DON 71

The **DON 71** is an off-road car in *SnowRunner* and *Expeditions*.

*The Don 71 is a Russian classic, dependable and tenacious. It may be small, but it will take you far.*

## Description

The DON 71 is primarily based off the Lada Niva 21213, a cross-over of a small SUV and hatchback sedan made in the Soviet union as a reliable vehicle for farmers and civilians who lived in rural areas.

The DON 71 possesses both a differential lock and AWD without needing any upgrades already giving it an advantage off-road. It also is able to equipped with the "Tuned custom" suspension lift giving it massive clearance and the ability to mount 35" tires giving it the potential to be a force to be reckoned with off-road.

The DON 71s stock engine though lacking torque does provide the vehicle with enough power to get through deep mud with low fuel consumption at the cost of overall speed. A larger engine can net it a large power and durability boost with only moderate increase in fuel cost.

The DON 71s biggest weakness however is its extremely small fuel tank. At only 42L of fuel it is the 2nd smallest fuel tank size out of any vehicle in the game. This isnt a problem with the vehicles stock engine but if a bigger engine is used it can become a problem if long distance scouting is desired.

## Trivia

* In a pre-release promotional image featuring the DON 71 and its specs, it is listed as having no option for a differential lock. A differential lock was likely added late in development to allow the DON 71 to compete with other scouts.
* The DON 71 is the lightest vehicle in SnowRunner at 1200 kg.
* The license plate on the 71 in SnowRunner reads КЭП, which translates to "cap" in english. This may simply be an abbreviation of Captain.
* The license plate on the 71 in Expeditions reads FORM1K4, which means "formika" and shows three promo materials: formicae, which translates to "ants" in english, FORMIKA, a polish company known for plastics and formica, a kind of composite that's been used as a substitute for many things.
