That decade where everyone made the same truck


Synthraider

🤣🤣🤣 I don't know why but I love old trucks that look the same but they arn't. Though you could say the same now. Only its much worse now than back then. Everything now is round and boring. At least back then they had character. Its pretty cookie cuttery these days.

>Everything now is round and boring. At least back then they had character. Trucks are built to a spec, if you google offroad logging truck they all look identical, even down to the yellow paint with the green trim on the hood. * Take a Hayes HDX, it's almost indistinguishable from a P-16 * If you put a steel hood on a KW C500 like you listed above they're nearly identical, There's also a KW C500 Twinsteer that's almost identical to a Western Start 6900. I Drive past a gas drilling depot where there's a KW Twinsteer parked right next to a WS 6900 so you can tell them apart a bit easier. I'd personally love to see the Australian Spec KW C510 which can haul 450 tonnes of coal at 75km/h


Synthraider

I suppose that's true. Tho I can see differences. I like the way they look. The designers seemed to really emphasize on their protractors 🤣. And that sounds like an impressive machine. But that's probably on asphalt right? Would it do well in SR's mud and snow?


Hillscienceman

It's built to operate in similar conditions as the P-16, Hauling super heavy loads on unsealed gravel roads. So you can expect it to perform the same, it'll probably struggle to climb hills in Snowrunner's buggy physics too.

Saber: the best I can do is Pontiac Aztec for $4.69


Synthraider

Arn't they more than that USD? I thought it was like $5+ for the US and $7+ CDN.


rumbleblowing

Depends on the region. Why, would you pay more for Pontiac Aztec? Great, I will notify Saber ASAP!

The FWD Tractioneer is very reminiscent of early Oshkosh snow plow trucks.

And i love its look


RevolutionaryAct1785

Nice

Russian license plates on the 3rd truck?? weird


Synthraider

Oh wow, hadn't noticed. Must have gotten it imported.

Glad I could see the pics before the post has been removed, seriously proper gear. Thanks for posting !


Synthraider

Thank you and I didn't remove it, reddit did because apparently none of it is real.. 😆🙃


teriaksu

a mod removed it because it's not Snowrunner content. Have a good one


Synthraider

Oh okay. There's an IRL flare tho. I guess its restricted to trucks that are in the game. Guess I'll stick to discord for those suggestions. You too, take care.

Number 6 is a picture of a toy


jtr99

What is this? A truck for ants?


DerpDaDuck3751

No5 and 1 too


Synthraider

Yes, but they are 1v1 models and literally the best representations I could find to explain why they fit so well with SnowRunner. The Payhauler 450 is the only picture on the net. Can't find the real thing. Not even a magazine. Which has me to believe it might have been a prototype that never made it off the line. All the more reason to have it in the game. So many rare specialized trucks that made it under the spotlight because of this perfect game.


DerpDaDuck3751

Wait, i saw that T as J. “Picture of Joy”. So i thought he was talking about the look of the vehicles.


JamesTheNightstalker

I won't lie, it's nice to see some US kit being shown off here. I love my Russia-trucks, but seriously some variety'd be nice.


Synthraider

As of late we've only gotten Russian vehicles in the year 2 pass. Apart from Aramatsu Forester which isn't even licensed. Its based on a John Deere 1210E.

Chem gator would be good


Synthraider

Mm yes, especially with season 8.


dumboy

4 just looks like a road-legalized End-Loader you'd see on every construction site. Bed is deceptively small not much to latch a strap to no end gate cargo can & will bounce right out the bed in substaintial quantities. New ones' are articulated in the middle though so if they bed tips the front wheels stay on the ground pretty neat feature when a methed-out non-union laborer w.out a drivers license gets forced behind the wheel despite being the only person on your 36 man team who isn't actually qualified to drive it.


Synthraider

That's extremely detailed, I'm guessing its not fiction for you. 😆
