This was a late 60s early 70s heavyduty truck, most frequently used for commercial logistics but can used in any way that a typical heavyduty truck can as a dumbtruck, snow plow, farming tractor, for logging, industrial logistics, vehicle transport, etc. This was a highway truck, and was advertized as such, but it also had offroad uses because it's a typical heavyduty hauler.

In SnowRunner, this truck is found in the first map of Michigan, in perfect condition, and equipped with the best engine possible. The game gives you free upgrades in Michigan for its differential lock and Raised suspension; you can upgrade the tires to Offroad UOD II, and if you use my New Game+ settings, you can upgrade the AWD right away rather than having to scout the Kola Peninsula region to find it. Pretty much all of your highway commercial trucks have to be converted to heavy offroaders, mudders, and snowrunners; and this is no different. While this is Highway class truck in SnowRunner, the typical heavyduty external addons are available, making this truck versatille and dynamic and usable for many contracts, tasks, and contests. It has the sideboard + trailer + loading crane combination. It features large tires for its class and average body balance, steering, and control. It does have high fuel consumption when compared to others in its class but still an excellent earlygame truck, acting as my work horse.
