I am doing now a job of logs in Black River,i will bring 3 medium logs to the deposit and farm with CAT 745G and i will prepare Pacific P16 for long logs to carry to the deposit. I need to know if it's capable offroad without AWD because i want to make it my long log work truck,if it's not i go with Azov 64131 or White Western Star. Later i have worse places to take logs like quarry in Smithville,a nasty trap.😅

[@KoruptDawg]

Pro #6: Best. Horn.

[@NProvince]

Darn! Ya I agree! it is

[@pintail102]

Wish I had found this video sooner. The Pacific 16 has a load ratting of 510 tons or 300,000 pounds. It is a massive beast.

[@NProvince]

That’s amazing. I’ve see a person stand next to one and it looks like a behemoth

[@eightosaurusspelunk1598]

It's 150 ton, not 510 ton. Still a huge amount of weight.

[@synninideinjection2127]

Basically, it's a monster. I got the free one and never looked back. It's a beast as long as you can handle it, it's my go to for all the heavy high saddle mission trailers cause it will pull them all without hesitation or trouble. I wish it would get what the GMC did and get a AWD upgrade, but it would instantly become the most powerful heavy hauler in the game, but I can hope.

[@NProvince]

It truly is in my opinion the only truck without AWD to thrive in the game. If it did get AWD... It would be on ZiKZ level of performance or better. Such a monster of a truck!

[@joaogomes9405]

Honestly, upgraded with the top engine it has so much power and so much grip with those tired that it doesn't need AWD. It just pushes through everything in its way like it's not even there.

[@josephtaylor5909]

I drove mine immediately after finding through a river bed and mud it was like a basic road and then so hauled a maintenance trailer across a map through everything and it just hmmmd shifted gears when needed and never got stuck. The weight is a huge plus and the engine before upgrading was beast then it was Godzilla and it makes up for everything that would make you skeptical seriously drive Godzilla.

[@readmedotexe]

I overlooked it too on my first play through but did not sell it. Learned its worth in Alaska when I took it out of storage in desperation. It was the only truck in my fleet that could haul the construction drill rig trailer through the mud field on the way out of the service site in North Port. Even when it seems to be sunk and stuck, it suddenly finds grip.

[@NProvince]

Glad you busted it out again. It does have a lot of flaws, but it can be useful in a lot of ways for sure

[@eoghanoriordan2818]

“Ok, now onto the the pros, pro number 1: it’s the p16, enough said.”😂

[@NProvince]

Nuff said!! Great comment! Love it!

[@martindelage9528]

Yup, it is insanely powerful, i just got it, and i've only used it for one logging contract, but managed to get 4 medium logs from island lake to drummond island in only 2 trips, it feels nice hauling two trailers at once and actually moving forward. Don't mention turns tho, i prefer to forget those

[@outlawdogbobgaming2603]

I love that truck along with the pacific p512 pf, those 2 trucks are the 2 I use the most and think are the most use full.

[@NProvince]

Same here :)

[@chronokel11]

Man, I've rolled this sucker a couple times and it's devastating each time. Had to get good with heavy crane to get it right

[@NProvince]

Man, I cant even imagine how hard it is to flip that heavy beast over. Even with the heavy crane it probably was tough

[@chronokel11]

@@NProvince chat helped a bit but it was in a hell of a spot. Another pro I think is its surprising low fuel consumption and large tank. You'd think it would drink the fuel but it's fairly efficient. I guess that's cause it's so slow lol

[@NProvince]

@@chronokel11 I absolutely agree! Looking back now that you mentioned it, Thats a huge pro that I overlooked. It seems like some vehicles with the Advanced special have decent consumption. My wishlist tho is an AWD for it tho lol

[@rondoclark45]

The only way I could flip mine back over after it slid off a low wooden bridge was to wedge my Paystar against various trees to maneuver it away from the bridge and finally flip it back up.

[@TheSchwarzKater]

It has also one of the most satisfying horns.

[@NProvince]

You are absolutely correct! 💯

[@vladvulcan]

the best!

