Playing chronologically the high saddle trucks in North America are horrible.

I like to play this game with region locked fleets, North American trucks in North America and Russian trucks in Russia. I also only have the year 1 pass and am playing the game mostly chronologically (exception is that I got the F750 and the twin steer after 100% Michigan). Other than that I've been playing the game in chronological order and ALL of the high saddle tractors from North America are terrible.

I had to haul that one scrap trailer in Alaska through that large mud pit and the P16 really struggled to get through it so I started to look for a different high saddle hauler

Both Derrys: Don't have the season 6 engine for the new Derry so they both are underpowered and neither have a saddle height that's high enough for high saddles.

P12: Even with recent buffs it's still not a good high saddle hauler, took it through the mud pit and it was somehow even more hopeless than both of the Derrys.

P16: Doesn't have AWD which really limits what it can do. Great for long logs but gets really bogged down with high saddle trailers, not being able to wiggle back and forth through the mud since there is no AWD hurts it a lot. It's still probably the best option though.

Throwing a high saddle onto other trucks is even worse since they are all light with low saddles.

Seems like getting the 745c needs to be my top priority but that thing seems to big to reliably use everywhere.

I would like to know what other people who play with region locked trucks did in this part of the game because it's pretty annoying barely being able to move high trailers.
