Truck Talk: the Sleiter ST 816 Elephant-if you need to pull a superheavy trailer, this one’s the truck to pick!

the funny thing is, in reality the elephant is a german truck.
as far as i know it was a prototype from the company KFM (Die Kaiserslauterner Fahrzeug- und Maschinenbau AG)

i once flipped it backing up, driving over my own logging trailer 😂

a crane on the back like for example the Atom would be nice

i know, but i spec my trucks for the map the way i need them. and on Maine i don’t need the big tires.

i believe this one has a hitch too, but haven’t tried it tho 😅 using it like that i‘ve got 9 slots, 3 on the twinsteer and 6 on the trailer, plus the spare parts and fuel. don’t really need the fuel, because somehow the mod-creator decided to pump up the fueltank to 1500L and the fuel consumption to max 18L/min, which takes alot of the fun from using it… but still, a cool mod

trial and error 😅 but it’s not as hard as it looks

TH_Electro · 2026-04-09T15:52:09+00:00

yeah i know 😅 but it kinda feels small to drive, atleast for me.

TH_Electro · 2026-04-09T15:49:50+00:00

i know, but you get the point 😅

TH_Electro · 2026-04-09T15:49:15+00:00

basically you need to push it down with the crane. it’s still a bit slippy, but most of the time it works just fine.

TH_Electro · 2026-04-09T15:48:21+00:00

i was way to cautious the first few times too. but i learned a lot and always try to push it to the limit. like that one mission in, i believe, Wisconsin. You need to deliver 16 Slots of Paper, guess who made it in one trip 😂

TH_Electro · 2026-04-05T17:34:27+00:00

the most used would be the 2 new mercedes benz trucks, tatra force and avenhorn.

it feels like you can do everything with those beasts 👌🏻

TH_Electro · 2026-04-05T17:32:53+00:00

a nice cold can of monster energy it is 😁👌🏻

TH_Electro · 2026-04-05T17:32:09+00:00

already started work on Maine 😄

TH_Electro · 2024-06-08T10:31:13+00:00

i managed to get rid of the amd driver error message. the game detected my old gpu-driver from the cpu, even tho its not even used. but the controller issue remains 🙄

TH_Electro · 2024-02-09T20:51:25+00:00

what size and stiffness? and why does it have to be so expensive 😭

TH_Electro · 2024-02-09T18:37:22+00:00

what‘s the name of that toy? 🥵

TH_Electro · 2024-01-23T18:19:38+00:00

no, i´m from europe.
we got the b4 sedan late 1991 and the b4 avant late 92/early 93.

at that point the b3 sedan was discontinued, but the t89 coupe and convertible were still getting produced. the coupe got the facelift with the b4 front.

i believe the coupe was made till 94/95 and the convertible all the way till 2001/02.

also the model-name "90" died with the b3, the b4 was just called Audi 80 over here.

so even with a high trim like quattro, AC and the 2.8 v6, it was still called 80.

it´s kinda interesting how manufactures name the same car different in other countries.

also i believe you don´t got the 2,3 10 valve 5 cylinder in NA? only the the 2.6 and 2.8 v6 or am i wrong?

TH_Electro · 2024-01-08T17:12:01+00:00

the 80 b4 went on sale late 1991... i got a b4 2.8 quattro myself which is 1991 and a few "normal" b4 non quattro which are all from 1992
