— In-game description
The Cnute Cliffwrest is a Warden Heavy-Duty Truck designed to be a powerful logistics vehicle, capable of moving cargo, equipment, and tow Field Weapons and Trailers with ease to various locations.
Fuel Consumption Rate: 3L / min (Autonomy: 50:00 min)
Speed: 16.20 m/s on road, 4.9 m/s off-road
Inventory encumbrance decreases speed by up to 25%
Can ram and destroy Sandbag Covers and Tier 1 Walls, but not Barbed Wire Fences or deployed Tripods
Can cross Field Bridges, slightly damaging them
Can't cross Trenches
Does not trigger Anti-Tank Mines
Gear Box:
The Cnute Cliffwrest has two gears, High and Low. The driver can switch gear by pressing F and can see the gear currently in use next to their compass.
High gear gives a higher speed while on roads but suffers from bad acceleration at low speed (reversing, going up hills, towing a heavy load, moving after a complete stop, etc...).
Low gear gives a better speed while driving off-road and always has a good acceleration. It is recommended to use this gear while towing heavy loads. The vehicle's encumbrance doesn't affect its speed while in Low gear.

Interactions
The driver can interact with most structures and access their inventory and stockpile - press E or Shift + E
Pulls items from stockpiles twice as fast compared to on foot
Can pull three times the normal amount from stockpiles - press Shift + LMB
It can tow Trailers and Field Weapons.
Hitch and unhitch the towed vehicle via the Shift + E interaction menu (the two vehicles must be very close and you in between them).
The Cnute Cliffwrest, like all trucks, are a valuable part of Foxhole's logistical loop in terms of gathering resources and materials, transporting equipment, and delivering/storing them. As such, it is important to have them stored in a protected area, so inside a Seaport or Storage Depot. If you do not plan on storing them, then make sure it is behind defenses with AI, as parking them in front will block their line of sight, making them unable to shoot targets.
Due to Heavy-Duty Trucks having a gearbox, it is highly recommended to switch gears when going over different terrain, as it will improve your mobility, and prevent any unnecessary slowdowns. Despite this function, drivers should be careful to not accidentally drive off cliffs or into rivers, as the loss of the vehicle is more costly due to it requiring components to produce.
Frontline Delivery
Trucks are the only way to get a majority of Foxhole's equipment to the frontline, which comes in the form of crates. As such, they are a vital part of getting large amounts of equipment to a base in a quick and timely manner. They are also pretty fragile, and can quickly be disabled by any weaponry in a few shots. As such, it is very important that there is Map Intelligence covering the roads so any partisans can be preemptively spotted and dealt with by frontline forces.
In terms of what drivers need to carry on them when doing this, they should at the very least carry a rifle and two clips of ammo. This is to defend yourself from partisans and to increase your chances of surviving the encounter. While it is not necessary, you can also equip a Gas Mask and two Filters to protect yourself from Gas Grenades.
Trivia
The AU-A150 Taurine Rigger and the Cnute Cliffwrest are the first vehicles in the game to sport a Gearbox, which allows for greater mobility on different terrain.
Compared to its Colonial counterpart, the Cnute Cliffwrest has worse off-road speeds, but a better on-road top speed.
