The Derry Longhorn 4520 is an truck in SnowRunner.
As the one military truck to rule them all, the Derry Longhorn 4520 is a heavy truck with a twist - literally. Unlike most regular transports, this model uses an extra rear steerable axle to increase its mobility. Add this feature to an excessively powerful engine and military-grade durability and you've got a terrifyingly capable, high performance transport vehicle, as long as you can afford to keep filling its fuel tanks!
Unlocking[]
The Derry Longhorn 4520 is unlocked very late game upon reaching the rank 24 allowing player to purchase it from the truck store for 125500 currency.
Description[]
The Derry Longhorn 4520 is based off the Oshkosh M1070, it is nearly identical with the only major changes being the design of the grill, bumper, addition of vents on the hood, and redesign of the windshield.
Though impressive looking, the 4520 suffers from a lack of engine power that cripples its performance despite its AWD and differential lock. Though it handles extremely well on flat roads and deep mud its weakness reveals itself when attempting to climb hills. Despite having a B+ in power to weight ratio with an upgraded engine, the 4520 struggles immensely while climbing hills. It will often try to erratically shift losing torque and in worse case scenarios, stopping completely and refusing to move even if put in a low gear. However, it is recommended to shift the truck into high low gear before the truck begins to climb up a slope. Phase 6 however introduces a new engine that resolves this lower power issue. With its new "Gb-8V 3200" engine the 4520 now produces an astounding 230,000 Ncm or 1696 foot pounds of torque making it more powerful than trucks like the Pacific P16 or ANK MK38, or even the Derry Longhorn 3194. This major increase in power greatly improves the vehicles performance and allows it to reach its maximum potential and compete with other trucks in its class.
Despite the lack of engine power, the 4520 handles extremely well. It has one of, if not the best turning radius in its class due to its rear axle steering in tandem with the front axle to improve turning. Caution should be used when driving the 4520 on uneven terrain due to its tall height making it susceptible to falling over if driven too fast. The 4520 is unlocked extremely late in game at rank 24.
The 4520 also possesses the fourth largest fuel tank in game at 400L, giving it a fair operating range despite its poor fuel economy.
Haul & Hustle[]

Cons[]
- Unlocked very late in game at rank 24.

Trivia[]
- On the passenger side of the 4520's dashboard a pair of data plates are visible. If free camera is used the plates can be read. Interestingly 1 plate is for a Toyota and the 2nd is for a Mercedes. Furthermore the Mercedes plate has a full Vehicle Identification number which matches the VIN for a limo owned by Vladimir Putin.
