Big Rigs

*"Although slow off the start, these diesel powered bullies are unstoppable once they get rolling and have the highest top-speed. Get in their way and you'll feel it, they do incredible damage. Just remember to brake in time, Big Rigs steer like a battleship." - Apocalypse Festival Card Description*

*"It goes without doubt that the big rig is the strongest vehicle class in the festival, because of their all-steel construction and pretty much the 20,000 pounds of weight they carry. While they have the weight to wreck almost anything instantly and are almost on par with Rally Cars on straights, but all that weight comes at the price of having the turn rate of a nuclear bomber and the acceleration of a snail. The best tactic for winning races when put up against smaller classes would be either to force the smaller classes into the rougher terrain, or just flat out go on a rampage and wreck everything in sight." - Muerte's Revenge Garage Description.*

*"They're more than capable of dishing it out and taking it, but because of their mediocre acceleration, they're not much of a speed based class, but purely an aggression-based class. The thing is, they can easily navigate any terrain, since we've replaced their conventional dually highway tires for single mud tires and a slight suspension lift, which definitely helps, since the conventional highway tires were causing them to be significantly slowed down in the rougher terrains." - Nevada Nitro Garage Description.*

*"Even though they can basically wreck anything with one ram, or sending certain vehicles significantly off course, these diesel-powered machines are really lacking in terms of off the line acceleration due to the weight they carry. None of that should matter once you get up to speed though, because once you're at the optimal speed, you're entirely unstoppable. However, it all comes at the price of having the turning rate and maneuverability of a submarine." - Outback Outrage Garage Description.*

*"The kings of pain have returned to the Festival. They're big, mean, and unstoppable. They take quite some time to get to speed because of their crappy acceleration, but once they do, you're guaranteed to have the last laugh, in the sense that anyone in your way is gonna feel the power that these diesel-powered bullies have. While they may have mediocre terrain capabilities, they're still able to cross most terrains with ease, granted the diff lock is on." - Return to the Wild Garage Description.*

*"It goes without doubt that big rigs are surprisingly just as well rounded as a racing truck, essentially being a big truck that is fast, can handle rough terrains, and dish out massive damage to any of its competitors, despite they definitely fall short of anyone's expectations in terms of having a turn rate and off the line acceleration. Despite we've fitted chains to their tires, they can still handle most terrains with ease, since we did take the liberty of outfitting them with custom all wheel drivetrains and permanently locked their differentials. However, none of that should really matter, since they are still unstoppable and quick on any straight line." - Untamed Tundra Garage Description.*

*"They're definitely outclassed by Monster Trucks, and their Dakar based brethren in terms of off the line acceleration, and they could definitely never be able to match the maneuverability of any other class, but they still retain their ability to be on par with any smaller vehicle class on a straight line. The thing is, nothing can stand in their way and survive a ram without instantly being wrecked, or being sent flying a significant distance off the track. To at least somewhat help with their maneuverability, we've fitted their previously single tires with super single mud tires that not only slightly aid their maneuverability, but also give them even better traction off road. Combine the super single tires with a locked rear diff and you've got yourself what could be a masterpiece of an off road vehicle." - King of the Hammers Garage Description*

*"They're unmatched in combat prowess, seeing to the fact that they have the straight up ability to force monster trucks to roll over, and wreck anything smaller than a rally car in one ram, but it all comes at the price of having absolutely terrible acceleration and maneuverability. The thing is, seeing they are an aggression based class, it's advised to use its superb terrain handling, weight and top speed to bowl any other vehicle off the track." - Transylvania Unleashed Description*

*"While they always will retain their leverage as the strongest vehicle class, all of their counterparts that the M.R.A. has allowed to participate in MotorStorm severely outclass them in most aspects, despite they are still the faster class, and still have their brute strength in common. Yes, you can still easily force monster trucks to roll over, and can still wreck almost any smaller class in one ram, but like any other big rig based class, you're a sitting duck off the line." - Off The Grid Description.*

## Trivia

* While all canonical Big Rigs retain the exhaust notes and horns they had in their respective games, the big rigs appearing in all fanonical MotorStorm Games, the only Big Rig to have a unique horn is the Atlas Bobtail, which shares the same horn as the International Transtar 4070A, which is a truck appearing in SnowRunner.
* However, the American-made Big Rigs debuting in later fanonical titles share the same horn and exhaust note as the International PayStar 5070, despite the European and Russian made Big Rigs share the same horn and exhaust note as the Azov 64-131, which are two trucks that also appear in SnowRunner
