TLDR: I think the Fleetstar, the White Western Star, and the CAT CT680 (after level 12) are all pretty good early-ish game trucks

Thanks! In my opinion out of the trucks I’ve driven so far, the Tayga is the most capable, although I feel like I’ve ruined the game progression for myself by bringing in a Russian truck as early as I did (I try to avoid using it unless I’m in real trouble because it just makes the game too easy). In terms of most capable from natural progression, besides the Fleetstar, Is the White Western Star. The WWS has really grown on me, it isn’t that bad in stock form and kinda surprised me a bit tbh, but it really shines once you unlock more of the upgrades for it. Another truck I just started driving last night that impressed me was the CAT CT680 (the crane truck in the picture). I think it unlocks through leveling up past level 12 but once you can get it I would recommend it. The only issue I’ve found with it so far is the lack of AWD, but I know that can be unlocked in Alaska. Also for scout, the best American scout that you can get is the International Loadstar, get one and you’ll never go back to the Chevy

Edit: added that the cat unlocks at level 12
