The Tierlist:

Additional Info

Vehicles have been ranked based on their purposes. For example, the Hummer H1 has NOT been ranked based on its log carrying capacity (because its log carrying capacity is nonexistent).

However, some things that were considered across ALL vehicles include:
-Offroad performance (does it have AWD or diff-lock?)
-Fuel capacity & fuel efficiency
-Addons (how many addons does the vehicle have, and how useful are they?)
-How many balance points does the vehicle cost? (if applicable)

In the sections below, I provide descriptions of each vehicle, and why it's been placed in its respective tier.

I'll keep these descriptions brief. If you'd like an in-depth review of each vehicle, consider reading this guide by HuskyDynamics. I have read this guide in its entirety, and I've found it incredibly informative.

Obviously, this guide is not objective, and is subject to change. If you believe a vehicle should be placed differently, leave a comment!

S-Tier

Hummer H1
The best scout. I know the Chevy Napco is right below it in A-tier, but it's not even remotely close. The Hummer tackles offroad terrain better than trucks 3x its size.

C-260
The perfect 6x6. Boasts exceptional offroad performance and immense pulling power. Has access to more addons than any other vehicle in the game, including all 3 log types and 2 different cranes, making this the only vehicle in the game that can self-load all 3 log types. Has a huge appetite for fuel, but as long as you keep it fed, it'll do everything.

K-700
The 700 is the most capable offroader in the game, and it can pull just about anything to anywhere. Like the 260, has a small fuel tank for its huge appetite, but if it's kept fed it's unstoppable. The fact it costs 4 balance points is irrelevant because one spawns on almost every map.

A-Tier

Chevy Napco 3100
Objectively the best addon selection of any scout. Performance is above-average as well.

C-255
Very similar to the 260. The only thing holding it back from S-tier is that it can only self-load short logs.

C-4310
Your standard 6x6 cabover. Of all the medium-sized 6x6s, I think this one performs the best. It's fast and reliable.

C-65111
Does not perform as well as the 4310, but has a WAY bigger fuel tank and a better selection of addons (including 2 cranes, like the 260).

E-7310
The biggest, heaviest truck available. It's one of only 2 vehicles that can haul 8 log points without a winch, and it can also be used as a support truck with its gargantuan fuel cistern.

E-7429
The other vehicle that can haul 8 log points without a winch. I like the 7310 more, but I think they both still belong in the same tier.

B-Tier

A-469
Your standard scout. Nothing interesting to note, it'll get the job done.

Ford F150
Your standard scout, American edition. I think the 469 is more reliable, but they belong in the same tier.

B-131
The "Little Engine that Could" of MudRunner. Most 6x6 trucks cost 3 balance points. This one only costs 2, but can still do most of the same stuff that the big boys can. The singular thing holding it back from A-tier is that it has no crane.

C-375
Your standard 6x6. It's beneath the 260 and 255 because it can't haul long logs, and it's beneath the 4310 and 65111 because I think the cabovers perform better as medium-sized 6x6s.

C-4320
Functionally identical to the 375. This one is beige instead of soviet green, and can't be selected at the beginning of a game.

C-432010
Same stats and addon selection as the 375 and 4320, but this one is bigger and more powerful. I don't think these qualities warrant a different ranking, though.

C-256
A beige variant of the 255 that has no AWD, and uses standard road tires instead of big chunky mud tires. However, it only costs 1 balance point, and is easily the most capable vehicle in the game that costs as such.

C-6317
A gigantic 6x6 cabover with always-on diff lock. Extremely capable, but unfortunately it costs 4 balance points and lacks the vast addon selection of the 260 and 255.

Western Star 6900 XD
The most capable American 6x6, owing to its AWD capability and huge tires. I find the 260 and 255 perform better in mud and have better addon selections.

C-Tier

A-3151
A blue variant of the 469 with bigger wheels and more power. You'd think these qualities would be an upgrade, but really they just make it less reliable and harder to control.

A-969
The smallest and lightest vehicle in the game. I actually really like this little truck for its unique selection of addons. Unfortunately the wheels are tiny and its fuel tank is half the size of other scouts.

Chevy K5 Blazer
Similar to the F150, but runs at a much higher gear which makes it more difficult to control and more prone to digging in mud.

C-65115
A yellow variant of the 65111 with no AWD or diff lock. It also has no crane. However, it can haul all 3 log types, and is the fastest vehicle in the game by an immense margin. Sadly can't be selected at the beginning of a game, and only spawns on a few maps.

Freightliner FLD120
Basically the Western Star but with no AWD and smaller tires. As far as vehicles that cost 2 balance points go, I think it's better than the Ford LTL and Chevy Bison, but still worse than the 131.

K-8400 Skidder
The American equivalent to the 700. An undoubtedly exceptional offroader, but its loader is terrible.

D-537
Very capable, but the 7310 and 7429 are just better as far as the 8x8s go.

D-535
Functionally identical to the 537. This one can't be selected at the beginning of a game.

D-Tier

GMC DW950
No AWD or crane. Only costs 1 balance point, but so does the 256 which offers much more.

Ford LTL9000
No AWD or crane. The 131 is better for the same balance cost.

Chevy Bison
Functionally identical to the Ford LTL. I like the Ford more, but I still think they belong in the same tier.

B-66
A very capable and agile little truck. Unfortunately, the 131 can do pretty much all the same things, plus more, for the same balance cost.

D-538
Laughably incapable for a truck that costs 4 balance points. The only thing saving it from F-tier is that it features a crane.

K-9000 Forwarder
If it could haul 8 log points like the other trucks that cost 5 balance points, I'd put it 1 or 2 tiers higher. But since it can only do 7, D-tier is where it belongs.

F-Tier

A-968M
Self-explanatory.

B-130
No AWD or diff lock to be seen. Driving this under any circumstance is pure torture.

B-6A
On paper, the stats actually aren't too bad, but lack of AWD shows in mud, and for 1 balance point you can get a proper scout like the Hummer.