[@davidut55]

Even upgraded its struggling, had the 8x super heavy trailer loaded and clean asphalt uphill, just no wheel spin nothing, just growling engine. Had to tow every time with the articulated CAT, rebuilding paper factory.

[@NProvince]

The Issue is its underpowered, 210k torque isnt enough. It honestly should have the CATs engine

[@gameboy3800]

i just speedran geting the p16 in hard mode and was able to yoink it in like 1 hour. time to make all the truck rescue missions of early game a breeze

[@fridayisgaming]

Right On! The mighty P. It’s cool that you decided to give this truck a review. Although I disagree as to the number 1 upside, the best thing and the number 1 upside is the horn. LMAO🤣. That horn has medicinal properties.🤘😬🤘

[@NProvince]

I stand corrected #1 should be the horn for sure! Ya I wasn’t the smartest player when I first started but thankfully this game has high replay value :)

[@gameboy3800]

p16 holds a special place in my heart for singlehandedly destroying every kola map like it was nothing. seriously more people need to at least try it out. it doesnt have awd, but thats because it doesnt need it.

[@NProvince]

It is very strong even without AWD

[@sokol5805]

Good review as always. A truck that maybe has gone under the radar of a lot of people. But as soon as i saw it with that wide frame i said this is the perfect truck to tow and never look back cuz it will not flip.

[@NProvince]

Thank you! You’re right, it is hard to tip, and it’s just a good vehicle, but lacking AWD doesn’t make it appealing to the masses, but it does a good job with what it has for sure :) I actually completed the last mission of Season 8 with it on Stream and it didn’t break a sweat :)

[@Pizza_2921]

Could you imagine if the P16 had awd? It would be an absolute BEAST!

[@NProvince]

It would be :)

[@gavinwavy9132]

Love the p16, always a go to when I need to pull something heavy through rough terrain, with the tires, it seems like it will go through most things, albeit slowly but consistently :)

[@joetroutt7425]

The Derry longhorn that you rescue out of the creek in Alaska is a pretty strong truck. It has awd. Its a heavy hauler like the p16. The turning radius also sucks. Plus it has way more add on options.

[@NProvince]

The Derry is a good truck as well. They both are

[@corynelson1803]

First off thank you for your service as we celebrate July 4th. I have let you talk me into trying this truck again and I have to say I am impressed. I like you overlooked it. Question however I believe this and the p12 have the same engine why does the p12 seem so much weaker. I know tires are different but it seems almost night and day difference. Keep up the good work we all appreciate you and your reviews.

[@NProvince]

Oh man thank you so much! I definitely overlooked this due to lacking AWD. So to answer your question; The P12 does have the same engine and similar weight and very true it does feel weaker, but this is because the P16 lacking AWD forces all its power to those rear axles 100% of the time, while the P12 is spreading its power across 6 axles. I do think the P16 also feels good with those tires as well. Thank you so much again for this comment!

[@RampantFury925]

This thing is almost impossible to roil over. i love it.

[@scenebabe06]

i fell down the same trap with this truck. i was turned off by the lack of awd but i first used it in wisconsin and my god, what a beast. i find myself blown away by how quick it moves through water and deep mud despite not looking like it would be able to

[@NProvince]

Glad you gave it another shot! It has its issues, but it’s a good time for sure

[@scenebabe06]

@@NProvince my issue with it is its struggle to retain high. it chugs along in auto really nicely but doesn't like to go up hills. it does much bette than the p12 though

[@readmedotexe]

@@scenebabe06 Agreed, definitely hates hills (and rocky terrain)

[@josephtaylor5909]

Just found this monster last night omg its like driving a house on wheels lol it compliments good patient drivers like me and the power and stability are scary. I drove it right away after finding it i couldn't wait and yes its slow and bulky but hey its supposed to be its made for huge hauls with huge trailers it will make you a better driver if you're not already and you'll love it.

[@NProvince]

It definitely surprises you. Amazing tires!

[@v4skunk739]

One of the best trucks in the game, doesn't even need awd. Also very fun and sounds good.

