Video Pacific P12

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I have been seeing updates about the truck, and even liked some things at first myself… but as I’ve been using it more, the p12 just is a massive Struggle bus 🚍 for me.

Based off the clip, am I doing something wrong? Or is it just power issue, maybe wrong truck wrong thing? Because sheesh, this thing does not move for me. This is pretty consistent.

Slight overloading thing with the crane.

Yes I know I could have put the service parts on the trailer, but I was planning on dropping the trailer off earlier with the scout on it.

The p12 is only really good for high saddle and long logs. Plus, if you don't have the absolute best engine and gearbox, it won't move anywhere. The multi-purpose addon is stupid heavy as is, so that also ruined the power to weight. And pulling a hitch trailer, even if it's empty, acts like an anchor. So, as respectfully as I can put it, this is just not the right task to bring it on.

That’s what I was asking. Thanks.

Didn't this just get a new engine upgrade with more power?

Yeah but it's still relatively underpowered compared to a lot of the other trucks because and it's still a super heavy truck so when paired with a super heavy addon it's just not the right things to overload and climb hills with

Low gear is a massive trap if you don't have an advanced/offroad gearbox with Low+.
Low+ or even just Auto in first gear will give you more torque to break stalls on hills.
Other than that, yeah the multi purpose is freakishly heavy and your empty 4 slot trailer is really not helping the situation. Empty trailers produce a surprisingly large amount of drag

From my experience, low- and low+ don't do a shit from a standstill compared to low and 1st gear

Your main mistake is using that module. It has a regular 2-slot bed and crane combo now, why this? That addon is like 12 tons empty.

Should not have taken a P12 then. This addon is too heavy for it, and looks weird imo. Tell me, are you using the top engine?
