The answer is that it depends on the situation. Are you looking for something specific, or are you looking for a generalist?
You should be avoiding everything that qualifies as deep stuff, and most of the time you can avoid it.
But in this case, I'd point you to a Mastodon if you want something specialized for operating inside swamps and very deep snow while dealing with heavy loads (be mindful that this one will damage roads faster though). This one will be right at home in your average hellhole in Amur.
If you want something more lightweight and more compact that can do more varied things, I'd point you instead to a Crocodile (this one can be equipped with wide mud tires for swamps and snow).
The Tatra Dual Pack is another pretty good option if you want specialized vehicles for mud and snow, and it comes with one heavy truck akin to the Mastodon plus one light truck that can also fit wide mud tires.
If you want a specialized scout, the Apache from the Clasico Pack is a really good performer at deep mud and snow, especially so with JAT mud tires (if you're taking advantage of the discount sale, consider buying the JAT tire pack as well).
For that, I'd point you at either of the Kenworth truck packs.
The Heavy-Duty class C500 from the Kenworth Dual Pack is, I'd say, the ultimate generalist at the current time. It provides really good traction with its unique all-terrain tires, it's good at handling light cranes in addition to its regular loads, it can do double medium log loads, and you can swap its tires for either chained tires or OHD tires. Plus it can be set up with a cargo rack of supplies, and it has long range capabilities as it is both fuel efficient (as long as you micromanage the gearbox instead of using it in Automatic all the time) and carries a lot of fuel. It also steers really well for a truck with always-on differential locks.
If you want something that remains "general-use" and that operates better in terrain that demands more ground clearance, I'd point you to the Highway-Class W990 instead. It can handle heavy loads and has long range capabilities, but it's rear-wheel drive so you will have to develop that skillset if you don't know how to use rear wheel drive trucks effectively. You'll also have to be mindful of loading down the rear end of the truck for optimal traction. This one also comes with a pusher axle that increases braking power and stabilizes the truck/reduces lateral sway, but you'll have to learn when to use it and when not to use it. Quite effective but it's a demanding truck to drive, and requires you to learn how to drive it in a specific manner.
For deep snow and mud, you don't want generalist vehicles, you want specialized ones. Specialized vehicles aren't that good at versatility, but they're great at the one thing they were designed to do. This is why you want to build a fleet of vehicles of different classes, for different purposes. You want a toolbox that contains all the tools you could want for every scenario.
The C500 can get the proper traction to cross snow and mud, but it's limited by ground clearance so it won't do deep pits. This is why it's rated Heavy-Duty class and not Offroad or Heavy class. You'll want to avoid deep pits with the C500. You'll also want to avoid rock fields, and certain mountain roads that test breakover angles as well as approach angles.
If you want trucks for swamps and deep snow, a Mastodon or a Tatra will be very well-suited because that's their intended use. But for general-purpose use, these last two are cumbersome tools because they're slow compared to most other trucks, they are very wide so there's places where they won't fit in very well (if they fit at all), their fuel expenditure can get uncomfortable in modes where you have to pay for fuel, and if you flip them or get them stuck, it'll be harder to recover these on your own because of their mass and size.
Highway vehicles are the most fuel-efficient and usually have the best long-range capabilities, but are usually more difficult to use in off-road environments.
Heavy-Duties are the jacks-of-all-trades: they aren't excellent at anything but they're also not terrible at anything.
Off-Road trucks have the best capabilities outside of highways but are limited in payload, tend to be fuel-inefficient, and also can be unsafe to drive on roads.
Heavy trucks are best at handling a high payload mass and share some of the capabilities of the off-road class, but they're the most fuel-inefficient, they're heavy, wide and also big, and they don't tend to steer too well.
The Scout class is for pathfinding and for assisting other trucks, although a select few of these are good at pulling cargo.
The Mastodon is a Heavy class. The Tatra Dual Pack comes with one Heavy class truck (akin to the Mastodon) and one small Offroad class truck. The Crocodile is an offroad class truck. The C500 is a Heavy-Duty class truck (the package also includes the T880, which is Highway class). The W990 is a Highway class.
Personally, if I wanted an ultimate "I get to do almost everything with this but I have to pay for it with skill" sort of truck, I'd grab the W990. All the other options are easier to use, but more limited in their practical application scope. But you have to keep in mind that the W990 will *demand* that you learn an individual driving skillset to use it, since it's rear-wheel drive (certain terrains are more challenging for trucks of this sort) and since you have to be mindful of balancing the payload. If you don't learn how to use it, it's not going to be as effective as you'll wish it were.
Or for that matter, just grab one of the vanilla trucks that already fill that role. Isn't there a free one somewhere in Taymyr?
