Project Zomboid CAR GUIDE! | All cars and their specifications | Build 41

[@aloneguy8527]

Good guide mate ! But just a few extras and corrections ; there's different types of gas tanks (small,standard,big) and mufflers(old,regular, performance) which determine the gas capacity and engine loudness of your vehicle so find the highest quality ones for your car ; also your max speed is based off your vehicle's engine power to vehicle weight ratio ; so filling a car with lootwill make it go slightly slower ; and heavy vehicles like trucks are generally harder to maneuver and turn around ; and i believe Chevalier dart with a performance muffler also has 21 engine loudness which makes it tie with Masterson horizon for the quietest car in the game ; and D6 and bulldriver trucks have 48 engine loudness with performance mufflers as well ; in my personal opinion ; ambulance is the best all rounded vehicle as it gives you high engine power ; high loot capacity ; sirens for Zombie attraction and luring all in one

[@Tetragramix]

This comment is as good as the entire video.

[@fierovitto445]

So helpful man, thank you

[@nobodyxx560]

I wish please very much make this comment into a video. I thought I would get this information from the creator but found it from you

[@Omni0404]

I learned about weight the hard way. I tried to drive a truck loaded to the max and connected to another car loaded to the max. I drove for 16 in game hours going 15 MPH through zombies. Total brown trouser moment. Loot hoarding WILL be the death of me.

[@badshootykat5574]

So my assumption of the type of part can be true~~ Performance = Good Regular = Balanced Old = Bad (avoid) What to say about the Suspension and Brake parts then?

[@Accurize2]

The horsepower of these vehicles are hilarious.

[@CyranofromBergerac]

D6 or a bulldriver for me. I'm kinda biased towards trucks though. It's nice to just throw loot in the back and not worry about opening the trunk.

[@joshuajoshuajoshuajoshuajo982]

My fave are pickups - common - can tow - can haul - can ride anywhere (and tow anywhere) - police variants are upgrades of an already good car Of course if i can get something like a franklin all terrain, mercia lang, or any of the higher hp cars that's ideal, but the convenience of a pickup lies in their commonality for being really good cars.

[@nerfherder4284]

I like the commercial vans best, but pickups are a close second. Ranger truck is my fav or ambulance. Trucks are great because access to storage is easy and possible from the sides.

[@nowherefool5869]

chevalier step van : wha.. what are you stuffing into my 160 trunk, step-driver?

[@Exneph]

Would totally love to see some comparisons in towing vehicles; especially through grass. We've all been there, trying to tow back a new vehicle and gotten utterly stuck in a horde.

[@nerfherder4284]

Fossoil Vans and ambulances are the best for power towing, off road speed and capacity imho. Trucks second. Tip, if you are slowing to a crawl when in the grass, sometimes stopping and accelerating from a standstill can regain speed.

[@jeremygonzal8603]

I reckon it depends on several factors. Friction of the tires which depend on the quality of the tire and how much it's inflated. The horsepower of the towing vehicle. The weight of the vehicle being towed. Obstacles like grass as well as zombie bodies definitely play a factor as well. Turning angle is also a factor. I've noticed you slow to a crawl when towing and turning, especially while on grass. Of course, momentum is also considered.

[@alphabee8171]

ambulances are 100% solid for power towing, also since there's automatic gears in vehicles so it usually goes from 1 -2-3 pretty quick depending upon the speed, the problem is there's more traction at gear 1 and slighty reduces upto final gear of vehicle so if you drive slower it stays in 1st gear and more likely to move then just getting stuck, also sometimes backing up a bit and then moving forward helps

[@Rodelero]

Thank you for the video, saved to my library to reference as I play.

[@ThePunisher0995]

Franklin all terrain is my fav and in my opinion is one of the best all rounder cars when you need a bit of everything in your car.

[@Tetragramix]

Yes.

[@ernestdebono207]

It is my favourite too but doesn't have a siren

[@user-ff4pi9dc3g]

tip of the video at the end honestly is something I never even thought about

[@Shiestyy21]

My man is a fan of phonk music

[@weibherrman]

TheZedSurvivor king of background music

[@SPACEBLUD]

The mini van ftw. 6 seats without friends is 5 extra mini trunks! Would love to see you do some of the modded vehichles too!

[@insomnia7337]

Agree, would like to see something about mod vehicles.

[@Tetragramix]

Make sure all of your generators wear their seatbelts.

[@nerfherder4284]

I feel that panel vans are better in SP as the storage is combined comparable and convenient. Often the commercial variants have lots of hp. The VW transporter MOD is pretty OP compared to an actual VW van.

