I agree. I like both the azov 73210 & the dan & I use both of them. However, I'm more inclined towards the 73210 for the stability & good turning circle. It's 10 tires transfers all that torque into pulling power. That infamous muddy uphill in Zimnegorsk... is no longer a problem for the 73210. The devs corrected the collision factors. Sure, that low nose rammed right into the rocks of every steep climb. But slow down, push & the 73210 now ploughs through defiantly. Some may avoid the 73210 for the low ground clearance but I find it enjoyable to bring around once I know the terrain well.
I love the increased amount of uploads. You were not lying when you said you were going to upload more. You are one of the most honest youtubers I have ever found
Once I bought the azov 73210, I was really suprised with how good it was for the amount of negative feedback it was given at the time. I didn't even want to use any other trucks (even the DAN 96320 had to make way for it) The ground clipping with the azov 73210 is really not that blatant of an issue suprisingly. I rarely ran into troublesome spots and if there were, I never had to turn around and take a different route. The Russian Swiss army pocket knife has in my opinion the best versatility like you described it. Crane, spare tires, a flatbed and trailer... Even the option for the seismic vibrator module. It doesn't get any better than that. I'm happy to have taken a chance on the azov 73210 and I never regretted buying it
I don't get to game very often so cheers for this, I am at the stage now where I am looking for what is going to be a good choice heavy truck once I have saved my cash. Part of me wants to smash the container deliveries, but I love exploring the maps and always end up off piste climbing silly hills and squeezing between trees etc. I will concentrate on the tasks and earn enough one day!
The container delivery trick is good if impatient but I used it little myself. Exploring takes most of my time, I've actually not completed SnowRunner (although it's also because I'm making videos!).
I know this is our bonding point but best truck in the game! This truck is a must for the contract missions that require lots of different cargo. I once did three missions at once with it. Which included winching a vehicle behind a full sideboard bed and a full ramped flat bed trailer lol. Great video as always Ben.
Cheers Alex. I'm inclined to agree it could be the best truck in SnowRunner for versatility and price. If it had the P16/TUZ 420 mud tyre bonus it would be unstoppable.
I would go with Azov 73210 any day,i think it is more stable and although the suspension looks low it performs very well,can be used for medium or long logs too and has many usefull addons.
Ben,i liked that you told us about how you pay your bill and how you survive in these hard times...i was thinking to start a channel about aviation and aircraft simulators,but i have my ''real'' job for now and i am pretty satisfied with it...i am a car mechanic and i love to repair cars..sometimes i feel like quiting because i have to talk to every client for hours and to explain why and how i'll fix his problem/s...nowadays with All this information in internet everybody thinks he understands his car,but rarely this is true...and when he thinks he know how to fix it but ask me to do it for him its a problem...i can't explain all the reasons why this is happening,i am not that smart,but i am very good with cars and finding the problem,and fixing it... :) i wish for life going well for you,me and everyone,and i wish people were more peaceful and with good manners...i am trying hard to be like that,but sometimes its so hard when some guy talks s*it in your face and believes in it to be the truth...in your job youre doing it exactly like you want and thats sooo much easyer...yes,there is bad comments sometimes,but its nothing like someone coming in your house and tell you how to make this exact video,because he things its the right way...what you say about the money varyating from month to month,be sure this is happening everywhere...in my work is the same way...sometimes i have good paying jobs/repairs sometimes i am working all day for nothing and i hate myself for doing favors and ''small'' fixes for friends and old clients because everytime these small things are taking more time then we think and i lose money when i cancel a call or someone wants to fix his car now on the spot,but i am busy with some stupid/not paying thing...ive lost clients that way,new clients...i need new clients...some well paying ones :) soo i wish you luck and stay strong,work hard and keep the videos coming...
