SnowRunner - Pacific P16 Ultimate Review

The Pacific Truck and Traiiler company of Vancouver, BC, Canada was in operation from the 70s to the early 80s. Pacific was known for making dependable trucks for mining, oilfields, construction sites, logging, and other specialty transport. Their trucks have such a following that to this day, companies pay for custom versions to be rebuilt. The Pacific P16 was one of a series of specialized industrial trucks launched by the company and its specialty was logging. Pretty much any reference to this truck or video of its work will show it logging, almost always the heaviest and longest of timber.

In SnowRunner, this truck is found in the Drummond Island map of Michigan, in perfect condition, fully fueled, though you will have to upgrade the engine and gearbox once you get it back to the garage. You don't really get any free upgrades, especially if you intend to upgrade the truck to its maximum, so some money will be spent on upgrading. As this and many other Pacific trucks were meant for mostly off-road transport and some on-road travel, their offroading tires were often the best available. While SnowRunner puts this truck in its HEAVY category, I made a special category of INDUSTRIAL HEAVY to distinguish these types of trucks from other heavy or heavy-duty trucks.
