- The Ford CLT9000 is basically Public Enemy #1 when it comes to the SnowRunner Community. Although a PURE Highway truck; its performance is surprising despite not having the revered AWD & DIFF Lock options.

Correction: This Vehicle is one of 3 Highway Trucks in the game*
Honestly, this is the most "back to basic" truck as possible as it can get. No AWD, No Diff-lock; just plain chassis and wheels to it. Great that you cover these type of truck man.
Totally agree, Glad you enjoyed the review :)
Your #6 downside I've noticed on other vehicles as well, it happens when you're in RWD and the front tires start to slide instead of turning due to just not having traction, while your powered tires have full traction.
That’s a good point and that’s true, but I also think the steering is somewhat sluggish. I didn’t have many examples other than that one turn where I had a full input in and it was slow to get the tire all the way turned and then it was slow to roll out. You are correct as well! Thank you for that!
It's really cool to have these highway trucks as an option in the game. Most people, myself included didn't even consider using one. I might try when I get a little more experienced later on 😎
They are tough to use, but I think you’ll have a blast trying to fit them into a role that you need
Starter player here. I bought the CLT9000 and tested it through Black River, Michigan. Here is some stuff i found worth sharing about the truck.
One of the jobs i took with the CLT was the first factory job hauling the heavy petrol tanker north, passing through some layers of asphalt and light dirt. To the way to the gas station where you can find the trailer i got myself stuck like a building just after leaving the garage. Got myself out using winches and got stuck again. Needed to get my Fleetstar to get myself out again.
Off-roading is not the way to go with the CLT, it is marked as a highway truck for that reason.
However, the CLT features speed. And by having most of its weight sitting by the rear wheels, among the weight of a semi trailer, the CLT manages to speed through most of small mud spots on the asphalt road between the town and the factory that even the Fleetstar couldn't handle withouth AWD and diff lock. And by having a snorkel option and decentish bigger tires from the beggining, it wasn't hard for me to get to the factory with the petrol trailer.
The CLT obviously lacks off-road capacity. However the winch is gonna be your best friend if you need it.
Considering running with a trailer attached, i usually use the step-deck trailer with the CLT, and the step-deck trailer has several useful whinch points that can get you out of sketchy situations. My technique is to winch the CLT next to a tree/post. Then winch the back if the trailer to the tree/post. The trailer length will bring the CLT closer to other winch points, and so on.
The truck features the snorkel and the bigger tires from the beggining. Not mentioning the raised suspension upgrade, that'll give you more options for tires. One customization tip from me is to stick with the stock bumper, as it gives a good clearance from the ground.
The big fuel tanks can get you tank damage easily, watch out for the terrain around the truck.
I hope it helps.
For a starter player that was a ton of great information! The CLT is a challenge to play being that its a highway truck, but making it work is such a good feeling. Im glad you started using it early game. I really wish I woulda done that. Thank you for that great information! I hope you enjoyed the video as well my friend
@@NProvince there is a diff lock mod that helps out with the CLT I took it through Alaska no problems at all that would be one of the cons taken care of
Actually, you don't need the raised suspension to install bigger tires. And it makes the Ford very tippy.
I love the looks & challenge of driving this truck. Also the interior looks amazing!
I love the way the cabover looks on this truck. Yea the interior does look really good too!
This is a really beautiful truck, especially driving it from the cab. The main thing it needs is a load over the rear axles. Also, I recommend taking the best possible winch in terms of length and power and it really makes up for the lack of awd and diff.
I absolutely agree with you!
One of my favorite trucks to drive. Once took a load from the garage in Black River all the way through Smithville Dam to Drummond Island just to let it flex its muscles. One of my most memorable trips in the game.
That’s amazing!
One of my favorites for a challenge. I primarily use it for the food run in Michigan and always loved these trucks in the real world. I have her lifted with mud tires and the off road gearbox.
This truck always reminds me of the one in the movie Armed and Dangerous. There's a black CLT 9000 towards the end of the movie hauling rocket fuel.
