Junkyard Truck

Junkyard Truck is an open-world off-road driving, mechanic and job simulator. You buy an old truck from a junkyard, replace its worn or missing parts, and assemble it in the hope that it is ready to run. Once it is working, you take on missions and jobs to earn money, maintain the truck and improve it for tougher challenges.

Repair and upgrade your truck

The truck has a stock engine and drivetrain with over 60 stock parts, along with a swappable V8 engine and additional parts. You can buy engine, wheel, drivetrain and accessory parts at the auto parts store, or scavenge the junkyard when funds are low. Upgrade options include EFI conversions, headers, drive gears, turbochargers, several off-road tire options and accessories.

The engine and drivetrain respond to their parts, with auditory feedback when parts fail or when temperature or fluid issues arise. A fully illustrated service manual explains the mechanics, and a town mechanic can inspect the truck or repair it for a fee. You can also build the engine of a motocross bike, which is useful for recon.

Earn money and take on challenges

Jobs and missions include heavy deliveries and rescues, as well as collecting junk around the map to recycle at the junkyard. You can also work independently by brewing moonshine, logging, mining or playing Texas Hold'em at the pub. Earnings go toward maintaining your truck, and you may need funds for major repairs before tackling the map's challenges.

Challenges include races, rock crawls, hill climbs and destructive long jumps. Some off-road challenges are difficult, while others are nearly impossible; races also pit you against diabolical opponents.

Explore and survive

The open world has miles of off-road trails and roadways, with freedom to choose how you play. A day-and-night cycle means you need to manage food, hydration and sleep. Softbody physics are also part of the game.
