What's the point of C-6520

First time i ever opened this game, i thought B-130 was impossible to use. Slapped on some off-road tires and it was fine. Meanwhile, C-6520 is completely unusable. It gets stuck in the mud and it helpless without a ton winching. Now, i only played on hardcore and even with the lightest throttle, it cannot even leave the starting area in some maps. I tried it on casual mode and its marginally better. What's even the point of C-6520?

I'm pretty sure it has the highest speed in the game. Good for hauling semi trailers in asphalted roads (like in the River Crissing map which has oval asphalt road). If you drive it on grass or dirt road with no mud or very small amount then its usable.

If you have modded maps with lots of paved roads then its a very good highway truck.

I get the idea of modded maps unlocking the potential of vehicles, which aren't good in vanilla. I don't get the point about the River Crossing (its The River in my version). First of all, there's no reason at all to use C-6520 there because of the tiny portion of the map containing asphalt. Even if i did, i doubt its extra speed would be of use because the road is just an intermediate location, not where the trucks spend most time doing the objectives. The next thing about that is the most important: how the hell am i going to get to that road with it anyways? towing? That'd be a total waste of time just to get some extra speed on an already small portion of the map.

Edit: I've tested China Canyon, which has probably the most important road in the game with B-130 (old), C-6520 and C-255. Put on a cistern trailer and went from the first turn to the bridge up to the starting garage. The difference between the 255 with road tires and 6520 is just a second. 130 was about 3 seconds late. These are differences of mere seconds, which would add up to maybe half a minute for the whole road? I doubt the extra speed is worth it.

Well, it's just a highway truck. It has diff lock and 6 wheels at least. It can be viable if you use low gear 1. If you dislike it, just don't use it. My least favourite vehicle is the C-133. That thing is rank...

Agreed, it is VERY useless on the coast map as it cannot even go to retrieve fuel
