SnowRunner - International Fleetstar F2070A Ultimate Review

This was an early 60s - early 70s heavy-duty truck, most frequently used for commercial logistics but capable of everything that a typical heavy-duty truck can handle - dumbtrucks, fire engines, farming applications, etc. Since it's a heavy-duty hauler, it was the most common use and most frequently on the highway.

In SnowRunner, this truck is found in the garage in Michigan's first map, completely damaged, except the body is 100%. In real life, this truck was a highway truck but had offroad uses, as it's a typical heavy-duty truck. The game gives you free upgrades in Michigan for its AWD and Diff Lock as well as a Raised suspension, and you can upgrade the tires to Offroad. Add to that an engine upgrade and you've got yourself a decent offroad hauler, which is the most frequent use in SnowRunner. Pretty much all of your trucks have to be converted to heavy offroaders, mudders, and snowrunners. The Fleetstar is the first such truck you encounter and is a staple for the fleet in most beginner playthroughs.
