Yeah that’s true! There’s definitely something not right with that fuel add on! I know the fuel trailer is also on its own rear axles, but that smaller fuel trailer that’s towable feels way more weighted than the fuel semi trailer!

It's hard to find day cabs transstars here in the states. Mostly sleepers. And I do see quite a few of them with cat motors done Cummins and some Detroit engines. But mostly were sold with cat motors. And the fun fact the sleeper transstars were two days cabs welded together at the factory to make it happen wanna get one. One day I will since am trucker. And those trucks are very good workhorses esicappally with the cat motors and a 13 spd Eaton fuller standard transmission.

Yeah good for you dude keep at it and you’ll have one one day 👍🏻! Some trucks in this game have had things like weight characteristics changed to balance or hinder them etc in this game, and this truck I don’t think has a very realistic weight balance etc in this, not that I think or really expected it to do well in the tests as it’s a highway truck, but I still think this could be given some love in the game and given some diffs or something!

I've done a few missions in it just because I could. It works fine for what it does if you find an excuse for it and want a little extra challenge or are in a mood. I actually did some ice maps (Mountain River IIRC) that were long deliveries off of main roads and it did fine. And actually it wasn't even until I got a wild hair and tried to haul down a road I had no business being on that I even had to use my winch.
@itsmrlonewolf4 жыл бұрын
Yeah exactly for what it is and what it tells you it is in the game, I wasn’t expecting miracles, and I’ve done the same as you, found excuses to use it here and there and I’ve had a lot of fun with it and it’s been fine! I may have come across a bit hard on it which I wasn’t trying to, I was just trying to compare it to everything else that’s available and kind of trying to put across that it is one of those trucks where you need to find the right excuse! But using the Jeff special and flying down roads I do take it for a lap every now and then lol! Personally I think it needs diffs or AWD! And they seem to make trucks weight a key balancing tool in this game, and I think this is overly light so it can’t always use all its power! If they added some more weight it would help a bit since it’s got the power to handle it! I do think it’s the “worst” of the 3 highway trucks, but not by much, and I don’t think it’s bad, but the higher ground clearance alone on the other 2 helps them! I was surprised how low this thing actually sat when I lined it up to the others

This truck definitely does better when you have some weight on the back end, but you don’t want to go through mud. I used this a little bit in my gameplay, and found it to be surprisingly good on anything but mud as long as it had some weight on the back. It seemed to take less damage from pebbles in the road then the Ford CLT. I was on a road trip this last weekend and saw one of these on the side of the road for sale, I didn’t buy it, but I’m not gonna say I didn’t want to. It doesn’t have a whole lot of use in the game, but I still have it because I just love the thing.

It is weird this truck can do some off-roading surprisingly. It is much better than the Ford or GMC in my opinion
@itsmrlonewolf4 жыл бұрын
Yeah there was a few places it could but not many, and there’s definitely most trucks that can do more off roading! But to be fair it’s not an off road truck, it says highway, and it’s priced as such! Personally I think it’s the “worst” of the 3 highway trucks, but that doesn’t mean I dislike it! I’d say the GMC is just objectively better now it has AWD too, and between the Ford and this, the Ford has more weight to it, so it can plant itself into the ground better and get more grip! One of the things making this struggle off road is because it doesn’t weigh much at all! It seemed to do better with cargo than without! But still would get beaten by most trucks off road! I still like it though and do drive it fairly often for a quick lap of a map or doing the Jeff special down the runway lol 👍🏻! If they showed it some love and gave it diffs or AWD, it would be nice though

Haha i admit it was a bit of an effort trying to get the footage and edit it into something that’s not a disaster lol! I almost abandoned it but figured either way it’s a review so I may as well just show what it does and go from there! Long story short it doesn’t like off roading at all! Which isn’t great in an off roading game lol! However it is pretty nice on the roads and tows trailers well and has good power etc! But without diffs or AWD it doesn’t stand a chance! It also doesn’t weigh enough to push itself into the terrain much! Yeah I bet in real life it’s a good truck! In its defence it says in its description that don’t take it off road lol, but on road it’ll do the job and it’s not lying! I’d definitely agree it’s on of the objectively worst trucks in the game scale! But I’m not sure I’d say it’s the outright worst, well it depends which way you define it! Like I’d argue the Derry 4520 is terrible because it costs almost £200k, and can’t even get up the first quarry hill, and is slow everywhere, and stalls out of high range loads, on or off road lol! But the Derry would beat this truck off road, and off road is a lot of the game! But this thing blows the Derry out the water on roads and dirt roads etc! Either way, it’s not one you need to run out and buy lol! It has its moments, can be a fun cheap toy to mess around with doing the Jeff special, or recovering trailers from roads, but that’s about it lol!

@itsmrlonewolf4 жыл бұрын
Yeah I don’t necessarily think that the chained are the outright best, I use them for a few reasons, 1, in the reviews it keeps the tyres fairly even between trucks and puts the focus back on the truck to see what it can do with those tyres, to try and keep it as more of a truck review than a tyre review, as so many people have their own favourites, but to try and keep that part as standard as I can! But I’ve also done testing with the tyres and on the container contest on drowned lands, I got consistently better times with the chained tyres over muds, and that’s on a muddy map! Again I’m not saying they’re outright the best, but mods have a tendency to wade through mud and it slows them down, the chained bit down better and cut through the sloppy mud quicker which meant I dropped out of high range less, and I think muds are too punished when it comes to “slippery” surfaces and I say slippery like that because some dry rocks in Michigan shouldn’t really be that slippy but muds act like they’re icy rocks too! Basically I’ve never not made it to a place with chained, that I could do with muds, and I’ve got to places with chained that muds can’t! Muds have their specific places they do better, but overall I’ve never had an issue with chained and they never let me down
