Why Did They Turn This Military Monster Into a Civilian Truck?

  The MAZ 543 and 537 are some of my favourite trucks, i just love that design. It&apos;s like brutalism architecture on wheels.<br>When i was a kid i often saw Faun 50 and 56 tank transport trucks in germany. Also big and heavy 8x8 monsters, really loud, but they never made civilian versions, afaik.

  They are for those worker who hate their buddy so they have to sit in the other cab far away :) <br>I always have a use for these 4 axle giants in Mudrunner, as long as there is fuel around :)

  Cool trucks, remind me of the Oshkosh HEMTT, in production since 1982 and in civilian version a.o. driven by Rick Murphy of Murphys Diesel. It&apos;s a massive bad larry ! :)

  In Snowrunner my go to crane truck is a yellow ZiKZ 612H &quot;Mastodon&quot;(a in game equivalent of 7310). I found it to big and clunky for usual jobs, but as a crane it has no equal. It&quot;s wide stance and mass make it super stable(important aspect when using a crane in terrain that flipped a truck just trying to drive thru). It &nbsp;can easily to flip any other truck and even notoriously heavy mission trailers. I found it rather funny that my accidental paint choice to match it to the crane, was actually &nbsp;a historical tradition.

  The guy asking 40k for it might not be aware of todays fuel prices

  The engine displacement on this are twice as large as the biggest engine a Volvo truck have, that is quite massive engine...

  A 23 ton truck is in it&apos;s full rights to consume 8 times more fuel than a 1 ton car. Don&apos;t know if it&apos;s with load or not.

  Even lost in real world saber people always add this and a lot of similar vehicles on their videogames. As for snowrunner or mudrunner. They don&apos;t pay for the addition so small changes make - including names - is the trick. When using them to get through impossible terrain you always remember: &nbsp;a fuel tank is its best friend. You don&apos;t need anything else to get there.