It reminds me of terminator 2 when T1000 is chasing John on his dirt bike
I haven't used this truck all that much yet, but I've definitely had fun when I have.
I used this truck a bunch in Alaska. Mostly because I just like the way it looks, but it was also a fun challenge.
Nice detailed video 👍🏻
Glad you liked it!
I honestly really love driving this truck. It's fun and challenging! And it looks and sounds awesome! It's like the Azov's evil brother
Huge fan of this truck as well. Love putting lesser trucks to use and getting good results with some patience :)
I've honestly never even used any of the highway trucks lol this would definitely be an interesting challenge though.
It really is a good challenge. I love these highway trucks
Just getting to your video now but I really want to try a highway truck only playthrough after watching this video! Nice job on the review.
That would be a pretty awesome challenge. I know someone who has done that and they loved it, but it’s pretty rough. Glad you enjoyed the review :)
I used it to deliver those really big trailers in Michigan and Alaska. The winch is a must.
That’s pretty neat that you used this truck!
@@NProvince I did it with the worse bumper for clearance. I'm getting back ito the game after quite a break. Haven't played since the first season. Also changed platforms so I now have a lot of the new hard mode to play.
That’s awesome! Glad to see you’ve come back! Hopefully some of these videos will help you out!
I have bypassed the logging missions while I look for upgrades to current trucks or a bigger truck, (I am not jumping ahead to Russia to get a better truck), so if I see this I will definitely give it a look as this video was more effective than my current trucks.
Good video. 😀
I really think for logging, the White Western Star, P16 & P12 are going to be really good for you. If you've been to Alaska then they also have some better options as well. Concerning the Ford CLT, Its a highway truck and doesnt have a ton of offroad capabilities without AWD and Diff lock as I mentioned here. It can do some things, but it is a highway truck for sure
@Nathan Province I do have a P12 but it was much slower than your driving with the CLT9000.
Once you have Offroad UOD II tires this and the Transtar isn't to bad. I take them out from time to time. I also say use the Offroad gearbox, to much wheel spin with the Highrange. All your going to do is dig yourself into a hole and get stuck. Use offroad with medium low and good tires and these trucks don't perform to differently from the P16.
As starting trucks though with only highway tires, yea avoid these things at all costs.
That said I wish Sabre would bring back the LTL9000 from MudRunner, that truck was so much cooler looking then the CTL9000. Never been that big a fan of cabovers personally, conventional trucks look way better.
Ya they arent to bad for highwat trucks. I wish they would get an AWD upgrade, but thats a long shot.
It is also cheap and fast. So can be used to bring a fuel tank to a strategic prosition, then you fuel guzzling off road trucks can refil just before leaving the paved road into the mud. And when done with the map your fast with collecting your fuel tank back into garage.
Hey, your voice really reminds me of youtuber rslash. Very pleasant voice btw. Keep up the good work!
hey thank you, Ill try my best and ill Check him out!
I've found this earned it's stripes in Alaska. It's still a bit of a donkey but I like the underdog trucks, like the little Zikz cab over.
this video made me try it out. Its miserable but its more fun than i expected for sure. will keep using it until i cant get any further
Glad you tried it out! I used it a lil on season 10 and it did well with logs. Just need some patience. It does feel good to make it work for sure
For real world trucks, they actually tend to have a fairly even 50/50 weight balance without a trailer hooked. Even cabovers that seem to have all the weight up front still have that same balance. Engines may be heavy, but so are the massive 10-ton truck axles with 8 wheels/tires, and fifth wheel plate.
As an aside, going from modern steel 24.5" wheels with 11r tires to single aluminum 22.5 with 275/70 tires can save over 1,500lbs across the truck and trailer, depending on tire type. This is why the large singles are so common on bulk haulers like milk, grain, etc.
This tractor was the one driven by Large Marge in Pee-wee's Big Adventure!
LOL i didnt know that
😂😂😂😂 bro I bout died lmfaooo!!!
Ford CLT is the best highway truck in my opinion
Heaviest of all three
fuel economy is unmatched
No AWD or diff, but it has raised suspension
decent price and unlocks very early
CRANE + BED + TRAILER COMBO
Let’s go!
