Top 10 SnowRunner BEST truck showdown: Imandra edition

Imandra can be a tough cookie, so here are 10 trucks I use that can make life easier. I'd also suggest unlocking the garage as that will also reduce the pain (see the description for that and all my other SnowRunner guides). Hope you find this useful and thanks for stopping by.

I'm in Imandra now, still recuperating from the 'Unlock the Garage' nightmare mission (getting the Metal Bars in Lake Kovd and driving them to the Substation in Imandra should be made into a roadtrip film, honestly). In the scout department, I want to give a shout-out to — wait for it — the Khan 39 Marshall. Its weak spot is ice (having no chained tyres), but thanks to its balloon mud tyres and great manoeuvrability, I used it to go practically anywhere and get all the updates. It bounces a lot when traversing paths with scattered rocks, but tips very seldom. In any case, the autonomous winch gets you out of trouble quickly. Cheers, and thank you again for all your SnowRunner content. //Rick

YAR87 (even just stock), best in kola peninsula, use it to unlock the: Ford, Acteon & Warthog. With these 4 trucks you can finish both maps with ease. Trust me, you want small vehicles, not these behemoths in the video, you'll hate yourself for using large vehicles in kola peninsula. It costs only 20,000 and kola peninsula is littered with scout trailers, Ford can be crane+support, Acteon can be crane+smallsideboard, Warthog can be feultanker+support. Yar can even pull these trucks along (loaded) so you can beat kola peninsula with just the 4 vehicles in stock form, and do it reasonably quickly too.

Yar 87 is a good scout for Imandra, because it's ability to drive over broken ice

Thanks. I just started Kola today

Im a cheater so i just use the Mercedes zetros mod with the trailers by the same mod creator and it's served me well enough to the point i use a zetros as a scout+crane+2 load slot truck or a 4 carry with a trailers and still a crane. It even has a which that can be used without the engine

how do y'all get through that rocky path to get to the first part of the task to unlock the garage? i can't seem to get anything to fit

Avoz Antarctic is a beast for any map, yes it’s fuel hungry and can be tipped over if not paying attention, but it plows through mud and snow like nothing

Imandra has a GARAGE? I thought it only had snow and pain.

Hey Ben, I'm only unlocking Imandra now, got the game when it first came out but didn't do anything for ages, until a month or so ago I started getting into it big time, I'm currently using the DAN 96320 toi go across Lake Kovd to Imadra, gonna try unlock the garage with it, wish me luck! Oh love the channel too I've seen mosdt if not all your videos! playing on PC using a PS4 controller through the EPIC store, question though, whats the best way to tr\ansfer the game over to steam, don't wanna lose my dsave or DLCs.

Cats don't drink milk ;) just water :)

The MAZ 543 mod, or the Scud truck as i like to call it, is also very useful for this map

honestly for some reason the DAN is phenomenal on this map. with chained tires. its more stable than the tayga. try it.

I think I've spent around 10 hours in Imandra and not yet unlocked the garage. Time has been spent scouting, moving trucks there, fighting the deep snow, tipping over, moving new trucks to rescue, struggling getting to the metal beams, getting superstuck, tipping over and losing cargo, rage-recovered, moving new truck, struggling getting metal beams (again) and getting stuck on some rocks with no progress at all, winch useless. At least I've scouted a good route to the site, but I need a heavy crane to get off from the rocks and it means probably an hour (without tipping) to just get to location.
Imandra is very brutal, and TBH I'm not sure how I feel about it. I feel like I'm in too committed now so I must unlock the garage no matter what.

Mods man

I use the krs 58 for this map but don’t, it has a very high centre of gravity and falls over if the terrain gets too steep

Also could use a best overall truck for this map... the struggle is real 😭😅

If only there could be a raised suspension and possibly a bit bigger tire for the azov 73210! That would be awesome!

I'm finding imandra rather enjoyable, I'm always up for new maps, I like exploring

I think it might be OP (so wouldn't be surprised if it gets nerfed at some point in the future) but the Tatarin scout was a lifesaver.
For some reason it was literally able to pull absolutely truck fully loaded with metal beams up any incline or over any terrain like it was butter & carrying nothing at all. Way more effectively than the CAT 745C, and like a third of the size too

I like the Loadstar cos it's good for hauling drums and bass.

