SnowRunner - Chevrolet CK1500 Ultimate Review

The Chevrolet CK1500 late 80s - 90s work truck with creature comforts. It is the stereotypical pick-up truck, used for small business owners and farmers. It's not made for commercial use.

In SnowRunner, this is your starting truck by default, and a 2nd one can be found in the Smithville Dam map of Michigan. It is of the Scout category of trucks. Some repair parts and fuel external addons are available. Typical trailers are attachable. This is an okay scout truck to start with but it is neither reliable, nor does it have a large fuel reserve. It does not have Diff Lock always on and its steering & control are terrible. It’s not worth the trouble and investment – keep it in the garage so you can sell its addons and then sell the truck itself.
