The Forgotten Classes of SnowRunner

3:48 for the record, fictional trucks are simply unlicensed trucks that have been slightly changed to avoid copyright laws, they are based entirely on real life trucks.

[@maverickf1426]

not on their cababillities tbh.

[@ДмитрийТитов-з3ф]

that begginer gmc highway truck with all upgrades is actually good. I also use bunch of heavy duties, I love them

[@nicksivert5431]

It's *VERY* ironic to have highway class trucks in game where there's one foot (0.30 meters) of concrete and asphalt.....

[@anthonyduffy6953]

Where is this concrete you speak of?

To be fair, Season 8 and Alaska have a shit ton of asphalt.

[@Gunner3K]

I found myself playing with highway and heavy duty trucks more often the past 4-5 maps, since Ontario, I needed fast and efficient trucks that do the job quick enough and that was refreshing experience to me on another note: Kenworth W990 is an underrated truck imo, fast with special tires for mud and dirt. It's challenging to drive but enjoyable because it keeps you on your toes!

[@BrianSmith-ql5nj]

The trucks i use the least such as highway or heavy duty i use as fuel or repair also put a tanker on one and use with the generator trailer n just leave it parked.

[@FunkyBaconArts]

I would have put the Western Star 47X and 49X trucks in the "Heavy Duty" class instead of "Heavy" class. They don't have big tires, offroad suspensions or great ground clearance like many heavies do, but what they do have is really powerful engines that allow them to perform some real heavy duty jobs, much like the CAT CT681 and International HX 520.

[@shubhamjuvatkar4023]

'Heavy Duty' trucks are 'Jack of all trades but master of none' 😂.

[@anthonyduffy6953]

I just upgraded the white western star heavy duty in alaska and im loving it. Only been playing a week or so, just got to level 20 today.

[@jamesbennett5189]

The GMC 9500 and Brigadier are REGULARS in my arsenal.

[@ButternutTrucker]

My favorite two trucks in the entire game, along with the MACK.

[@parramore3892]

Mine is the kenworth 993 I think it’s called and the paystar 5070, sometimes I’ll throw the tatra in as well

[@naberius9232]

In my opinion if they all would have access to diff lock and awd, most of those trucks would perform pretty good. I installed a mod for western star 57x for it to have diff lock and this thing turned into a beast. For light and even medium mud this thing just slams through and I love it.

[@kevinrobertshaw6479]

I use the highway trucks in the regions that actually have highways ie the Scandinavian one. Be cool if the designed a map with a long highway and super tricky delivery's and missions off that highway.

[@NeptuneGT]

Nice video I agree with you, highway trucks aren't that solid but heavy can do the work. I mostly use heavy for support (fuel or generator) because I like to use a lot of trucks on each region (it's easier for each contract because there's often a truck close) I think the big issue with these trucks is there are better trucks in the game so people tend to use the most efficient. In Mudrunner, they used the star system on every map so you couldn't use all the trucks you wanted. Sometimes you had to choose if you wanted 2 trucks with 2 star (that were not the best) or only 1 truck 4 star. For snowrunner, I think they can implement some multiplier on the contract like getting more credits / xp if you did a task with the GMC instead of Zikz 605. It won't be useful for people that have all trucks in the garage and at level 30 but that's another topic^^

[@Gracefulwarrior2124]

In real life for example, sometimes is cargo paid depending on how fast cargo gets delivered; the faster it was, the higher the amount. That wouldn't make much sense in the game other than for the sake of just having it tbh.

[@cmgtbone]

Did you see the new website / forum for Snowrunner? You can submit some of the ideas and the community can vote on them.

[@joshuatester8197]

I use my Highway trucks with Large Maintenance Addon parked on the side of the main roads as mobile refuel/ repair before an offroad excursion.

[@maverickf1426]

i only used highways in scandinavia. that was really nice to work there

[@josstroeven2380]

i reckon high way class could have some boosted modifiers for road use, so tarmac or ice roads you can do at really high speed without stability problems, like right now they handle the same as heavy duty or offroad with the same tires

[@elin0s]

The W990 is a beast. Yes there are places you need AWD but still the W990 deliveres. I even made the CT681 work in Amur. The new Kenny’s have yet to get tester a bit more by me but they have crazy potential

[@civishamburgum1234]

Yeah. Heavy Duty Trucks are underapreciated. They are really adequate and their fuel usage isn't single hanedly resposible for the decline of the ppolar icecaps.