[@djaccountisbfisbx3880]

Keep the front seats empty, it’s always handy to be able to enter the car from either sides.

[@SPACEBLUD]

@@djaccountisbfisbx3880 #thisishowyoudied

[@SirDavid290]

I always found the Chevalier Nyala to be a fine car, it looks good, performs well enough.

[@riftendrifter]

definitely saving this video, I can never remember which cars are the loudest or fastest when playing

[@XxDjinn420xX]

Love your "tip of the video" segments.

[@nerfherder4284]

Certain vans, ambulance or fossoil vans have a lot of power and storage. They are quick to pick up speed and handle well off road, tho they can tip around corners. Engine loudness has a lot to do with RPMs so tapping the gas or using speed control lowers noise. Tip, if you empty and remove the gas tank it can be repaired with metal sheets restoring it's capacity.

[@Omni0404]

Perfect video. Dense with info, fun game footage, and sick music 😍

[@ranianour9282]

Should've also mentioned how rare each car is; Franklin all terrain is uncommon at best and very rare at worst. I've yet to encounter one throughout my 80 hours of playtime

[@user-ld3ny2yp2y]

I've found it only on a very specific location North West of Rosewood. There I came across a Franklin with one of tires pulled off, with a spare tire, the tire crank and tirepump spread around it. They obviously got stuck on that road and never made it away because mid tire change they got overwhelmed by zombies.

[@jaybee8862]

Lol I found one at the drive in theatre a few hrs ago...

[@badshootykat5574]

I was actually looking fo an explanation of the Performance, Regular, Old parts including its benefit for the vehicle. But right now I only see it as Performance = Best Regular = Balanced Old = Bad (avoided)

[@rafaelcastro.01]

I have a Cossette as a getaway car in my base. One generator in passenger seat, food, water, tools and basic gear in glove box and trunk. If shit hits the fan, I'm using it to bolt.

[@Whitewolf1984p]

then when you need to use it as a get away car you jumpin, fire it up, only to realise the battery is dead and it wont start XD

[@MyAramil]

The best settup I could say. Get a good variety of vehicles, you absolutely need something to haul loot to temp bases. But also getting to other towns would be good, so for in town driving get something that can carry a lot of stuff. Then when you need to get from rosewood to riverside, get the fastest most agile vehicle you can.

[@frooft6569]

Nice guide! Right now I’m collecting all car models which are available in the game. Right now I got almost more then a half.

[@DrandelSheep]

Useful summary, though 'miles' has the abbreviation 'mi' not 'm'. 'm' is the abbreviation for 'metres'

[@neobaggins3718]

I love k5 blazers and square bodies in general, so I always look for bulldrivers and D6s I’ll usually pick up a step van just for capacity too. If I find a cossette I’ll haul it back and try to restore it to showroom condition

[@mistwolf]

Man i'd love some deep dives into Brita's mods. I'm not a gun nerd and looking at the options for scopes and handles, supressors and compressors... i pick things randomly due to sheer overload.

[@djaccountisbfisbx3880]

I don’t care what car I get, as long as it’s in good condition, doesn’t stall on me in desperate situations, and has some decent inventory space I’m good

[@Derakon_]

I love your videos mate! Even if it's on things I already know! Keep up all the good work!

[@breaksmoke4956]

nice informative video appreciate it.

[@akikotachibana]

yeah 500 horsepower is like 20 ducks tied together

[@nebihznao1]

Great video. Would you be able to make a guide explaining the strength and fitness mechanics? Thanks.

[@gabrielalejandrosandovalvi5819]

you know, PZ is too realistic until you see the cars... also, _why_ in PZ exist ""performance"" mufflers than do the car less noise. even in this times "cheap or normal cars" don´t have 300+ HP. I hope they do some rework to the cars at some point cool fact: the corvette C4 of PZ has more power than the actual C8 corvette... "LS POWER BABY" i think

[@veled806]

I love D6 and ambulance too much, but cosette is also so tight and funny vehicle to drive. All terrain is good tho.

[@IIISWILIII]

My current character (burglar) lucked up and found a mint condish step van right out of the gate... Complete with an alarm ⏰

[@Casual_01]

car go fast ye

[@spongebob4043]

Not sure if this is correct. Going 120m/h, your engine is guaranteed to be at 5-6, which means it has to be louder than 36 loudness. Even as driving it at 45mph, it’s still super loud in game.

[@Neskess]

Franklin, Rancher and pickup

[@jordanzwicker3557]

Franklin all terrain, its rare and my goal most of the time, making it my fav

[@MadiTheGhost]

Great tutorial! Do you mind doing/ have you done a tutorial about the best things to do mid game?

