It's clearly a marketing thing XD They were payed to give it those stats so people can drive around in the brand appropriate tires. I'd wager the HuMmEr H2 's performance ingame is better than in real life too.
@@tomfield8766 I think you cal it SUV overseas. Here in Russia SUV means a big car with some offroad inspiration, but the body style of an SUV can be either a wagon (the vast majority of SUVs) or a coupe (the likes of BMW X6). Very rarely SUVs come in phaeton (UAZ 3151 and I think some military G-Klasse trims as well, ), hatchback (SsangYong Actyon), etc. As for Jeep Wrangler I think it's also a phaeton since the dors come off and not roll their upper part like the windows in old Subarus. But you call it a convertible. You call everything topless a convertible. That's definitely much more convenient. We also have different words for a small pickup truck and a big truck. We call big trucks trucks but a pickup truck is just a "pickup". We consider it something closer to an SUV rather than a large truck. Oh, and we call every small vehicle (including pickup trucks) a car. We don't differentiate unibody "cars" and body on frame "trucks". And specifically in the russian far east we have the word "micro truck" which we use to describe small japanese (also korean, chinese) cabover trucks, the likes of Toyota Dyna or Nissan Atlas. In the western part of Russia (actually, in the entire Russia) the word "gazelle" is used for any truck or van similar to Ford Transit or Mercedes-Benz Sprinter because they look like the legendary russian small truck ГАЗель
@@Ipwnboobz We would call Jeep Gladiator just "pickup" (пи'кап - stress on the last syllable). I forgot to mention that some people here may call any SUV a "jeep" (джип). But more educated people use the word "offroader" (внедо'рожник). And some people may call Jeep Gladiator внедорожник but for most russians it's a пикап since it has a bed. The fun thing is that we never see uncommon types of bed like flat bed and the look of let's say F150 with flat bed may confuse a russian person since we don't have the correct word for such a vehicle. It's a pickup truck... but not quite😂 The most educated people know the word "crossover" (крос'совер). But all those types of vehicles are cars (ма'шина - this word comes from "machine" but we very rarely use it to describe anything but an atomobile; by the way we also use the word автомо'биль but it's very formal).
The bigger advantages of the H2 aren't even tested or thought of. The H2 has a lower center of gravity and a wider wheelbase so it's generally much harder to flip while the chevy gets very tipsy easily.
I believe the extra ground clearance is why the chevy does better in mud. It's a compromise so it's about choosing whether you want more offroad capability or more stability, though the autonomous winch might help when you roll the truck.
@@Turgz If you look closely, there's not much difference in clearance height between the two in-game. The Chevy does better in the mud because its lighter. Mud is opposite of snow in that you want to avoid digging in as much as possible and flow on top of the mud as much as possible. Snow is naturally like so you want to dig into snow to maximize traction. The H2 being a larger and heavier vehicle has a lower center of gravity and tends to tip over a lot less than the pickup truck because a lot of the pickup truck's relative weight is well above the axles where the H2 carries a lot of it's proportional weight closer to the axles which is helped by its wider wheelbase. With mud, you want to be as light as possible unless you can push weight to the other extra and be heavy enough that your vehicle's momentum just forces its way through the mud. With smaller vehicles like the scout class, lighter weight will make better mud trucks as neither of this trucks can get the dozens of tons required to get the tractor affect a super heavy mass has. I still feel the bigger difference between the two, and what makes the H2 a better overall vehicle is that it's much more stable than the pickup which makes traversing some of the more difficult areas much easier.
that is what i feel as hummer is a better climbing steep inclines sideways, chevy is a general all-rounder and scout 800 is lightness and LSD installed form start makes it a little mountain-goat, now i have to test the Russian cars to to se how they fair to
I did my part - now do yours. He probably didn’t see the comment but a lot of people are going to say that because the Hummer may perform better with its standard tires
Bonus. Chevy also floats. I got the 1km drive through water achievement in the Smithville dam map by....falling off... yeah... made it out too! Took a good ten minutes to float close enough to the shore to winch onto something, repaired my destroyed engine, and drive onto the beach. Then I recovered cause no gas, but still!
Surprisingly, I discovered the Twinsteer floats as well, sort of. The back sinks, but the front floats, so you can keep the engine running. Weirdly enough, it can actually sort of drive in the water too, accelerating moves the truck forwards a bit somehow, and the steering actually semi-works as well, just make sure you don’t flip the thing over and it can legitimately cross rivers. Not sure how it’s possible, might be a bug with the physics engine, but it was a very entertaining thing to mess with once I discovered it. Might have to test it again just to make sure it hasn’t been patched out in the last little while
@Ian Goschman I've got the second V6, which has a little more power than the standard but doesn't use more fuel and it's served me well so far with mud tires. It's the closest upgrade in the Dam in michigan, along the road to the right and up the hill. I wonder what the third V6 will be like which has more power and uses more fuel but not as much as the V8.
