Evaluation
Junkyard Truck is a solo-developed Early Access game that has been actively updated since its July 2022 launch. The developer has shipped a consistent stream of major content updates, including new buildable vehicles, a moonshine expansion (June 2024), a new engine type (February 2025), a sheriff antagonist system (June 2025), and an extensive new jobs and customization update (September 2025). A hotfix followed on October 3, 2025.
The most significant signal is a December 3, 2025 dev log where the developer describes active work on Version 2.0, which adds co-op multiplayer. The post details systems already completed — character models and animations, driving synchronization, item handling, vehicle state consistency — and lists systems still in progress: a reworked save system for multiple players, individual bank accounts, additional character models, a text chat system, and a new in-game motel. The developer directly addressed the community, promising continued work and asking for patience. This is a clear and explicit statement that substantial development remains underway. The game continues to be sold in Early Access with no indication of an approaching 1.0 release.
Evidence
Developer dev log describes Version 2.0 co-op multiplayer in active development, listing both completed systems and systems still in progress, and explicitly promises continued work.
Major update (v1.94) adds numerous new jobs, customization features, sheriff improvements, and many bug fixes — evidence of sustained active development.

About this game
Junkyard Truck is an open-world off road driving, mechanic simulator, and job simulator. Start by buying an old truck from the junkyard. You'll need to replace some worn out or missing parts, and then put it back together and hope you did a thorough job. Once you get it running, you can use your truck to complete off road missions and jobs to earn some money. When the missions get too tough, visit the auto parts store to buy better engine parts, wheels, drivetrain parts, or accessories- or you might have to scavenge the junkyard if you're low on funds. Jobs and missions pay well, but you'll need to use that money to maintain your truck. When you think your truck is powerful enough, and you have enough bankroll for major repairs, use your truck to complete some of the map's challenges, such as races, rock crawls, hill climbs, and very destructive long jumps.
If you're not good with mechanics, don't worry. Your truck comes with a fully illustrated service manual. The town also has a mechanic who can give inspections, or even make repairs if you have the cash.
- Fully integrated stock engine and drivetrain with over 60 stock parts, a swappable V8 engine with even more parts, and lots of aftermarket parts.
- Motocross bike with buildable engine, good for recon.
- Upgradeable parts such as EFI conversion, headers, drive gears, turbochargers, several off road tire options, and accessories.
- Fully responsive engine and drivetrain which exhibits true-to-life performance and auditory feedback on part failure, temperature, or fluid issues.
- Miles of off road trails and roadways.
- Open world game with freedom to play how you want to play.
- Off road challenges; some which are difficult, others which are nearly impossible.
- Make money with heavy delivery missions, rescue missions, collecting junk around the map and recycling it at the junkyard. Or work for yourself by brewing moonshine, logging, mining, or pressing your luck at the pub playing Texas Hold'em.
- Day and night cycle, requiring you maintain your food, hydration, and sleep.
- Softbody physics.
-Races against some diabolical opponents.
