Every vehicle has access to a wide range of add-ons, carts, or trailers. Almost any of these features have their dedicated use. You will be mainly interested in add-ons that enable you to carry timber. Remember that not every vehicle can carry the needed cart or trailer.
Add-ons
The part which is installed directly to the second part of the truck. You may transport timber, install a crane, a fuel tank, means of carrying garage points etc. Sometimes it is better to load the cargo to the truck itself without installing a trailer. Choosing a trailer will deplete the truck of less horsepower and will make maneuvering more difficult. Some of the attachments require additional add-ons such as spare wheel or a fireproof exhaust in fuel cisterns.
Trailers and Semi-trailers
Trailer is an additional storing space. You can install it in order to be able to carry more goods or to make your vehicle more versatile. The biggest advantage of a trailer is two storing spaces from both the truck and a trailer. In case of trouble, you can remove the trailer which may stall your progress during off-road routes. Moreover, you can use the winch to install a second trailer. This move will enable you to carry more cargo while driving a single truck. Nevertheless, you may only unload the first (currently active) trailer.
Semi-trailers are a bit different. First things first - you need to install a hitch - a special add-on that allows you to install a semi-trailer. Semi-trailer's biggest upside is the ability to transport large amounts of fuel, repair, garage, or timber points. Such rigs can only carry one type of resource per route, often forcing you to plan your routes beforehand. Moreover, such rigs are very long and are difficult to maneuver in narrow areas. As always, you can use your winch to hitch a second truck or a trailer.
Other
This category contains all add-ons that are a pre-requisite to other attachments. For example, a hitch enables you to carry a semi-trailer, but installing it prevents you from carrying an truck attachment such as utility attachments or log trailers. Fireproof exhaust allows you to carry a fuel cistern, while a loader (used in K-700) removes the hitch and prevents you from carrying a trailer.
