walk through death snow and mud like the 42-20 and 745c.the 73210 sits too low to the ground for that stuff
If you go by versatility you'd have to put the CAT 745 and Kirovets tractors next to Azov Antarctic. They are fantastic rescue vehicles, but have next to no versatility. If anything the flatbed gives the Antarctic more versatility.
I believe To be versatile you actually have to be able to use the addons that are equipped. Versatility isn’t just addons imho. The Antarctic also doesn’t have the stability to be used in many areas other than deep Mud and snow. The CAT 745C and the K7M can be reliable support elite off-roaders. I do definitely see your point with the flatbed
@@NProvince True, the 745C and K7M with double tires are the most stable vehicles in game. However they all are held back from being a great support/rescue vehicle: * Antarctic cant use van or maintenance addons. * 745C has a terrible wade depth and cant use van or maintenance addons. * K7M with double tires is too wide for many places and with single tires it lacks traction to pull heavier vehicles out of sticky mud. That's why ZiKZ 605r is the best rescue vehicle when you have a stricken Kolob xD
Haven’t played season 8 yet due to my break from snowrunner. But I’m looking forward for the Kirovets K-700 as a support vehicle. And probably the Kirovets K-7m too
The way the K7-M plows through the death ice sections on Northern-Aegis is insane. It’s definitely the best off-roader in the game with the dual tires.
The NF 1424 has a roof rack, yes. But using it makes this truck so tippy. For example, you want to leave the garage in Maine, heading the fuel station. Bypassing the first broken bridge.... uff... Without the roof rack, it is more stable, but there are better options to do the job, and his brother, the 49X, is one of them :-)
Yep, that does make it sway for sure, that’s why I think using a semi trailer will help balance this truck by creating angles from truck and trailer to keep this thing on its wheels. Love the 49x btw :) Love the Western Stars
personally i don't find it to be notorious but it does sway a lot kinda like the 5600ts. even if it does tip over it weighs about the same as the f750 so getting it back to its wheels is super easy
Appreciate your effort in making the list but sadly I think 99% are using mods. The fun is lost in the main gameplay. I am not against mods, I use them too in rock crawling or mudbogging with friends on mod maps, even in the in game maps. If using mods for the missions, I feel like the real challenge is lost somehow. However, each their own.
I really like this format of gathering all the trucks in the same class together and giving them a very brief no nonsense run down together, rather than reviewing them in 40 individual 20min videos.
Well I do have both one is in depth and this one is very quick on where I think they go
Nate, you're doing a really great job on these tier videos.
Thanks Rob! I appreciate that!

@@NProvince Yeah, but it's tendency to tip is to keep it from being OP
Yes sir, that’s why I felt it wasn’t in the S tier
@@clutch44444 honestly I would put it in B, or even C specifically because of how easy it can tip over, sometimes it just surprises you and tips over even on relatively flat terrain xD
It's stability is legendarily bad.
Even on relative easy Phase 8 maps it managed to tilt and spill its load so often I rather went with other options.

The Western Star 47x NF 1424 has become one of my favorite trucks. It may not be the best option, but I find it really satisfying to drive.
I do thoroughly enjoy that truck too! I’m pretty bullish on the Western Stars

Indeed the Twinsteer is a monster
1:46 that's actually a good thing, when you consider how many logging missions are in the game now
Yea indeed, it makes logging easier for sure. It really is the safe route for logging

Any chance these gets a complete update now with year 3 being out? 👀 love the videos
I already am setting up videos of that kind for the year 3 trucks as well. Definitely am looking forward to those :)
@@NProvince am excited to see! Many new amazing trucks that has come to the game so it’s always fun seeing a tier list of them all
Love your videos!
Thank you!

That would be nice
Where is the ZikZ 612h?! 😢
That wasn’t part of the year 2 content. It will be in the next tier list for the year 3 trucks. That is coming soon

Sadly I do think mods have overshadowed the actually trucks in game
In my experience the Tayga is the best truck. Also good to use as a scout.
I listed the Tayga as the best truck in the Off-road class. I broke up truck into their respective categories. It’s a great truck!