Mate, Kung Fu Hustle, haven’t heard that name in a long time. Should be up there with the greatest couch multiplayer games of all time. Good pick. Cheers!
Honestly, I LOVED it. The whole premise was great, multiplayer but on a film set with really cool settings. Would be perfect for a remake with online multiplayer.
Azov is definitely the winner especially under heavy load. Had them both in amur and the DAN always gets implanted in snow and mud due to fewer wheels which makes it struggle and waste lots of fuel which made me give up on it
I'd agree. The 73210 is best with that new large crane, which highlights its sheer power and wheel number. Even when reduced ground clearance it just seems to keep on trucking.
Both are good, but if I had to pick 1 I'd pick the DAN. Azov 10X10 may have more versatility, but it catches it's front to much offroad. DAN is overall better. Only problem with DAN is you can't have flatbed + crane.
@@ATribeCalledCars It's not the height really. If the Azov 10X10 had a shorter nose, it'd be a beast. But it's nose is so long you'd need a pretty drastic lift kit on to make it a true offroader, which would then ruin it's stability.
I have another Q&A question for you - what was/is your favorite "guilty pleasure" game. The one you may not talk about unless you'r directly asked about, maybe you'r a little bit ashamed that you enjoyed it, but it brought you so much fun that you still consider it as a "worth the shame".
@@ATribeCalledCars for me mudrunner/snowrunner is sort of such game. My wife does not understand what may be interesting in being stuck in virtual mud, and I'm unable to find a single explanation why does playing this game is fun, yet... it is SO MUCH FUN! But here, like on AA meeting we can talk about it...
I'm surprised at your dream car choices, I was expecting you to say the Aston Martin Ben-Tayga with a tiger king paint job and with a Tribe Called Cats bumper sticker
Seriously, I've thought about buying the rights. That with online play where you can come and go in different arenas all day would be epic. Of course, I'd need the robot you get at the end and the top-tier weapons, that thing shredded.
@@ATribeCalledCars Just for the extremely unlikely case that you're actually serious: Hunting down who owns the rights for Phantom Crash and its PS2 sequel might be a bigger hurdle than the price, given how relatively unknown the franchise is. If you do it, don't forget to contact MS that they can include it in their backwards compatibility program as they need the rights holders permission since their method of enabling BC technically counts as redistribution of the game. Who knows, a resurrected Xbox classic might turn out to be a good investment - even beyond the joy of riding a Photon again.
I made a typo in my Tayga tyre video, the MSH tyres seen on heavy trucks are best overall in mud. But I found the TMHS seem to do better overall than the MHS II and MHD III although it also depends on driving style as I said in said video. Surface area probably plays a role yeah.
Nice video :) grats once more. Is it possible to unlock Quarry easily at low ranks to get DAN ? I have both Tayga and Paystar but I am not sure if any of them can do it with just the very basic all-terrain tyres.
It's possible yeah. The mission Looking Beyond the Horizon mission involves delivering 1x metal planks, 2x service parts and 1x cargo container to the Radar Tower. That gets you into the Quarry. You also have to do the Geological Exploration mission, where you have to scan some areas using the Seismic Vibrator addon. And then find Mr DAN. Or something like that, it's been a while since I did it!
I put the heavy crane on the Dan and it's not great. Considered selling it and buying the Azov instead but I wasn't sure, as the Azov looked to be even lower to the ground.
@@ATribeCalledCars The issue I had was that the heavy crane was sitting so low the anchors were dragging through the deep mud and the DAN would get completely stuck. Part of me wonders if the 73210 would perform any better.
The DAN is more limited in what it can do but very capable. I sometimes use it for the really heavy stuff. The 73210 is better than the Tayga in many respects but it is less fun.
You clearly have contacts and influence with Mad Dog Games. Can you nudge them to add the Toyota FJ-40? I get that Toyota is never going to license it but they can call it whatever they want.
I want to try the Azov but if it's slower than the Dan, I might literally fall asleep. Forever. An I'd prefer to contribute to your ad revenue and help you buy beans on toast, so...

