Tayga 6436

The **Tayga 6436** is a truck in *SnowRunner*.

*A 6x6 off-road heavy truck, the 6436 is similar to many Eastern Bloc trucks in that it was originally designed as an army logistical workhorse. True to its roots, this model is outfitted with an impressively reliable gearbox and powertrain and is only nominally less fuel efficient than its counterparts. This vehicle is also notable for being outfitted with a non-disengagable AWD and differential lock.*

## Unlocking

Tayga 6436 can be unlocked either as a mission reward in the base game or as a exploration reward in Grand Harvest DLC. In the base game it is found on the Drowned Lands map in Taymyr on the course of SOS task. The mission is available immediately after visiting the Drowned Lands, player has to repair the Tayga 6436. Alternatively it is found via world exploration on the Crossroads map in Belozersk Glades. 6436 is located in the southwest corner of the map, in the Railway Station, it has minor damage and is equipped with a Avto-23 Heavy Crane. Acquiring the Tayga 6436 either way allows player to purchase more of this vehicle in the truck store afterwards, using one way to unlock the vehicle does not dismiss the other option to acquire it, and in doing so, grants player with another copy of this truck.

## Description

The Tayga 6436's design is based on the KrAZ-6443, a Ukrainian off-road 6x6 tractor truck. The Tayga much like the KrAZ-6443 features an extended cabin and a unique front end design where the headlights are integrated into the bumper rather then in the hood. The Tayga's bumper seems to be larger overall and its grill is angled towards the cab as opposed to the KrAZ-6443's flat grill design. The Tayga's fenders are also placed higher than the KrAZ-6443's fenders.

The Tayga 6436 has earned a reputation among Snowrunner players as one of the best off-road trucks with its excellent reliability. Its engine, Always On AWD and Differential Lock allows it to maintain reasonable speed on and off road. With a suspension lift and its massive 51' TMHS tires installed it can rip through mud with very little effort, often times low gears are not even needed unless maximum traction is desired. It also supports a wide variety of add-ons, making it exceptionally versatile.

The 6436 has a above average fuel tank size of 330L. Much like the Derry Longhorn 3194, it doesn't have the best fuel economy but is capable of handling long hauls with occasional stops for fuel.