[@MadMax_3637]

Heavy duty trucks are my favorite truck in snow runner and they need a buff the only reason I use the heavy truck class is for the Kenworth 963

[@Philliben1991]

When I start a map I randomly choose one truck from each class and try and complete the map with just those five (I think who many classes there are) trucks.

[@Patrik1342yt]

The heavy duti gmc is so good wentbin amur w that didnt get stuck loved it its worth the money

[@justinlynch3]

49X and the 114SD should be in the heavy duty class. No idea why they are in heavy/offroad. Heavy should be reserved for massive vehicles only. P16, P12, KOLOB's, 605, Twin-Steer, FEMM, these are heavy. 49X is a semi-truck. What is "heavy" about that truck? With offroad I'd argue if it can't have the option to use track or mud tire, then it shouldn't be in offroad. The 114SD, and even the original Step truck, alough with the Royal should be in Heavy Duty. GM9500 should probably be upgraded to Heavy Duty. It was a highway due to being one of these fuel efficient RWD only low offroad capability truck. But it got AWD added to it in a DLC and has since outgrown the highway class. Though I guess they keep it in there for players who don't have the Kola maps.

[@Bryan_Jake]

I want some Russian heavy duties and Highways. We had them in MudRunner. We could just bring a couple over. Slap a Tayga or Voron logo on it. We could use another one of those.

[@jessaphillips2846]

I try to use all my trucks although I don’t mess with the Transtar or CLT aside from my RWD truck only play through

[@tomn.9987]

I like using the CAT 681, it's really fast and very capable with good range on a tank. I use Plad 450 for the worst things but the rest.. why go so slow?

[@Dellrend]

I use the heavy duty as a yard truck

[@MetalMustacheGarage]

I do feel like the highway trucks are a waste when there aren’t any maps where there are roads you can really use them. In mudrunner they had more use there were maps with complete roads you could use the highway trucks which was cool and different

[@matteogallistru8836]

I remember the Freightliner 114sd being a hyghway truck in the first version of the game and with the first patch went to offroad class witch doesnt make sense to me, the 114sd is not that bad but still not that good

[@rorixdragonblade8480]

cat 680 and hx 520 are my mvp. wws 4964 and gmc 9500 are cheap and universal

[@Usernamekrnfkdk]

I am not offending but you don't have to put "a" before "snowrunner" it is not "a snowrunner" the correct one is "snowrunner" without "a" Thanks you are awesome

[@CyrusTheContentCreator]

i try my best. 🙂

[@Mikyramatrucksleggends]

IMO highway class should just be removed from the game at esclusion of gmc mh 9500 witch should be in heavy duty because is the only highway truck that has allwheel drive and difflock Highway class are uselles at all becuase snowrunner doesen't have many highways

[@kanehood3478]

I honestly use the clt 9000 and transtar on a regular basis,

[@clutch44444]

No, why, there are people like me that love highway trucks because they give me a challenge, why would you want them removed, just don't use them if you don't like them

[@builttobeat2741]

Right, I even bought the w990 so I had another truck to use on my playthrough with no awd vehicles. Especially with the newer maps having no challenge to them what so ever, using them actually puts a little bit of fun back in the game for me.

[@leemollison7508]

I honestly thought this too, then I was playing hard mode and decided not to sell the Transtar 4070A, thinking I would use it just to ferry stuff up and down the tarmac in Smithville, using only Low Saddle - after the occasional bit of dirt with no issues I end up using it to complete all the old oil rig sections in Island Lake, which it did with no issues, and relatively cheaply on fuel as well. It's now one of my favourite trucks because it completely outperformed my expectations, driven off road with careful use of the throttle(PS5 trigger) it goes way more places than you would expect and does it cheaper than most other trucks. I remember laughing at the giant snorkel that it can be fitted with, how it is the only snorkel, on a 'Highway' truck and thinking how dumb that was.......then I used that snorkel to tow the green superheavy fuel tanker across the river crossing at the very north of the map in Black River ( 'd taken it into Smithville to use for fuel there). Using a long semi- trailer helps a lot with winching, it basically crossed no different to any other early game AWD truck. Tldr: the Highway class aren't as useless as they appear on paper, although I only really have experience with the Transtar and MH9500. I'd be curious to see what the ford 9000 can do.😅 Edit: I fitted my Transtar with UODII tyres to do this, the right tyres make more difference than AWD alone.

[@clutch44444]
