How to unlock the Very Frequent Driver achievement in Farming Simulator - Definitive Guide

Absolutely use the Lizard truck! (Or the Golf Cart?)
Cruse control 3, with a rubber band. (as used in Darth Chimps post)

I did testing on over a dozen of the vehicles.
Here are a few stats with some (fairly rough but indicative) number crunching

Case IH Steiger 600
Fuel capacity: 1722 liters,
Constant speed: 26mph,
Liters per mile: 28L,
Total Range: 61.5 Miles,
Total driving time: 2.37 hours,

Case IH Magnum
Fuel capacity: 635 liters,
Constant speed: 27mph,
Liters per mile: 10L
Total Range: 63.5 Miles
Total driving time: 2.35 hours

As you can see the magnum gets almost identical range for the same amount of driving time, but uses only 635L of fuel, instead of 1722L. This means you have a much smaller digital carbon footprint! (and also it takes much less time to refuel).

Lizard Truck
Fuel capacity: 990 liters,
Constant speed: 34mph,
Liters per mile: 13L
Total Range: 76.15 Miles
Total driving time: 2.24 hours

The Lizard truck will get an extra 13 miles per tank over the others, and does it around 6 minutes faster. Nothing else came close to the Lizard truck, anything that had the same run time had much less miles driven.

I also would not bother refueling the vehicle, if you buy the truck just drive it where it spawns at the dealership, there is plenty of space. When it runs out of fuel just press "Y" to open the shop and go to your "owned vehicles" page, sell the truck, and if you don't change to another tab it will still be in your owned vehicles section but says you own 0. Just by it again. This is much faster than refueling any of the vehicles.

Terrin has pointed out in the comments that the golf cart didn't run out of fuel after trying on multiple saves. It drives at only around 16mph, but can be left going overnight or as long as it takes to get the achievement.

I'm not able to check this myself, but if it works is a great tip.
Thanks to Terrin.

Cheers,
Matt

I found a strange thing with the lizard truck - if you attach a trailer such as the agroliner, you can go flat out with full lock at over 50mph - really speeds up this one

From memory i got that top speed of over 50 as well but only when i was driving relatively straight. Did you find that as well? or were you still getting that speed whilst turning a small circle?

Matt

really agree that the lizard truck is best but I ran into this as well that if you want to leave it on over night go into a golf card (going in circles its only 16 mph) but it never runs outta gas it will stay at 30 litres forever I tried on a few save files and all of them had this

That's interesting, the golf cart is probably one of the few vehicles I didn't test. I can't double check it myself but i will add a note in the solution.

Thanks,
Matt

What is the name of the Golf Cart?

I think they are just called "golf cart" they can't be bought from the shop, you need to grab one from the golf course in the bottom right corner of the map.

Matt

If you're going to "Rubber Band" it, make sure you switch off the "Missions" as this will stop you're progress +1

Update .. only stops if you are using "Cruise Control". Just Band the right trigger and the left stick to go around in circles. That works the games masta ... just popped on trailer and speed went up to 44mph from 33mph

I'm doing this atm just bought this game yesterday after i found out i still did not finished this game yet

So i can tell a thing; use cruise control on 3 and use soft heavy blanket then put controller joystick very minimum steering so it wont completely go left or right steering (something rubberbanding cant do it or you have drive slower all time because of too much steering = lower speed like i read here like 34-38mph

+ use empty tipper trailer to keep it better balance (that one with 47000l) and now i could drive endless in circles on 52-53mph all time on field 40 in Hagerstedt

Do not band the stick to the far right or left, if you loose it up a little it will make bigger circles and the speed will go up. I make rounds of almost 50mph. On field 1 or 40 you have enough room to make big circles. Take in account the you will slow down if the field has difference in level, make sure you are in a flat piece of the field.

I'm finding the best way of grinding out the miles is to use one of the bigger tractors,

currently using the Case IH Steiger 600 - at cruise control level 3 and with the stick fully banded, it's still doing 27mph in a tight turning circle, so don't have to worry about space and has a large fuel capacity so can go for longer, it has a fuel tank of 1722 liters so will be good for a longer time, but if you're only planning on an hour or two, then as Netrodude says in the comments, the Lizard truck is faster, though has a smaller fuel tank so won't last as long as the Case, so you can play around a little with the options you have

one problem you may encounter while idling this one is that your tractor will run out of fuel - easy fix for that, reset it,

Start menu - Vehicle selection and change it so it selects the tractor out of fuel and it will put the tractor literally feet away from a refuel tank so you can fill it up again without needed to get a mobile tanker to it

if you play Japanese version, you must drive to over 1000miles, not 1000 kilometers.

If you use a larger rubber band, you can get a higher mph than 34 with the lizard truck. I'm getting 44 to 45 mph that way.

I left mine rubber banded over night and with Steiger 600 your get about 60miles to the tank. I am curious as to how far the lizard truck will go on 1 full tank.
While your at the xbox obviously speed is the key but if your gonna rubber band the controller and go to sleep then fuel efficiency is far more important than speed I think.
Now the task is to find out which machine gives the most milage per tank lol

It is very difficult to believe that you were getting 45 mph using a Rubber Band with the Lizard Truck. That is pretty much max speed and the only way to get that is in a perfectly straight line with the Lizard Truck. That is a little fishy.

Right now I have my controller rigged up and I really mean rigged up with Rubber Bands and I am fluctuating between 32 and 38 mph. The key is to make sure your Left Joystick does not have a lot of tension on it. You need to find a way to curve it a little bit so that it drives in circles. If it does not have enough tension on it you break the circle and an object will stop you. If it is too tight then the circle is small and you will never get up to higher speeds.

621.371192 miles you can track it in game as miles (second stats page on the pda) so you can use cruise control and rubber band your stick so it just goes in a circle or grind it out

This is quite the daunting achievement, when you're just using the golfcart method. It requires roughly (depending if you actually play a little in between boosting sessions) 45-55 hours to complete. It takes about 5 mins to do 1 mile. So 621 miles=1000 kilometers. 621x5=3150. 3150/60=51.75 Hours to complete. Again depending on how often you do it. And this is only using the golfcart. The golfcart of course has unlimited fuel which is why we can use it overnight, at work, at school etc. Good Luck!

This will most likely come naturally (unless following the guide) whilst going for Harvest King and Pots of Gold, just by harvesting, ploughing and moving crops to silos and for sale, as well as doing missions. If you can sell up and get pots of gold before you have this trophy do so (and either reload or don't), then buy a large tractor (faster) and drive around until the trophy pops.
Please note that you you need 1001 and not 1000

We take a tractor with more gasoline, drive it out onto the field, point the stick to the side and secure it with an elastic band, set the cruise control, go to sleep like that for 4 days and trophy. your

In fact, you need to drive not 1000 miles, but 1000 km, and this = 622 miles (game miles).

ps If you do as the person wrote above, you will never drive even 150 miles, because... The cars/tractors have diabolical fuel consumption and low speed. Your tractor will just get up and stay there... I was getting mileage on a big truck. It does not skid and with a trailer it reaches 48 mph without leaving the circle. Additionally, place a tractor with a barrel of fuel.
