- The tutorial sends you to Alaska near the end. Go right back to Michigan; the mud there is less treacherous than the Alaskan snow and ice
- Hang on to the Chevrolet pickup the game starts you off with; it can be customized to be a fairly capable Scout early on, which are great for finding watchtowers or checking out new road
- The Tayga 6436 is an excellent all-around heavy truck that you can find and unlock as soon as you get your first garage. This is highly recommended
- There are some goofy control and UI design decisions, but the game is usually good about displaying available controls in menus. Look carefully in e.g. the map and garage menus
- To transfer vehicles between regions, they need to be in the garage, then you Retain them (space on keyboard, X on xbox)
