Oddly enough, the AWD actually improves its fuel mileage. Unlike most of the trucks in-game, the P12's fuel consumption doesn't increase with the activation of its AWD. So by having the AWD on, it can pull itself easier, burning less fuel.
The only times I do switch off AWD is on paved roads to be honest. It does make a very minimal difference in fuel burn almost to the point where its not needed. Without AWD on offroad parts ya I'm with ya on that its not as efficient. Great point! Thank you!
I bought this truck on my first playthrough and it helped in Michigan with logging. In Alaska I used it as a mobile repair and refuel truck for scouting then was back to logging. Yes the truck got stuck a lot, but I didn't really care. It sounds amazing looks amazing and is one of the few trucks that can self load long logs. In my opinion it is worth having as a early logging truck, just take the time to plan a route to avoid steep hills if possible.
I like this truck for two of its applications: heavy rescue vehicle with the big maintenance add-on and the long logs hauler w/crane. The only other vehicles capable of doing so are the Azov 73210 and the International Paystar 5600 TS, but they have much smaller tires. Fun fact: it used to have an unchangeable stock front bumper.
That’s a good use for this truck as well. Yea it’s old bumper could not be changed and had collision issues. There also are more trucks that can use the logging crane & long log attachment as well. Two off the top of my head are the P512 & the Brigadier I believe.
@@NProvince wait, what? the Brigadier? surprised... I didn't buy it because I didn't like its fuel consumption and tippiness with that tuned custom suspension, allowing only 46" tires (tested on an unlicensed copy). Strange, it doesn't look that long at all.
I sold all the vehicles from Black River, Michigan to get a P12. I was only level 3 or so at the time. That's over 60 in-game hours ago, and I'm still driving it. Barely upgraded. If I didn't occasionally need a flatbed truck, I wouldn't even know why the other trucks exist in the game.
Because the 745c can't mount the maintenance add on I sold it and the BM17 to get the P12. It's amazing as a rescue truck. I've had two complicated and difficult rescues successfully completed with the P12. I also used it to completely scout two of the Alaska maps, reaching all of the watchtowers and revealed upgrades. The thing's a boss.

Support like this helps motivate me keep going! 🤙🏻
I had a dream where this truck with the OHD tires had no duallies on the right side, but had duallies on the left side 😂 but good truck overall and good for early game
I really tried to like this truck. But when I was pulling a load of long logs up a hill and it didn't have the power to do it multiple times I had to put it aside
That is the trouble of the P12 is with heavy loads. It’s such a great option because of its addon capacity, but it’s so heavy that it needs an engine upgrade
As a motorsports and auto enthusiast, the math behind some of the physics in this game bug me. The P12 is listed as almost 4 and a half feet longer, is 6x6, and is somehow 11,000 lbs lighter than the P16. The P16 is listed as almost a foot wider, which may explain a small portion, but lacking a live front axle and the accommodations for this would quickly wipe that difference away. Also, they both use the same final engine. But, the P16 is frequently said to have "better pulling power." The smaller, somehow, way heavier truck has better 'pulling power' with the same engine? This is rampant across this game, with trucks like the Loadstar weighing a resonable 9,900k pounds while the Apache is just about half the weight at 5,300 lbs. Don't get me wrong, I love the game and just being nit-picky I suppose.
Ah yes. I think that is a valid argument. That’s a good example with the Loadstar and the Apache. Pertaining to the P12 Vs. P16. As explained in my Mudrunnin Tips video I talk a lot about grip, weight and how weight adds grip. So the P16 is heavier, has better tire codings and also due to its lack of AWD all of that 210k torque is forced to rear axles via always on diff lock. The P12 has always on Diff lock too, and one could argue that you can simply switch off AWD and have similar results, but the P16 has weight and coding on its side. Real life versions Vs SnowRunner is definitely no correct. To be honest I wish they both were given a stronger engine so they wouldn’t have pulling power issues. They are just so heavy and the fact is the engine while it’s strong doesn’t give them a lot of power to weight overhead. Oh don’t worry.. I’m super nit-picky over this stuff man. Lol
Interesting, i stopped using it because i thought its super underpowered. Could not get through some 'shortcuts' or even starting while uphill in Taymir. Then i brought PS5070 and just blazed through those places. Its so strange how experiences change, in the end you just really pick a truck that fits your playstyle and has addons you need...
