A very cool van-derived truck, with proportions that maximize bed space and a very mid-70’s color scheme. Nothing says 70’s like brown on brown.
Its HUGE 5.0L V6 makes 300 Nm at a low 2700 rpm directly to the rear wheels.
Points: 242.4

@oldmanbuick - Flint Cumberland Standard
A compact truck made to be used, the Flint Cumberland Standard is the most practical of the bunch with a practicality stat of 29!
And you might use it for a long time too, because it also has the 2nd highest reliability stat at 94.1.
It has a simple and compact 3.0L V6 producing 226.5 Nm at 3100 rpm.
Points: 266.6
Price: 12.500$
Score: 21.3
5th
@Aruna - Vizzuri VN02LW
A quirky but still very cohesive design with nice details.
An all-aluminum body on a corrosion-resistant steel chassis will ensure it lasts many years in the elements.
The engine is an all-blue, very capable 4.0L inline-6 making 299Nm at a low 2700 rpm.
Very good all-around engineering; it’s not the best in any category, but it scores consistently high in all of them.
Points: 294.6
Price: 13.700$
Score: 21.5

@Machalel - Vidar Fieldman (FN4) 330 Deluxe
A go-anywhere minty box with a very dramatic chrome-clad front fascia.
It´s 5.4L V8 producing 406.4Nm of torque should have no problem hauling what you need where you need it because the Vidar Fieldman has, by far, the highest off-road score at 79.4, well over twice the average of its competitors.
It is also the least comfortable, with comfpot score of just 8.
Points: 280.8
Price: 12.600$

3rd
@Karhgath - PILLAR 3200ML
A very utilitarian, heavy-duty-looking vehicle, which only makes finding out it’s made of aluminum and has half of a 6.4L V8 mounted transversely powering the front wheels even more unexpected.
The 3.2L inline-4 makes 261.7 Nm at a very low 1900 rpm.
It also has some very nice stats, being the 2nd highest utility at 100.1 and the lowest running costs at 646.2$. You can also plan to keep it for a long time because it has the highest environment resistance stat at 73.
Points: 335.3
Price: 14.000$
Score: 23.9
2nd
@moroza @ldub0775 - Centurion B150
A very imposing, premium-looking vehicle with a solid design made out of aluminum.
With the rear wheels powered by a substantial 5.4L inline-6 with a single top float carb, it makes 407.8Nm at a staggering low 1700rpm.
Pass this through its driveline with low ratios, and you’re sure to get the job done.
It has the higest Utility score at 107.4, the highest Reliability at 97, and almost the highest Environmental resistance at 72.3.
It’s only really hampered by the remanig stats being average, and having the lowest practicality at 18.
Points: 334
Price: 13.600$
Score: 24.6

@Ducethetruth100 - Wells Cub
A good-looking truck seems to be early decade, but utilitarian designs tend to stick for longer.
With some nice details all around, the Wells Cub seems ready and happy for the little jobs around the farm.
RWD and powered by a 2.0L inline-4, its simple ethos should keep you away from headaches.
Now, this may come as a surprise, but the Wells Cub has the lowest utility score of the bunch at 55.1… But! It makes up for it by having the highest drivability at 56.1, being the most fuel efficient at 8 km/L, being the 2nd cheapest to maintain while being one of the most reliable, and being an absolute BARGAIN at only 9.280$!
Yes, I’ll have the blue one, please!
Points: 239.8
Price: 9.280$
Score: 25.8
Thank you all for participating, see you on the next one!
