Yeah I think you found a vehicle for the towing job that is purposefully broken down to make it a challenge to tow (I.e. the right front tire is totally flat so you have to lift the front with a winch for the tow). You only start with one vehicle (stinger) but there are various blue vehicles around you can drive for free to do jobs in exchange for a cut of your profits. Any vehicles you see with a yellow icon labeled “rescue request” on the map are vehicles intended to be recovered with a tow truck. You can get in them to “drive” them but that is just to facilitate repositioning them in order to help get them hooked into a tow truck. You cannot just get in and drive random vehicles in this game unless they are rental vehicles labeled with a blue icon.
Sorry you had a bad experience, it is definitely early access, I normally never recommend early access games it’s just there aren’t really any fleshed out alternatives of open world driving games with realistic physics and a large open worlds that even remotely try to do what Motor Town does, not to mention in a low poly graphics style well suited to lower end devices like the steam deck.
Yeah there are open world racing games, but that doesn’t really get at the vibe of Motor Town with all the vastly different kinds of vehicles and jobs all happening together at once. The closest peers like Forza or Beamng just don’t understand the basic gameplay loop of why Motor Town works so well, so while you might be able to get somewhat of a similar experience to parts of Motor Town elsewhere, even at this stage of development I think Motor Town provides a really unique fun that for a certain type of person is going to be an extremely addicting experience.
Some people will try the Motor Town demo and think “this is just all grinding driving jobs for money” and hate, people like me will have the same reaction and absolutely love it for focusing on that.