when i started snowrunner, i used the p12 because it is big. and sometimes big = powerful. i was wrong, i kept getting stuck uphills and it just doesn't have enough power. the off-road capabilities are certainly more better, but the engine is just so bad. even using the strongest engine, it still isn't enough. i just forgot about this truck and used other heavy trucks such as navistar-5000mv
Ya that’s the thing with the P12 is uphill power is kinda low because it weighs so much. A larger engine like the westerners V16 would be a nice addition. Still a really good vehicle and one of my favorite crane trucks
It's too bad about the engine on this truck. I had both medium log add on and medium log trailer in Maine and had all kinds of trouble on the hills. I love the look of the truck it just seems like an old work truck nothing fancy. I love the size of the tires and size of fuel tank. But can we please get an engine upgrade. Guess I will just leave the heavy crane on it and use it that way. Keep up the good work Nathan.
honestly i think this should get addons that the azov 73210 gets and give it a more powerful engine because honestly, i think the dev did this truck dirty
Hi Nathan, pretty amazing job with these videos. I completed the game once in normal mode, and now i am ruling Alaska in hard mode, so i have been playing some hours haha. Your vids are great, keep it up! I completely agree with your pros and cons for the P12. Of course there are some better trucks, i dont like playing it in Easy mode, so i found out that the P12 can do everything, just not that easy in every terrain, that´s what i like most of it. Nowadays on hardmode i have chosen the White Western Star 4964 (i miss it on 1st play) and overall is like a little P12 but more versatile. Nice channel!
Thank you so much! I appreciate that. That is a good many hours into the game. P12 is a great truck and I even bought it on my hardmode as well, but it’s just one step from being great.
Definitely DON'T try pull long logs up a steep hill with this truck! It's so underpowered. I had to rescue mine because it didn't have enough torque to pull it up the hill. 😭 I now use mine as a crane or mobile fuel and service vehicle lol
I started playing with p12 and p16 (ignored in the past). I use OHD I and Westline V12 M900 for P12 s.t. it has a close setup to p16. What's weird is that with logs on its back, P12 could mysteriously stop spinning its wheels (L/L+ ) going uphill but P16 seems not to behave like that. Have u observed similar thing (if so, u know the reason?)?
I have seen this a little actually. I showed this on a recent video “how gearboxes increase torque”. So something I have found is trucks that have trouble with climbing power or over Power to weight. It seems they can still do well with weight on wheel instead of pulling weight. I explain this a little on my trailer review. Essentially the more weight transfer to the tire is greater than pulling weight behind you. However there still is a threshold that the vehicle just won’t overcome. I hope that helps. For the P16 I’m not sure why it would still lock like that but I’ve seen it. I believe they both need more power at the end of the day
I think you’ll not like the P12. I personally love it, but so many folks have complained about its power. I’ve solved that issue on prior videos. The 5600TS is great just thirsty
@@NProvince thanks for the reply I sold the p16 due to how it looked and it's limitations not due to how it drove, I kept it for a while but never loved it. after watching your video I think I'll give it a try. I've only one play through on hard mode so I still need a high saddle truck. Currently using the Derry. Thanks for the videos, very helpful and enjoyable to watch
2024 player here, I found the P12 very unstable and hard to drive in mud/snow/swamp/everything difficult. furthermore in his main role, - altough fully upgraded - with the multipurpose add-on or the superheavy crane, they affect badly his stability. for me it caused more damage than the pros it has
Per the code the P12 is actually pretty stable. You’re also using 2 very top heavy and heavy in general addons. Most vehicles are not impervious to those addons effects to center of gravity. Here is a video showing one of the hardest and most tippy areas for delivering logs and the P12 held this load down. ua-cam.com/video/B4pcbNvCAF4/v-deo.htmlsi=slNOX_yFU53gdUMH
@@NProvince great video. But I dont't know what to say, I feel very unconfortable with the P12... on the other hand I like the Bandit, wich is considered the most unstable truck in the game. After a good amout of videos and walkthroughs I start to think there are no good or bad trucks, good or bad tires, gearboxes, suspensions... every player has its own choice depending on his driving method. And that's why I like Snowrunner: no OP combo, everything is perfectly balanced.
I think it’s really just about perspective. After you get more into the game, you’re perspective of trucks changes and you start to develop standard of what feels uncomfortable and what doesn’t. There definitely are very OP vehicles in the game trust me on that, but I would say keep driving and challenging yourself. Massive respect for not reaching for one of those OP vehicles by the way! This channel has a lot of informational videos on driving mechanics as well that could help you out. Also stop by the stream and I can elaborate and answer questions when needed. Keep at it man! Trust me you’re doing fantastic
It's weird, I don't much like the P12. Even with engine upgrades, it always seems to struggle in rough terrain for me. It's not a bad truck at all, but it feels underpowered sometimes, it's weird.
