The Pacific P16 is a licensed truck in SnowRunner.
Like the lighter P12, the Pacific P16 was designed for the logging industry. However, as a super heavy off-road truck, the P16 is slow, clunky and massive. It may not break any speed records, but it has the ability to traverse terrain unfit for most other trucks. Like its lighter cousin, the P16 requires some engine upgrades to make it truly shine.
Unlocking[]
- The Pacific P16 is found via world exploration on the Drummond Island map in Michigan. It is located in the northeast of the fuel station parked at a trailer park in pristine condition. The Pacific P16 is granted to the player for free upon reaching it and player is able to purchase more of this vehicle in the truck store afterwards.
Description[]
Built between the 70's and 90's in Canada to haul heavy cargo in some of the toughest roads in North America, the P16 does its job extremely well. Despite having no AWD the P16 can simply get through mud with its unique tires, monstrous torque, and always on differential lock. The P16 is still in use by several logging companies even to this day.
Despite its massive 14-liter V12 engine that causes it to drain lots of fuel, the P16 is actually quite fuel-efficient for its size. Combined with its massive fuel tank the P16 will rarely run out of fuel unless driven by a careless player. The P16's default tire set is tied with the Pacific P512 PF for the second-best off-roading tires in the whole game, only beaten by TUZ 420 "Tatarin"'s Mud Tires' traction on mud. Also, it can haul both long logs and heavy semitrailers due to the saddle high and log carrier front add-ons. Outside of these, the P16 is also able to hitch regular trailers and uses them just as effectively as many other trucks.
P16 however is a little too wide, and can get stuck in narrow passages. Furthermore due to its extremely large size recovering it with another vehicle can be next to impossible if it gets stuck. The P16 also lacks any options for tires, so as much as it works on dirt and mud, it's useless on ice. Additionally, its extreme lack of add-ons will often require support from other vehicles.
Pros[]
- Free truck available early in the game.
- Its incredibly wide track allows it to, in most cases, rescue itself and other vehicles without being impeded significantly by terrain.
- Always On Diff Lock.
- Heavy weight on the back axles means that it doesn't need any load for grip in muddy terrain.
- Stock tires provide excellent traction on mud and dirt.
- Decent fuel consumption for a truck of its size and capability.
- One of the best trucks available to haul long logs, true to its real life purpose.
Cons[]
- Struggles in rough terrain somewhat due to its width and lack of AWD.
- Can easily be tipped over or get caught on trees in narrow routes, meaning it's better to take another vehicle or simply go around.
- Very limited add-on selection, with only saddle high and log carrier front.
- Can't be used on ice due to lacking other tire options.