[@reeceshugrue6167]

I hope in B42 armoring/weaponizing cars becomes a vanilla feature.

[@David_KAYA]

I've been playing this game for a year, and I couldn't drive that Cossette.

[@monsoon7034]

on our MP server me and my friend just found a green Cossette in really good condition except the gas tank with 92 engine quality

[@whisper6534]

Up!

[@Palerno6969]

What the zed do

[@insomnia7337]

Speed kills and I'm a packrat. I like Step Van or whatever is the biggest I can find.

[@SweepingJeans]

I’ve always like the Franklin All-Terrain the most but I can almost never seem to find any!

[@kojijoki2224]

try gatted comunity

[@Lithar1987]

the best vehicles are those of the services, in particular the ambulance

[@berniegran4785]

I dont think the Horse power is based on reality

[@larsolav]

Yeah. 360HP in that tiny dart would be insane IRL. My car IRL has 80HP lol.

[@k3x7z]

I wish the real life equivelant had that much horsepower

[@Star-zs6rc]

i cant tell if im stupid or if my game is glitched or what, but i cant shift up or down and when my car automatically shifts it doesnt go above 2nd gear

[@bmxdude1337]

I love my police bulldriver

[@loudradialem5233]

The stats are different from the wiki. Which is correct? I'm not a car person. They all look the same to me. How do you tell which is which?

[@DezZzO_YT]

I wonder what would be the best car + towed car combo in terms of capacity?

[@nerfherder4284]

Panel van with a big trailer.

[@isellcrack3537]

Where do you get the stats for the horse power? I`m assuming PZ`s wiki but do you have an idea whether it actually represents horsepower or if perhaps it could be some point system used by the devs? Not that it`s that important really it`s just seems weird that the average hp is about 400 which is just insane yet at the same time they can hardly reach 100mph. I would`ve guessed that it shows torque but that also doesn`t fit nor math or logic.

[@Drazja]

Guys worried about horsepower and speed I'm worried about how loud it is and storage capacity

[@jeremygonzal8603]

You should also include the popular vehicle mod package. I forgot its name.

[@HARRAWISH]

i hope they will add engine swapping to this game lmao

[@djocharablaikan8601]

Whatsupp with that music in the background? 🤣

[@Wolffjaeger]

Can you do the mod version? AutoTsar to be exact?

[@deatho0ne587]

Why do we care about horsepower, not like we are dragging or something else? I would also like to know the space in the glove box.

[@calcutt4]

Horsepower determines how fast it drives, how well it can tow, how well it can run over zombies and how loud the vehicle is All glove compartments hold 5 units IIRC

[@lukxd3225]

I might be mistaking something here, but aren’t there small trucks in vanilla too? With a box trunk that holds something around 300 units of weight?

[@calcutt4]

Maybe you're using a mod, because the highest capacity is the step van with 160 units in the back

[@BlueDon]

Now explain to me about engine loudness. Is that number based on tales? Because sometimes zombie doesnt care if there is a car running next to him.

[@calcutt4]

Loudness depends on the car and also the muffler, the higher quality and condition, the quieter the car

[@Aksu33]

So i have qusetion, which car is perfect and best for single play and for 2 people play. can you answer plaes also thanks for guide. i have idea you can make guide for place's example Maldro where to live or where start and second idea make guide for melee weapon and tools for kiling zombies. Im sorry for my bad english.....

[@eduardotrillaud696]

I think a pick up truck is the best answer in both cases. In Muldraugh, couple good places to live are: the 2-floor houses in the south-west, the apartment in the first floor of Cortman Medical Center, and the farm at the north, following the dirt road just west to the highway.

[@calcutt4]

@@eduardotrillaud696 Also the farm near the pony roam-o, has a well and a big house and has a thick forest and winding driveway between it and the main road

[@poggy6145]

no military vehicle?

[@bmxdude1337]

Not in vanilla, probably someday

[@omarsheriff51]

Chevalier Cossette is basically an audi quattro wtf lol

[@VitorCadari]

Police cars?

[@Cacowninja]

Basically the same as the civilian variants which is why he didn't cover them separately.

[@blueylucky6129]

HP numbers seem wrong man 😂

[@mauriciofreitas3384]

Uhm ... this video is literally a quick visit to the game's wiki, or simply search "project zomboid cars". Honestly thought there would be something different in this video than what the wiki already has

[@cryzz0n]

D6 or a bulldriver for me. I'm kinda biased towards trucks though. It's nice to just throw loot in the back and not worry about opening the trunk.