[@NProvince]

Amazing horn as well! :)

[@vodkawhisperer3923]

i looked away for a second and flew off the edge with this truck. it didnt flip. i just dif locked my way up the mountain with no problem

[@mohamedmegahed1721]

thank u man, your reviews are amazing

[@NProvince]

I appreciate that! Really glad you find them useful :)

Great truck to be a favorite! I love this thing. I’ve watched some videos online of this doing real life loggin.

[@OG_BiggieCheese]

@@NProvince Same here

[@anoxmuos1404]

i can't believe that you sold this for cash haha 😂 that is like a huge power spike early game not to mention its iconic truck even if you dont know alot about trucks... anyway it's really fun lookin back on your old vidoes 👍

[@NProvince]

Yep. That was me. KZbinrs in 2020 promoted other A / S tier trucks to make the game easier and i folded. Im glad that I actually started making my own content or maybe I woulda never learned all this stuff

[@0ptera]

Pro#7: highest saddle in the game, tied with Kolob 74760. Other trucks often have issues with the Superheavy Semi-Trailer high centering on crests, or get caught on roots. P16 and 74760 ride it high enough to get over most of those.

[@NProvince]

I think the BOAR has the 2nd highest saddle the last time I took a look. I believe the new Derry will be able the same height at the Kolobs which would be nice as well

[@thedrop1454]

That's true! The best non AWD truck at the game! 👍

[@NProvince]

Its a strong truck thats for sure! :)

[@nickyruso2786]

Please please do more dlc truck, damit do all the trucks, you are a fantastic reviewer.

[@NProvince]

LOL thank you for those kind words. I’m planning on doing the F750 next and then the Tatra Force T815-7 and then more to come after that

[@albertpietrosanu2667]

That truck save me the game at beghining!

[@Paladwyn]

Missed a Pro: That horn.

[@thunderouswarn1339]

Love the power of it but have had it launched into the air for some reason twice now, thing spun around in the sky without coming down until I recovered it, haven't had this issue with any other truck (sometimes physics will be strange but never multi ton trucks flying through the air except for the P16, still good for logs though just don't get any obstacles like tree stumps or guard rails under it if you can avoid to do so)

[@NProvince]

Thats really just a glitch or a bug. nothing really to worry about

[@thunderouswarn1339]

@@NProvinceAgreed, strangely enough only with the P16 in my experience, not to worry about but something to be aware of I'm lucky that the superheavy trailer was empty and I was close to the white valley garage or I'd been out 10K ish for the trailer I had on it

[@thunderouswarn1339]

Got some footage of the bug but only after it started so to anyone interested kzbin.info/www/bejne/nX7ElqKPhZqpi5o enjoy 3.5 mins of a bugged P16, a bugged superheavy trailer floating in the air, and of course my exceptionally poor driving.

[@sargesrecap2267]

When I play I use the p12 when I get in trouble and if all else fails I bust out the azvov

[@NProvince]

P12 is a good truck for sure. Good back up as well :)

Downside #6 if it tips over, it's almost impossible to get on it's wheels.

[@NProvince]

Fair point

[@hadesunderworld4203]

Believe it or not , I managed to tip it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I was at the quarry . I backed up with the log trailer end . It jackknifed, turned sideways , jetted me upwards , then sideways …. And boom , landed on my side … truck stalled … 🤣🤣🤣 had it for 90 minutes loll

[@NProvince]

Oh I believe it. Tipping it back over was probably a nightmare

[@davidut55]

Somehow i lost long logs add on for the p16, i installed some cheat for AWD but then the log carrier front got stuck under the truck. To fix this i had to sell the truck and buy back, since then no more front log carrier for long logs on this truck. Any idea how to fix this?

[@NProvince]

Ya man, Im not sure. I really dont mess with mods or file edits at the moment

[@Mr.Packwatch]

A little off topic but should I sell my yar 87

I think if you will not use it then sell it. It is a very very good scout.

Well because it’s mainly about game performance, but yes it does have awesome horns

[@kodaiyoung]

@@NProvince I know, was just joking a bit.

