![]() ![]() They're all real brands-Ford, Chevrolet, General Motors, and Caterpillar are all here-and there's a host of customization options. So you'll have to become close personal friends with all of the trucks available in SnowRunner. Hell, running a big rig through a muddy section only increases the deepness of the ruts, making it harder on the return trip. Its suspension isn't high enough to ford a deep river without ruining the engine, and if you get stuck, you'll probably have to get one of your other trucks and tow that sucker out. But that rig is built for riding on standard roads or those with only light mud. That starting truck won't haul as much as the next flatbed rig, meaning you can't haul as many materials. Here's a road that's a little muddy, you probably can ease off the all wheel drive and conserve some fuel. And then it parcels out some difficulties. The starting vehicle, a Chevrolet CK1500, gets you acquainted with the basics: switching to all-wheel drive, changing to low gear, or attaching your winch to pull you out of a messy spot. The meat is figuring out how you get those deliveries done. You find Watchtowers to reveal more of the map, explore the wilds to find more parts and vehicles, and deliver stuff from place to place. ![]() SnowRunner starts you off in the decidedly snowless countryside of Michigan, giving a glimpse of the game's core loop. SnowRunner is a mix of a truck simulator and an arcade racer I'm sure it's cutting something out of a meatier sim, but you also can't go careening through the countryside without messing up your engine and suspension. I don't care about those industries enough to want a pitch-perfect version of them. I've been vaguely aware of them all-Microsoft Flight Simulator, American Truck Simulator, Farming Simulator, Train Simulator-but I've never made time for any of them. I've never played any of the various simulator games that have their own hardcore niche communities. ![]() It's about struggling through rough terrain while you watch a YouTube video. You're not getting anywhere too quick, instead just moseying your way through mud, snow, and water. Sure, there are a lot of choices involving the trucks you use and how you drive through certain terrain, but the overall pace is slow. It's incredibly complex at times, nearing the level of a simulation, but it's also oddly relaxing. SnowRunner is like the digital version of that feeling. I listen to podcasts while washing dishes or walking to the store. Back when I had a garden, I'd write articles in my head while doing so. When you've done something enough that muscle memory takes over and you can do anything else at the same time. In my opinion the scouts are totally useless except in very few missions of some dlc maps like yukon or kolv and I add more, for me the only useful scouts are Yar who is the best in mud after tatarin, the same tatarin obviously and ford the Which I only use as a gas station or for a few scout missions.There's something comforting about performing menial tasks. Further into the game and having unlocked more trucks and scouts I realized the same thing but to a greater extent, scouts are 90% a failure in the mud and even more so in the snow so my speed was slower than using a simple fleetstar. i also realized this very early in the game, fleetstar was better scout than chevy or scout 800 so in the end i decided not to invest my money in them as i realized they are a failure in mud. The scout also provides an autonomous winch in case of a roll over (as long as the scout is in range of something it can use to right itself). If needed, I can deploy the scout to get to things through woods or narrow spaces a bigger truck cant reach. Something like a Voron has better mud crossing than most scouts.

I appreciate the detailed insights provided here on various trucks available in the game. It's incredible how each vehicle has its unique strengths and weaknesses, making the game not just a test of skill but also a strategic challenge. The visuals and descriptions really add to the immersive experience.
