Best vehicle?

[Nick]

Whats the best vehicle? Like fuel efficency and cargo and stuff. And also how do those upgrade kits work and where do you get those. I mean I know you can buy them but can you craft them too?

With the recent update, the Vandito is #1 for trunk space at 18 slots. The Witchita ES is the best overall vehicle, good trunk space, great speed, and great maneuverability

Alright thanks :)

For the upgrade kit, you can craft them with autoshop in your base which require both power and automechanic knowledge.

Vandito is just insane now. I agree.
Somebody has to make changes in a car section on Sod2 Wiki :)

What do y'all think about Smashwagen and Trail Beast? I don't see why the Witchita ES is so popular because of the smaller trunk space and average gas usage, versus good trunk space on Smashwagen and low gas usage on Trail Beast.

Impaler is the best car regardless of cargo space.

This beauty has a battering ram in front preventing zombies from ever climbing your hood, so you can park this car anywhere if you block the drivers door and be immortal (apart against from bloater gas), zombies can only hurt the car by climbing on the hood and for some reason hanging on doors and even open doors, but they only climb on the doors of the side you sit.
Meaning as long as you park your car against wall to block the drivers door there is no way of the zombies to hurt you or your car (with exceptions of bloater gas and juggernauts)

But the ram is just extra, it has spikes on the back which will instakil ferals if they as much as walk against your car.

But personally I love the helion and un-upgraded variants for great control.

Alright thank you all :)

smashwagon is my go to

Ranger SUV by far for me. Best speed, handling, and fuel usage in my opinion. Also has a 8 slot trunk which isnt too shabby. That thing NEVER gets stuck. Goes over any terrain with ease.

If I have a lot of driving I need to do then I go with the Miragra.
If I have a lot of driving and need something with armor I use the Wichita ES.
I also like to keep around my base at least 1 of the SUV's and its normally the Ranger one.
I like to have an upgraded van for storage and for blocking the back wall at the Farmland Compound in Trumbull Valley, I use this map the most in my games.

The Rangers, Pilato CR and the Red Talon suv to me are the best drivers for handling and fuel usage and with 8 slots you cant go wrong.
I also keep a Smashwagon at my base for back up work.

On a recent playthrough I had upgraded versions of almost every class of vehicle and still ended up using the un-upgraded Ranger SUV for most of my looting and missions.

Far and away "feels" the best to drive in so many ways.
