Off roading question

[Disgraced 1123]

Its me, Disgraced. They thought dressing me up in this "1.7.2.4 Patch" costume would humiliate me into not posting... But being a patch hanging out on some lady's stomach has its benefits.

Anyway.. I've been tooling around the northern ends of the map in my Scooby Van (aka S1203) for a couple of days now. I tend to drive through field and forest and only hit the roads when I want some speed.

So can any vehicles go "off road"? I notice that the van slows on certain terrain and climbs hills and mountains (even with "E" pressed), like a 90 year old lung cancer victim.

Do other vehicles climb better? Can they go faster off road?

I really want one of those Toyota pickups, but if the van is just as good, then any bother?

Motorcycles. Hard to control downhill, but overall faster off-road.

I was thinking today... I'd like to have one of those, too. Not to vehicle hoard, but to complement the van.

Then I realized. They must be so damned easy to hide. Any tree could conceal one. Never seen one in game.

The best vehicle to do some offroading with is UAZ, it can go up to 60-70 km/h with turbo in offroad. White pickup trucks are good too, only abit slower, motorbike has a terrible fuel consuption, but it's great offroad vehicle and it's pretty nimble, ATV is a better choice than the motorbike imo, fuel consuption is abit better than the mbks. it's also more durable,motorbike can just randomly blow up when you hit a bump ( don't ask )...