Dont ask how but I unlocked the garage using the derry 3194 only

In Yukon I'm finding it practically impossible to load and haul metal beams with any vehicle. Can you list or video your #1 metal beam vehicle. The vehicle list in game is long. So far I've tried 10 different vehicles, trying various trailers. I literally can't find a vehicle that will haul 2 metal beams at once. Again focus is either map in Yukon. Thanks

How does this list not have the tartan? I love that thing

if you want to ruin the game do the money glitch with the cat 745c i made 5 mil while watching this video

Am I the only one that uses the AWD twinsteer in Imandra 😂

My fleet for Imandra:
- 42-20 for the 71inch tires
- 745c for the 71inch tires & stability
- Tayga for scouting (don't hate me; I can't use any scout trucks here)
- Grad for the standard deliveries & crane tasks
- 73210 because it's just awesome
- DAN for the heavy crane
- Loadstar for the portable radar only. It's usually winched along by a bigger truck
- 4380 for the metal detector

Imandra makes me understand that there's no best truck for all things. I've found myself deploying several trucks all at once throughout imandra.

Imandra is a shithole

I think azov 5319 gets slept on, high range gearbox and that thing flys, has 50” tires that are always on for AWD and DIFF...can also carry cargo and keep its spare tire

Game and car: Porche 911 something and the game is forza horizon 4

Where can i find this “tuz 108” ?

I know it has a long nose, but I found the Kolob 74941 worked better than the 74760. The 747 has full time lockers, but they don't really work and the truck gets stuck on top of boulders. The 749 can drive at speed without anything on, and if it gets stuck on a boulder (such as those found along the shores of the lake) switch on the lockers or reverse a bit and you can keep going. For either truck, switch from the stock tires to a different compound. The stock tires are good for mud and deep snow but they offer no grip on ice or the tops of boulders and rocks.

Tedious shitfest of a map.

How do you get american trucks in russia?

I’ve been experimenting with scouts for discovering these snowy regions and came to a solution. Eventually I started using Yar with the radar trailer pulled by 8x8 Tatarin. While the tatarin has unstoppable capabilities in mud and snow and it doesn’t hesitate pulling other scouts through that, the yar is equipped with chain tires and helps the tatarin to deal with ice. The radar trailer enables to discover without being dependent on watchtowers. Yar also has pretty good fuel economy ratio, and both can be equipped with roof racks, so maintenance and fuel is not an issue. Tested.
It looks like a train though. But it made my discovery progress much faster.

Your first truck was carrying a rolls Royce from ww1 don't know what that's going in Russian

Have you thought about making a guide on how to complete the Armour cars and plane parts missions?

Gotta redo your twinsteer video now that it has AWD option available 😏

I just recently discovered that the bumper on the 10 wheel Azov has nothing to do with the real life one. The real one has a very sloped one that would make it so much less frustrating to drive off road. Its like the devs have purposely given it this shovel nose so it wouldnt be so OP. Go check it out.. Kamaz 5340.

I used a few trucks from this list, especially the loady, but a couple different ones. I used 1 truck on the power line mission with ease, and I think everyone sleeps on it. The Freightliner 114SD, which is probably one of my favourite in the game for utility, size and stability. And the Twin Steer is a beast if you play it right, but did tip a few times. Combine the 2 and have an unstoppable duo

64131 slovest BUT have big fuel efficency and pull all cargo

73210 Perfect for big crane/ my favorite rescue truck/ some bug fix with bumper make truck interesting to use

tayga forever!!! but need bigger fuel tank

Kolob 747? This thing made the plane mission take 4 hours becourse of All the rocks

Can’t wait for mods to come to console I hope you do mod car reviews because I’m sure you’d have a big audience

To date, the only truck I have more than one of is the Azov 73210 (crane + saddle low & crane + sideboard bed), but I'm feeling with the new engine the need to get a second F-750 with crane and small flatbed for the little single point cargo tasks. Current F-750 has all the maintenance related add-ons.

And maybe another Tayga. Not sure why I only have one...

Please. Your killing me. Use chained wheels in snow. Chained wheels preform 100x better in snow as under the snow is ice. Please. Stop killing me with mud and off-road wheels in snow.

Please. Use chained wheels in snow. They are better. This is because that’s how the game has made it and under the snow is ice.

I'd name that car "Hans" and the game "Gruber". So it is "Hans Gruber"... ^_^

I feel you are immensely unterated! I love the way you present, the British wit is definitely a nice touch! Both informative and entertaining! Subscribed