Yeah this really aggravated me about the truck, especially for the price. Pacific trucks were primarily logging trucks, geared for very low top speed to have oodles of torque, and there are plenty of videos and pictures of them pulling 4-5 log trailers up some pretty significant grades. I bought the P12 and fully upgraded it, along with medium log frame + medium log trailer. I did find that it was among the most stable medium log haulers in the game, but it was just absolutely done in on the first medium incline it encountered on hard dirt. Had a "YOU HAD ONE JOB" moment, then immediately sold it and never looked back.
I'm not a fan of the p12 sold it fairly quickly after buying it it's just so gutless in my opinion. So many times I've got it in low- with not even a heavy load and upgraded engine and its just stuck because it doesn't have enough power to spin the tires they're all just jiggling back and fourth. I love the p16 it's one of my favorites of all time but the p12 was a disappointment for me.
A lot of folks share this same sentiment. Throughout this channel I’ve shown the P12 moving very heavy loads and even on uneven terrain with success. This is really what you need to do to allow its axles to unfreeze. Keep in mind that this is not going to make it a super truck by any means, but it changes things. ua-cam.com/video/qgGUehnFuKM/v-deo.htmlsi=rD3BaiMTPT66JQgn
well i bought it, put medium log frame, and logging trailer, and once i was loaded with logs, it got stuck on a small hill, and that was that, it literally had no power to even move 1 wheel. Absolute garbage truck, i will never buy it again. maybe its good on a flat road, but snowrunner isnt really a flat ground game. I rather use Azov 5319 and set up fuel stations, it has no issues
I made a video on how to make this truck able to pull more weight up hills. The P12 is one of my favs, it’s just not the most powerful due to its sheer size. I definitely would check it out that video.
@@NProvince thanks I will check it, I have checked out most of them though, but I won't check the videos for trucks I haven't bought yet, just not to spoil it 😀
it bugs me at the disrespect and underratedness of this truck and his brother! of course Russia has better trucks than America, we have MUCH BETTER ROADWAYS...they probably spent way more money and took much more time to develop their trucks because of their shitty country and always driving on horrific road systems! 😂
The P12 CAN be frustrating for sure. I think there are ways to make it work and I've been one of those who try and find those ways to do so. I have a few videos on the P12 doing some crazy things and a tip video to make pulling weight a little less frustrating. One of the hardest Logging missions: ua-cam.com/video/B4pcbNvCAF4/v-deo.html Pulling Potential: ua-cam.com/video/qgGUehnFuKM/v-deo.htmlsi=_jQp2IyBjOGi_gGz
I hate the devs and their "balancing" the reason why is that this thing in real life is no where near this weak...... The engine of this thing is just downright pathetic, no im not knocking those who like it but come on man, the engine is just so bad..... Trucks like these were made with a metric fuckload of power behind them, to ensure it could make it up a 5 degree incline...... But in game? Nope
I understand. It’s a great truck and I honestly and pretty bullish on it despite its pulling power. This might help though Maximize Pulling Potential By DOWNGRADING TIRES! ua-cam.com/video/qgGUehnFuKM/v-deo.html

if you're going to use it for logging missions where you have to carry logs uphill
prepare to winch
A LOT
Indeed. I honestly use it more as a support vehicle, except on my hardmode I try to use it for other things.
That’s so true… i was going uphill carrying long logs and couldn’t make it with this truck.

of course Russia has better trucks than America, we have MUCH BETTER ROADWAYS...they probably spent way more money and took much more time to develop their trucks because of their shitty country and always driving on horrific road systems! 😂
The P12 CAN be frustrating for sure. I think there are ways to make it work and I've been one of those who try and find those ways to do so. I have a few videos on the P12 doing some crazy things and a tip video to make pulling weight a little less frustrating.

I hate the devs and their "balancing" the reason why is that this thing in real life is no where near this weak...... The engine of this thing is just downright pathetic, no im not knocking those who like it but come on man, the engine is just so bad..... Trucks like these were made with a metric fuckload of power behind them, to ensure it could make it up a 5 degree incline...... But in game? Nope
I understand. It’s a great truck and I honestly and pretty bullish on it despite its pulling power. This might help though Maximize Pulling Potential By DOWNGRADING TIRES!