I pull the scout fuel trailer with me everywhere! I know it takes me longer and I use more fuel to get there but I have cleared entire maps without having to worry about fuel whereas the first map I had to stop several times due to fuel even with the starter engine.
@Ian Goschman 10/10 The loadstar is awesome once you get the raised suspension and unlock the offroad tires.. Until then, prepare to get center-hung a lot.. the gas tank hangs down low enough to catch on rocks or deep mud and get you stuck.
@@caspervore Yep I've towed the scout fuel trailer across all 3 maps in Alaska, getting every watch point along the way, and still had roughly 500 liters of fuel left.
If you think that ck1500 is better than Hummer I may prove you wrong because in my hard mode game that Chevy was a true beast for me untill I got Hummer from Alaska I brought it back in black river where I towed a broken Chevy Kodiak c70 and a fuel trailer in road full of mud while going uphill in my Hummer H2 where even my fleetstar got stuck all that with fuel efficiency of 1.7 liters average and whole rescue took 5 litre of fuel the distance was from black river fuel station to garage .I don't mean that Chevy is useless it's also a true beast but has worst fuel economy and it's pretty old
@@bryanribey honestly not that long most of the them are on the first 2 Michigan maps and there are youtube videos showing where the upgrade locations are anyway :)
Thanks for the videos. Recently started playing this game and found your videos interesting and helpful. My only complaint with these tests is the cars are always maxed. Though I understand why you test that way it’s difficult for me to pick the better truck because I just don’t have the upgrades. I’d love to see a video of best truck per category for early game
On the swamp test, it’s the poor break over angle of the h2 that’s causing the rocker panels to catch in the mud, which is why it’s slower than the Chevy. The weight difference might contribute a little bit though.
@@stiaanjacobs1985 He was for some reason correcting your spelling even though this is a type of social media platform, where perfect grammar means nothing, and not required.
i main my f750 as my scout. huge gas tank and never had any trouble getting into any places or getting in any mud. i like the ability to have the crane on the bed and flat bed for a one slot cargo if needed
When you have the fuel and repair addons on the hummer it makes it super slow. Even with the freeway gearbox it's a slug, as soon as you take those off it's a rocket again 😂. A few Jerry cans and little boxes shouldn't bog a truck down at all. Preaty sure it's a bug but I'm not sure they would even know it exists I haven't seen anyone commenting on it unfortunately. 🤨
I could see adding one of the games time trials into your comparison. One like employee dislocation would give a good comparison in a head to head competition with steep declines, tight corners all sorts of mud, and a few patches of snow for good measure.
After upgrading the Chevy I found it to be the only scout I used... It's quick, very capable off road and seems to haul some heavy out of the mud with a bit of winching... Only thing is the fuel consumption but adding the roof rack pretty much fixed that
What I would love to have as a DLC vehicle would be na early eighties F150 flareside/stepside whichever one it is, or an early eighties Bronco or K5 Blazer or all three. Those would be my most driven vehicles if they were added.
Stats the stock are better. But the bigger mud tyres give extra lift which helps heaps with the hummer as it’s quite low and definately perform better, other than on the road
I've only used the stock tires, and even without a lift kit, the H2 outperforms my fully upgraded Chevy on any surface it drives on. Pulls a full-size service trailer through snow pretty easily too
Note to everyone say 'The Hummer stock tyres are better!'. They aren't. The actual datamined numbers show they are quite poor on mud and the small diamterer will mean getting bogged a lot. The onscreen rating is seperate from the actual grip values that the physics engine uses.
I end up with my chevy most of the time. If i need to tow something in deeper water i would use hummer but usally i use my old paystar 5070. Do not know if i am crazy here but i really love those first trucks that i got in the game.
Same. I believe if more folks would have just stuck with the early game trucks like the Chevy and Fleetstar and not immediately running off and grabbing the Hummer and Tayga they would have seen they are actually quite good once you get them upgraded. Definitely takes longer to finish the game tho so I understand why folks do it.
Finished Michigan 100% and just started Alaska. I just scout with my trucks, usually the white. The scouts get stuck too easily. Only use scout if my truck doesn't physically fit through a narrow road or something.
it doesn't matter with autonomous winch...which is a must have upgrade.... although I'll try to do such test but right now we don't have modded maps and stuff available
When you're done covering the scouts, I'd love to see a video comparing the royal bm7..I think its called. My favorite truck so far, although it likes to topple over a lot.