I use the CLT all the time, I would put the maintenance cap or the fuel cap on the back drive it and park it somewhere's I probably had like 9 of those trucks around on different maps, never know when you might need fuel or a tire
When you say Alaska is good for its higher amount of actual roads, any other regions youd say have similar properies for such truck, so I know when "such" truck might be useful?
Thx in advance!
I’d say, Michigan, Alaska, Wisconsin (a little), Belizerzk Glades, Ontario, Scandinavia, North Carolina are some examples
A bit late to the party, but I'm just curious to see. Would you recommend this truck for Wisconsin? Recently I have found myself loving this truck more and more as I keep researching and watching videos about it. Also, do you think the Navistar 5000-MV feels at home in Maine?
So I think this truck would handle lighter to moderate spots on Wisconsin. I think it will do better on Grainwoods River, Wisconsin due to it not being a flooded bog.
If you like highway trucks, my friend DistrictB13_U on Twitch does a hardmode with all highway trucks and he does quite well. That will give you more of a visual on how much it can handle.
The first map on Maine (The Lowland), Alot of American trucks ran really good, on the second map (Yellowrock National Forest) its a little more challenging. The Navistar I think will do quite well even without diff lock. I did a review on the Navistar as well if you'd like to look at that too. :)
That was longwinded but I hope I answered your question.
@@NProvince Alrighty. Thanks man! I love all of your videos, especially the truck reviews and the "Route Runner" series. I hope all is well with you and keep up the amazing work! Cheers!
EDIT: Oh and you did answer my question. Thanks!
@@austinclapp8390 Thanl you so much!! Glad you enjoy them!
This truck does the best in Alaska.
It gets 5 for aesthetics for sure!
Indeed!
CLT9000, aka the powered trailer
I despise cabovers, in real life. If you ever had to get in and out of one 60+ times a day and you didn't have bad knees, you will.
Don't mind them in the game, though! 😄
Oh gosh, I bet they are tough getting into
@@NProvince I'm not a trucker myself, but I've heard they where also hard on the back as well. Had to do with the cabs being right out over the front axle and when they hit a bump, they hit hard.
If clark would like to confirm or deny that as it sounds like he has experience, I'd be interested. But comfort and less wear and tear on the driver is one of the main reasons I've heard that cabovers was phased out in America.
In a conventional the bab is back further behind the front axle rather then on top of it, so when they hit a bump a lot less of that energy from the impact gets transferred into the driver.
7:14 If it's in the Top 3 regarding fuel economy, what are the other 2 trucks that are great in fuel economy?
I would say number 1 is the Azov 64131. At number 2; this would be some trucks that have the largest engine (KZGT -8 530 T). Trucks like the Zikz, the Tatras and such have great consumption despite this massive engine. I could also throw in the transtar in there as well, but essentially under load those trucks fuel consumption doesn’t spike high like Americans trucks do. I hope that answered your question brother.
@@NProvince yes, thanks! Which engine would you recommend for the 64131?
@@danielranger1610 If you want the best Fuel economy, stock is always gonna be the best, however even if you full upgrade the 64131, its going to still be amazing on fuel. It all depends on if you feel you need more power.
It would be OK as a mobile petrol and maintenance station 🤔 Just park it up somewhere where there's no gas station.
Why do i need road trucks when i can use the heavy duties and offroaders?
Technically you dont need these at all. However, I have used these to great effect under moderately favorable conditions. They present a challenge, but they also are good support vehicles especially on maps that have large road networks (Alaska/Belozersk Glades) They can handle light offroad, but its really up to the driver on IF they wish to use them or not.
@@NProvince thank you.
But I thought there were only 3 Highway vehicles. Why did you say there were 5?
Ya that was one of those things where you mean to say something but something else comes out of your mouth. I meant to say 3, but somehow 5 came out. Apologies sir
@@NProvince Thank you for the clarification. I thought I was missing something. I was like oh are there maybe 2 secret trucks I don't know about?