[@NProvince]

@@kodaiyoung LOL

[@SchazmenRassir]

You sold it on your first playthrough? Huh... And here I thought keeping and testing every truck would've been the obvious choice. Heh, different playstyles.

[@NProvince]

So if you did not know my first playthrough was 2 years ago. When everyone was yelling Voron, Tayga, Azov.. I fell into that trap. After I finished the Yukon my game file corrupted. After starting a fresh playthrough that’s when I started the channel, testing, and diving deeper into trucks

[@SchazmenRassir]

@@NProvince Ah. Yeah, that makes sense. Personally, on my first attempt, I decided to scout every territory and find all hidden trucks when I realized they existed. I tell you, trying to go some of the DLC maps with low level and thus few upgrades was a freaking NIGHTMARE.

[@marshadorn]

Really now? I just had the biggest disappointment of this truck after getting it. Steering this trucks is extremely laggy. I mean, I would expect that, considering it's a heavy truck. But it doesn't feel "heavy" to me but rather "soapy", if that makes sense. Feels like you're steering a sledge, not a truck with wheels, seems to me that despite the motor is in the front, even without cargo, the weight balance is off, even if that's good for mud on a RWD-only truck. However, the frustration was not caused by that, but bring long logs to the quarry in Smithville Dam and you'll see. I could deliver the logs, but apparently there's no way to get it out of there anymore, it got stuck on every exit. Now there's another 14k Trailer laying around somewhere. xD Anyway, why does that thing cost 14k anyway? I mean compared to the other trailers that are massive and cost like half of that.

[@NProvince]

So a few things. Its so wide and it does seem front heavy. Being wide and not having AWD hurts its steering because its front axles cant pull it through turns making gettin into those logging places in Smithville pretty rough. Weight on rear wheels does help to drive grip. Oh yes, those logging trailers cost a ton, but you can sell them back for the same amount of money. I definitely can see how it can get frustrating to drive because its so big and clunky. Are you just starting Michigan?

[@jasonrarick4649]

this guy not old enough for roll tape (I had to go back from Yukon to fetch the p 16)

[@NProvince]

Hey no worries! Glad you were able to go get that vehicle :)

[@machintrucGaming]

Hard to flip ? Yeah no I don't think so. Flipped it twice in an hour the first time

[@NProvince]

From my tests and some others, it’s a pretty stable platform, but we all have different experiences with this and that’s fair. I hope you still enjoyed the review :)

[@machintrucGaming]

@@NProvince Yes ! To be fair I didn't take the easiest route with it. I went along the lake, on smithville dam, the shoreline can get pretty steep at some places.

[@NProvince]

@@machintrucGaming Oh yes I have done that before and the same thing happened to me as well

[@silkroad1201]

I really wish it had AWD. It's supposed to the "ultimate logger" but even the International HX puts it to shame hauling long logs You say "P16", I say "P sa crap"

[@sloanhouseholder6169]

There is another pacific trucks much better than this it has and n the diff lock n u can change the tires unlike this one

[@NProvince]

The P512 or the P12? If you're talking about the P512; it cannot change its tires, but they are the same tire loadout as the P16. The P12 however; yes you can change up the tires. All these pacific trucks are really good. I've reviewed the P16 & P12, but in the future I plan on checking out the P512.

[@sloanhouseholder6169]

@@NProvince yeah the p12 is what I mean . I found the other on Drummond island n It wasn't bad either esp for logging they are logging trucks after all . Have u tried the new dlc trucks? The international is quite good even before u do and n diff locks

Oh ok! Yea I have recently unlocked the new Paystar 5600TS. I like it allot actually, but it seems very thirsty for fuel. I haven’t played too much with it, but I think it’s a good truck!

[@Ivane_Maskhulia]

Its horrible truck. You did right thing when you sold it in first gameplay

[@NProvince]

Well I think I would respectfully disagree if I may. Yes its not gonna be versatile like the offroad class, but its a focused vehicle that just needs to be very niche. The way the developers are making the new seasons (Season 8 & Potentially Season 9) this truck could be viable again
