Core Gameplay Features Highlighted in Trailers
Truckful trailers focus heavily on physics-driven driving and cargo management rather than high-speed arcade racing.
Dynamic Cargo Loading and Physics
Trailers emphasize the precarious nature of delivery jobs. The pickup bed must be loaded carefully with parcels of various shapes, dimensions, and weights. Visuals show cargo shifting during transit, with players transporting everything from ice-cold fish that require timely delivery to fragile grandma vases that shatter if the truck takes harsh bumps or sharp turns. Upgrades like sticky cargo pads appear in gameplay clips to help keep unstable freight secured.
Truck Customization and Utility Upgrades
Throughout community updates and trailers, MythicOwl detailed a complete redesign of the base pickup truck. The truck moved from an early rounded, toy-like aesthetic to a sturdier, heavier frame designed to accommodate functional utility attachments:
- Winch: Used to pull the pickup out of ditches and steep inclines.
- Engine Boost: Showcased in underground cave routes to power through deep terrain and gaps.
- UV Headlights: Revealed during the Gamescom Latam showcase to follow glowing supernatural footprints.
- Horns and Howlers: Used to scatter sheep herds across countryside roads and scare off aggressive wild boars.
- Visual Options: Paint jobs, stickers, and grill emblems.
Demanding Rural Terrain
Trailers demonstrate that route planning is essential. Footage covers winding dirt tracks, deep mud pools that bog down standard tires, quicksand hazards, wetlands, narrow mountain passes, and pitch-black subterranean caverns lit only by the truck's headlights.
Story and Lore Clues from Video Showcases
While early trailers present Truckful as a cozy rural driving sim, later footage reveals a darker, supernatural undercurrent surrounding the countryside.
The Townfolk and Delivery Quests
Trailers introduce several recurring residents whom players assist throughout the valley:
- Rotti: A fellow delivery driver who interacts with the player early in the campaign.
- Grandma Theresa: A local resident players meet in the countryside.
- Mick: A retired rocker and local bar owner involved in community affairs.
The Old Forest and the Ghost Truck
The trailers shift tone dramatically whenever the truck enters the tree line of the old forest. Promotional videos tease ancient stone ruins, hidden shrines that double as save points, and unsettling movement behind tree branches. Most notably, trailers and demo teasers introduce the "Ghost Truck" (also referred to by players as the demon truck), an aggressive, spectral vehicle that stalks and rams the player along shadowed forest roads.
