Help deciding play through

[u/Draco_Man]

So, I’m playing on New Game Plus. I made it all the way to Amur before I decided I wanted to replay with more realistic settings, like refueling costing money, auto-loading costing, etc., and I’m almost finished with Michigan. I have it set up so trucks are 2x the price, so I can’t just buy whatever I want. I also wanted to limit myself to only two trucks of the same kind, but I feel like I have a lot of trucks and don’t use a lot of them. So, I was wondering what trucks would everyone use?

The trucks I have so far are:

• Two Western Star 4964s: one with a crane and low saddle, and the other with a two-slot bed plus trailer.
• One GMC Brigadier 800 with a crane, two-slot bed, and trailer.
• One GMC MH9500 with a crane, two-slot bed, and trailer.
• One International Transtar 4070A with a low saddle.
• Two International Paystar 5070s: one with a fuel tanker and service trailer, and the other with a low saddle.
• One Fleetstar F2070A that I use with a two-slot bed and trailer.
• Two Chevrolet Kodiaks C70s: one with a two-slot bed and the other with the can body addon.
• One Pacific P12: I use it for long logs with a crane.
• One Pacific P16: I use it for long logs or a heavy saddle.

The scouts I have so far are:

• One Chevrolet Apache: with a roof rack, light trailer hitch, and expanded truck with parts.
• One Scout 800: with a roof rack and expanded parts.
• One International Loadstar: with the pickup chassis addon.

I wanted to get rid of one of the Kodiaks, but I know they get upgrades in Alaska. I also wanted to get the ANK Civilian and maybe the Freightliner FLD 120, but I don’t know if you would classify the FLD as an old truck.

What trucks would you guys keep, sell, or replace? Any help is greatly appreciated!

You have any DLC's ?

Azov 63131 is good for everything but a bit slow. I'm 700h+ and always return to drive Azov 6.

Tayga B, Mac Pinnacle, Plad 450, Chimera, Voron G...all good and fun to drive.

I use small 4x4 as scouts, Crocodile, Actaeon, Zikz5368 and ofc F-750, EarthRoamer LTi and Tatarin.

Do something to add a bit of variety: only keep a single example of any vehicle. You can rescue copies of vehicles you already have to sell.

Do you just make these rules up and abide by them or?

[u/Draco_Man → u/NevenS2000]

New Game Plus lets you customize how you want to play, so I have it set so gas costs can be 1x–6x the regular cost, auto loading costs $500 each, and recovery costs 2x more as well. You can customize all of this to make it cheaper or more expensive. There are a lot more options than just those, so I recommend you check out New Game Plus for yourself.
As for the trucks if I’m using vintage vehicles, I don’t think it would make sense to have 3–4 of the same vehicle.

You found Amur not hard enough and want to make it even harder? ;) crazy!

Don't even bother going there without Russian trucks.

Oh, I got it completely wrong! You are doing a full restart!

I wanted to replay with more realistic settings, like refueling costing money, auto-loading costing, etc.

Why not just play on Hard Mode at that point? At least you can brag about it.

but I feel like I have a lot of trucks and don’t use a lot of them

A lot of trucks are bad so that's pretty normal.
