The Chevalier Step Van is a large delivery van that carries more cargo than any other vehicle. It is the best choice in Knox Country for moving a big haul of loot or a whole base in one trip.
The Step Van is a Heavy-Duty vehicle with two seats. It is also the heaviest vehicle on the road, and its engine is fairly weak for that weight. The result is slow acceleration, a modest top speed and a hard time on rough ground. The engine is loud, though not the loudest of the trucks.
The cargo hold is enormous. A single trip can empty a warehouse aisle, a grocery store or a hardware shop. A huge range of company liveries roll around the map, from mail vans to beer trucks.
The Step Van suits a survivor or a pair who need to move large amounts of supplies along the main roads. It is a hauler first and a getaway car last. A group with more than two people needs a second vehicle.
Driving the Chevalier Step Van
The Step Van is slow to get going. Its weak engine and heavy body make every start a patient one. On a long, straight road, it reaches a steady but low cruising speed.
The brakes are soft for such a heavy vehicle. A loaded Step Van needs plenty of room to stop, so a driver should plan ahead at junctions.
Off-road driving is very hard. Grass and dirt sap its speed, and it can slow to a near halt on soft ground. Driving through a horde also risks getting stuck. Paved roads are the only comfortable place for it.
The van can tow another car on the road, but it struggles once it leaves the pavement.
The engine is loud. It draws attention on every trip, so a quiet approach is hard. A performance muffler helps a little.
Crash protection is a little better than in a family car. The heavy body takes a hit well at both ends.
Chevalier Step Van Storage
The cargo hold is the largest of any vehicle in the game. It beats the Franklin Valuline and the Dash Bulldriver by a clear margin. The glove box is larger than in a family car, and the passenger seat can hold a few extra items.
The Step Van makes an excellent mobile base or supply depot. It can move a stock of food, water, tools and building materials in one go. For a big move between towns, few vehicles come close.
Chevalier Step Van Parts
 |
The Step Van takes Heavy-Duty parts. Its tires, brakes, suspension, gas tank, muffler, doors and windows all come from the class shared by vans and pickup trucks. Wrecked vans and trucks are the best donors.
Its trunk slot takes the big trunk part, larger than the regular trunk in other vans.
Repairing the engine needs a higher Mechanics level than a family car. Some Mechanics training is worth it before relying on the Step Van.
Tires and brakes carry the most strain under the van's great weight, so they wear fastest. Old, regular and performance grades exist for tires, brakes and mufflers. The gas tank comes in small, regular and big sizes. A big tank is a sensible upgrade for a vehicle that travels long distances. The radio slot takes a car radio.
Every part slot of the Chevalier Step Van, the parts it takes for a Heavy-Duty vehicle and the Mechanics level needed to fit them.