Azov needs a lift. Not even bigger tyres. That nose catches on everything
With a lift it would be OP. Well that and the 3.0 mud rating tyres on the P16/420. Dare to dream...
@@ATribeCalledCars maybe an active lift then??? 1 you cld raise the nose for steeper inclines...also ability to toggle fogs would be great

@@balto6538 Yeah it's great for anything, more versatile than the 64131 and more satisfying to drive.
Ah yes finally more solid snowrunner content😁 keep it coming amigo!
Definitely more to come, including a short news video later today. Thanks for watching.
Azov 10x10 gang, it’s the only azov I’ve used and it’s never let me down
You use it for all maps and missions??
Wtf dude gone in 60 seconds was an amazing movie. Both of them
I used to love it, watched the original recently though and it has not aged well. Fun chase scenes though.
Popped my first tire today...been playing since launch 😄 , loved it though. Any extra realism added is welcome for me
Cool isn't it. Collapsed suspension on some mod trucks is amusing too, makes the vehicle look like a low-rider.

I love that Dan it dosent like deep muddy water though
I call the Azov “The Shovel”. The thing catches any type of hill. Been caught out many a time with this major floor.
It used to be a lot worse.
The Vagrant Story mention caught me off guard! Phenomenal game!
So so good. I also loved the Breath of Fire games, Front Mission III and so many other RPGs.
I use the azov as a crane/recovery truck. The heavy winch is super useful
Very true!
I would go with Azov 73210 any day,i think it is more stable and although the suspension looks low it performs very well,can be used for medium or long logs too and has many usefull addons.
I still use it all the time, though the FEMM 37-AT and Kenworth 963 do also get a go.
What? I can't be first, there's no way... Also, Taguh Keng for life.
Seems like you are, you can mention this on your CV.
the 10×10 is bad cause the front hangout. dan is a lot better
Alex Zamfir the devs have made the front hang out less mudhappy but it is still not as good as that one of the dan in my opinion
Definitely a close fight, I seem to alternate between the two for most tasks these days. The lower overhang is a pain sometimes, for sure.

5:40 the trailer is having some fun
I had to repack the cargo so many times in Russia.
A Tribe Called Cars oops
Time for an Azov 7x vs Bandit video ;)
Dan is a crane truck, plane and simple. Suspension is too low for long haulin. Wide and low makes great stability for that massive crane though.
The Azov with a maintenance addon looks exactly like a snail.
That is something I now can't unsee.
For 5th gear put it in high then straight back to auto when you first start moving
Yeah good trick, I usually use this although it's less reliable when pulling something and/or on difficult terrain.
The dan because of the horn alone
Good point, I didn't mention it but it's a huge plus.
And the Engine Sound, i really love the Dan 😍
Both are good, but if I had to pick 1 I'd pick the DAN. Azov 10X10 may have more versatility, but it catches it's front to much offroad. DAN is overall better. Only problem with DAN is you can't have flatbed + crane.
Yeah they are so close, it's good because there's a reason to use both. If the Azov was a little higher, however...

It would be the best truck with this.
Dans crane is nuts,I think best in game
It just looks right too, it's my favourite crane vehicle.
Question: Why do you call it D.A.N? Wouldn't it be just simpler to call it Dan?
It's all capitals so an acronym plus it's based on the BAZ 6402 and that's also one. But it's not a real thing so could just be Dan yeah.
@@ATribeCalledCars Good ol' reliable Dan.
Does adding a crane aswell as a flatbed affect a truck?
Adds weight and reduces stability, yeah.
I like the azov but the low front end is the only bad thing
Yes it can be a pain, but it's good at making up time in other areas so balances out. Most of the time.
when the update will be available version 7.0 on snowrunner
This week or next, that's as specific as we know.
Last time I was this early I didn't even own a XBOX.... ^_^
But you owned a PS2 at least?
Can we use "proboscis" to describe the Azov well endowed nose?
That's a great word, definitely not used enough.
Do they don’t never flipped it cuz wides ?
I've not flipped either no, if that's what you mean. But it is possible...

Can someone help me in on xbox and I cant unlock the dan like the task won't show up ive got the gas at it and it won't work any advice?

PlayStation originally, but the third game was on N64 you're right (and was the only one that was).
