The Lizard TX 415 Barrelcore is a Truck available in Farming Simulator 17. It is the largest, most powerful, and most expensive truck in the game. Its only real drawback is its size - long, tall and heavy - reducing acceleration and making maneuvers in tight spaces somewhat difficult. It's appearance is reminiscent to that of a Peterbilt 379 Sleeper Cab.

Advantages

  • Fast: The TX 415 Barrelcore has a top speed of 82 km/h / 51 mph. This is one of the highest top speeds in the game, second only to Cars, and is as fast as a Train.
  • Powerful: The TX 415 Barrelcore is the strongest of all Trucks by quite a margin - making it as strong as the largest Tractor model in the game. It is capable of pulling massive Tippers with ease, and can accelerate them to its high top speed rather easily.
  • Three Axles: The TX 415 Barrelcore has three axles, fitted with either 10 Standard Tires or 6 Wide Tires. This provides the truck with plenty of traction for pulling heavy weights up steep roads.

Disadvantages

  • Heavy: The TX 415 Barrelcore is somewhat heavy for its engine power, and thus suffers from slightly reduced acceleration. However, the engine is still powerful enough to accelerate uphill even when towing very heavy cargo.
  • Cabin Over Axle: The cabin of the TX 415 Barrelcore is situated further back from its engine ("American" style). Furthermore, the engine section is very large compared to any other truck - making the TX 415 Barrelcore the longest rigid-body vehicle in the game. This makes precision driving much more difficult, particularly when driving in first-person view.
  • Tall: The TX 415 Barrelcore has a very tall cabin, and is one of the tallest vehicles in the game. This poses a problem when attempting to drive into low spaces (such as your Barn, or the loading point at a Train Station). It can also cause collisions when using this truck to unload Harvesters - the roof and exhaust pipes of the TX 415 Barrelcore have a tendency to collide with a Harvester's overloading pipe, if it isn't tall enough.