Royal...I used royal, it's good but has some issues, In low gear the lack of diff lock is really noticable and tire spin in auto 1st is too high...but it's still a very good truck... currently using it in Russian maps
Nice tests. And Thank you for your Time and Videos. Very good work and presentation. On my Hummer H2, I kept the original 36” Hummer H2 Tires. It makes it a better all around Scouting truck. Their Stats are Excellent on all Surfaces. (Road, Mud & Off-road) not Snow & Ice
SD1ONE, Any chance you could make a guide on the locations of all the upgrade parts in each of the regions? Including the hidden parts that don't show when discovering a Watch Tower?
Vehicle height and weight matter most in the mud. The hummer begins to push a front of mud out ahead of itself. That's why it slows down... and this is also why the Scout is so good in the mud. It's so light that it basically wheelies it's way through bogs and never gets stuck, even with the smaller mud tires.
Can you please compare 2 Freightliners? The 114SD and that one from the cover. Freightliner is like my favorite brand in the game and I want one very badly but I can't wait to unlock them and try by myself
From my experience the hummer performs better with its stock h2 wheels. And I'd like to see you do a mud test with the small flat deck scout trailer with a load on it. Curious as to what is the best scout for doing work. Because we already know the khan is better at almost everything else
H2 is much more stable over any terrain, low centered, also with stock tires can go on snow/icy roads better unstable with mud tires on the road or ice
@@SD1ONE Thanks for clarifying. Can i pls suggest 1 thing - There are very less to no videos which shows a multiplayer off road race from A to B.. Can you pls make one when you get time?
I'm partial to the Silverado, probably because I had a '92 4x2 and currently have a '99 Tahoe. Unless the Silverado is supposed to have a 454, the H2 would have done worse on gas in real life because of the bigger engine and much higher weight. My wife had a Trailblazer and that got the same mileage as my Tahoe. Even though it had a smaller engine, less capacity, was newer, but weighed more.
How about the Royal RB 17 vs the White Western Star? They're both absolute beasts and nothing seems to stop either of them except waterlogged mud and sand.
Ever tried the International Paystar? It has much better ground clearance than the Western star and the stock Royal. And I really didn't see much of a difference between the western star and the fleetstar except for a tiny bit more ground clearance because of 1' bigger wheels and a weaker engine. I'd even say the fleetstar is better.
Hammer with OS l 39" is Better Change my mind , OS I 39" is TALLER than the Default 36" tire and the 39" MUD tire is A little sorter than the 36" stock tire because its very soft and with less air for better traction BUT when the belly of the car touch the ground whatever tire you have you will be stuck , so the OS l is 39" is like 3-4" taller than the Mud tire 39" so it give more cleanse. ( recently change them from stock tires very happy with the performance and i used stock tires form 6lv to 29lv )
Never played these kind of game b4 but loving this game. Great video bro and question I've heard these isuee which sterling wheels?? Which work well and not to much to buy.. I'm on PC but use my xbox controller thanks
8V is a very fuel hungry engine (it consumes fuel as a goddamn truck) also this engine is very powerful for this car and can be the cause of flipping and sinking easier into the mud even on the low gear. My setup for this car is 6V4.4 engine and highway gear box (for good fuel economy and supporting H gear). Yes it is slow but it goes everywhere (even on snow) and it's very fuel friendly. A good choice for beginners.
International Loadstar 1700 is my favorite among the "scouts" as you got full time diff lock and awd, and can use a crane and do recover missions. what will it be pitched against?
I don't know why we didn't get the H1, even the civilian version Vs the H2. However driving both I knew from before viewing this the H2 is a better scout.
can you test the TUZ 166 vs any of the other scouts? i wanna see the performance of it. it would be nice if you included the time it takes for each truck to finish the test, that way we could compare the trucks and have a benchmark. just an idea.
Can you please do a comparison between the stock H2 tyres and the rest of them? As the stock tyres show excellent on everything but im sure it must be a glitch or something?
I think this would have been a better match up if you used the hummer h2 tires as they are not equal vehicles and you should use the best for each vehicle.
Your test is missing a critical thing. The biggest advantage to a Hummer compared to any truck, this is more the H1 than H2 but still works, is the width. Hummers are wider and therefore have more stability when driving on the side of a mountain. You can drive a Hummer, H1 at least, on a 40 degree grade and not risk tipping over. I highly doubt the Chevy with it's higher center of gravity and thinner frame can do that. I was in the military in 1986 when they switched from Jeeps to Hummers and got to test them extensively and was amazed with what could now be done that a Jeep could never do. In game I'm early in the game so the Hummer is way better than the Chevy for now.
