Plan your next Truckful session
Our independent guide breaks down Truckful’s core systems—upgrades, cargo, exploration, handling and platform features—so you can observe how each element interacts and make informed choices without relying on undocumented shortcuts.
01 / THE GUIDE
Weight vs. Speed
Run the same winding route before and after reducing truck weight. Record travel times and note how lighter setups affect cornering and overall pace, then decide the optimal balance for typical cargo.
- Focus on weight‑reduction upgrades early to notice speed gains on winding roads.
- Compare upgrade options from different villagers to match the cargo you most often transport.
02 / THE GUIDE
Cargo Stability Test
Load a fragile item alongside a heavy one, then drive a steep hill. Watch any shift in the cargo bed and adjust packing order for future deliveries based on the observed movement.
- Place fragile items near the centre of the bed to reduce sway during sharp turns.
- Choose routes that avoid steep inclines when transporting perishable goods.
03 / THE GUIDE
Route Mapping
Sketch discovered hidden paths on paper. Compare their distance and terrain difficulty to main roads, identifying shortcuts that may save time on repeat errands.
- Take note of distinctive landmarks that lead to less‑traveled routes.
- Mark discovered secrets on a simple sketch to avoid missing them later.
04 / THE GUIDE
Controller Feel Comparison
Play a short segment using a DualShock controller, then repeat it with a DualSense. Note how each controller feels in your hands to choose the one that best suits your handling style.
- Test braking distances after each upgrade to adjust your driving style.
- Watch how cargo shifts on slopes to anticipate handling changes.
05 / THE GUIDE
Upgrade Impact Log
After each upgrade, write down changes in acceleration, braking and cargo capacity. Use these notes to prioritize future upgrades that align with the types of deliveries you enjoy most.
- Enable Steam Cloud to keep deliveries synced across devices.
- Try both DualShock and DualSense controllers to find the feel you prefer.
