Well, here's my thoughts. If you're returning to the game, you'll want to build up your skill again and remember all the things you knew. These include terrain navigation and also specific vehicle driving skills.
What's going to get you farther than any truck is knowing the basics and how to make ends meet when you're using basic tools. If you understand the terrain and you know how to operate vehicles properly, you'll be in a pretty good position to get any challenge done even if you don't have the most suitable equipment for it.
So why don't you focus on that aspect instead? You don't really need a specific truck to be competent. And if you really want to buy something, then maybe buy a demanding truck so you get a valuable learning experience instead of something that weakens you by dumbing things down. Or you could just buy the JAT tire pack so you'll have extra tire options to work with.
The Crocodile is quite versatile. It's got the power of a much bigger truck in a small frame and you have plenty of options to adjust its total mass, so it can pull a lot of weight. You also can set it as a fuel tanker. I've used it as a scout vehicle too since it's small enough to fit the role.
It also comes with a pretty useful set of all-terrain tires. They have better traction than standard ones and their narrower shape helps them concentrate the pressure better so they give you better traction than they should.
In general terms, the JAT tire pack gives you all-terrain tires with slightly better traction (similar to the unique ones that come with the Crocodile), plus wide offset mud tires for scouts (increased traction in mud, and increased stability), plus wide mud tire options for a bunch of trucks, plus some narrow mud tires for a select few models, plus some UOD and OHD variants with different traction coefficients (benefits are situational).
For me, the most useful JAT tires are the all-terrains (which I use extensively) and the JAT mud tires for scouts. Having said that, if I had to choose between the tires and the Crocodile, I'd take the Crocodile since vanilla tires still do their job just fine.
Here's the tire traction coefficients spreadsheet so you can see exactly how they differ from stock. Just bear in mind that this spreadsheet doesn't show you how the handling behavior can change when you equip wide tires instead of thin, or viceversa.

I'll subscribe to the thread so I'll get notified of further messages.
It instantly transforms mediocre into what it should be - as has been said. Should have been a ‘day one fix’ instead of a paid DLC
Snow tires = any tire labeled as a mud tire. Also valid for wet sand.
The JAT tires are labelled as such in the spreadsheet.
Not always, this is situational.
Bigger tires will raise your center of gravity, so they can make your vehicle unstable.
Also, depending on the combined mass of your vehicle (vehicle + accessories + cargo), larger tires could either prevent you from cutting through mud into buried layers of dirt (if your vehicle isn't heavy enough, the increase in tire surface will spread the pressure instead of concentrating it) and thus reduce your traction, or they could have the opposite effect and actually enable you to reach into a dirt layer buried under the mud (if your vehicle is sufficiently heavy, the increased overall wheel diameter could provide you with the ability to reach deep enough).
To summarize, you need to do tests with each vehicle to get a straight answer.
I can tell you though, that ALL mud tires that are also wide tires, are designed to provide buoyancy via diffuse pressure, whereas all thin tires are designed instead to concentrate the pressure in a smaller surface area.
