I can imagine if i needed to carry a lot of materials to the quarry of Smithville,the smartest thing i could do was to tip this truck in some place i know it can drop the cargo down close to the bottom and pick that with another truck later to deliver. Maybe it's good to avoid implements if you need a very huge log only loaded with a big crane but still needs another truck. The real question is if this vehicle is better to sale for extra money or keep it with so many limitations.

I love this thing. It will use brute force to muscle its’ way through anything. I had the privilege to actually sit in one in real life. It was owned by a company in Wyoming. It is 32 feet long and that baseball home plate looking thing in the back is actually a fifth wheel or low saddle as it’s called in the game, which can be flipped to on or off via hydraulics. As always AWESOME REVIEW!!! 🤘😬🤘

I've always felt the TwinSteer is crying out for a specific logging frame addon - one that has "flexible loading" like the Fliegl logging trailers in Farming Simulator. So how it works is simple. you have a single full-bed-length logging cradle that auto accepts (for example) one long logs + one short logs, or two medium logs, or four short logs, or one medium and two short logs. The mix is chosen by what you load at the cargo management screen, and so is the loading order (to allow for weight distribution management if offloading at different destinations). Of course, due to the height of log stacks, it'd need a wider wheel base, but that could be handled with a dependence on having the logging frame installed so that it couldn't be abused/used in other loadouts.

It was about a year before i bought the game's dlc, so installed the Dreadnought mod by mrbusses, because the fact that 8X8 was locked behind a paywall was foolish to me. I actually used to PDI these trucks at the Western Star dealer in Edmonton, for the Alberta oilfield. If you pay attention closely to the design of the truck, you'll notice a set of gin poles on each side of the deck, and a closed flip hitch at the back of the deck. A majority of the 6900TS trucks that i did an inspection on were 8X8 configuration gin pole trucks. A couple were tanker units, and one of them had a massive service body on them. They're amazing trucks IRL, and i wish Western Star succeeded this truck with the X line

Honestly Yukon is going to be slow, but most vehicles you have are going to get you through. If you've seen my hardcore gameplay on the yukon I was using the Cat CT681 which isnt the greatest and still having success. I'd recomend using the Russian trucks if your having a ton of trouble, but I believe you definitely can have success with the fleet you have. Because I think you can still succeeed with most trucks, I dont think making a video would necessarily help. I do recommend looking at my route runner series to see good routes to take to major hubs and such. I hope that helps. Trucks I could recommend if the NA trucks are too frustrating, then use the Vorons and the Tayga which will be pretty solid here

So with the OHDs I believe they promote a more stable platform, the JAT 63s are a go between from pure performance and stability.

This truck feels like a solution looking for a problem. You can pack 4 units of cargo on a regular semi and be more maneuverable, so why use this? If it could pull a trailer you'd get truly impressive cargo capacity (and insane length). As it is, this truck feels gimmicky and the novelty quickly wears off when you get stuck in tight bends or end up high centered - a thing this vehicle can do exceptionally well. The rigid frame makes it prone to tipping on uneven terrain. The addition of AWD was very nice, making the Twin Steer usable at least.
