Azov 64131 and Tayga 6436

[Johnsen]

Hello! so i just gained these two beauties, and i really cant find any big difference besides speed. anything i am missing? absolutely enjoying the hell out of snowrunner ( just got it this weekend ) :-)

[Johnsen]

Also super excited for when i unlock the Caterpillar TH357, Caterpillar 745C, Azov 73210 ( cant seem to find a truck that matches the huge variety of equipments etc) and ofc KOLOBS :D

Not sure if the International Paystar is worth the money compared to the Tayga / Azov (?)

Once you have the Azov and the Tayga, the Paystar might not be an upgrade for you; it shines more when you get it at lvl 2 as it comes with all-terrain tires, if I remember correctly.

It is a bit more tippy than the 2 other trucks and drinks a bit more fuel while having a smaller tank, however that should not be a big issue in the first region as gas stations and fuel trailers are quite plentiful there.

Having played already 1.000 h + I can say, that the Azov 64131 is the best truck in the game. Taking into consideration all sort of equipment, upgrading possibilities, trailer management, tires, low / high saddle etc, it is the allrounder that can be used anywhere on any map. Kola, Yukon or Amur, the Azov is doing its job. My favorite truck by far.

From my experience:

Azov-6 is a bit on tippy side and tends to dug-in in deep mud (or blue snow) due to small wheels (47'' only). Also because of short base it have trouble with crane + fuel semi combo. Not a gamebreaker, but can be annoying at times. As with all short-base 8x8 it can struggle on loose rocks ALOT;

Tayga-6436 ("Short" Tayga) burns quite a lot of fuel and cannot have crane + flatbed combo. Otherwise quite decent not to mention it's free quite early in game;

There's also "Long" Tayga (6455B, free from Maine) which is slightly superior to 6436 to my liking. It have longer wheelbase, allowing crane + flatbed + trailer combo, a bit of extra fuel on roof rack and iconic KrAZ-255 look as a bonus =) On a downside it have slightly smaller wheels compared to older Tayga (50'' vs 51'') and atrocious turning radius.

ps: Azov-7 is surprisingly amazing and versatile, especially after active suspension and redesigned front overhang. Still hates ditches, but atleast it's not digging in and do not take damage from ground contact. And really awesome turning radius thanks to active rear axle.

So my Azov-6 cant have a crane, flatbed and a cargo trailer behind which was sad to figure out.. feels like a good 100k waste early game.. but u're saying that the DLC you can purchase with Tayga 6455B can do exactly this and have same opportunities to get forward? :D

You know what can have all 3 of those things? The wonderful Fleetstar. The Fleetstar can do pretty much anything. Although it does love to fall over with the raised suspension. I think it is the best sounding truck in the game too.

Yeah, fitted with crane + flatbed Azov-6 have really huge rear overhang and no way to properly attach trailer.

By all means I won't call it a waste - it's very capable truck and honestly I prefer crane + 5-slot semi anyway.

6455B can do either though, that's for sure 😎

you go with the heavy crane + 5 slot trailer for the tayga or u meant the azov? :D sorry for repeating myself!

i might be misunderstanding :-) i am curious if there is a truck with crane + flatbed + trailer option or is the option u mention the only way? :-)

Oh, sorry if I put it in kinda cryptic way =)

Personally I use crane + 5-slot semi whenever I can... too much Euro Truck Simulator, I guess, lol. Truck-wise:

Azov-6: can do crane + flatbed (no trailer) OR crane + 5-slot semi (but cannot use fuel/water semi in this setup);
Tayga-6436: can do flatbed + trailer (no crane) OR crane + 5-slot semi;
Tayga-6455B: can do crane + flatbed + trailer OR crane + 5-slot semi;
ps: Azov-7 can also do crane + flatbed + trailer OR crane + 5-slot semi.

Bunch of other trucks can do C+F+T combo aswell, including good old Fleetstar mentioned above. It can't beat Azov/Tayge in tough driving conditions though =)

on a side note - Russian small "blue" crane sucks (
