Update Speculation thread

Yeah that. It didn't have those little indents before I don't think.

 

i agree, they did not look that white and shiny before, maybe they'll retexture the D-Series and H-Series headlights in 0.21, like they did with the old Roamer in 0.20

 

I think it might just be because the headlights are on but you could be right

 

The pre-facelift valance is different from the standard one, and is already in-game.

 

I hope so. It would add a lot more polish to it.

I'm assuming they'll do it for all the cars eventually except the FCV, and it'll then become a standard on all new cars.

 

I don't know, but I think it's still the same. We have normal valance and early valance so that could confuse you...

 

Door handles will be able to be different colors

 

Nah, I just had to look closer. Pre-facelift has a split in the valance, while the other one doesn't.

 

are the mirrors new?

 

no

 

No they're from the heavy duty configs i think.

 

okay, my mistake

 

Yah, early heavy duty mirrors

 

Maybe they could resize the rollback from the T-Series to fit the D45? I always found it odd and slightly annoying that the only rollback is a semi truck

 

I've been hoping for a T/D 45/55 for awhile now. We'll have to wait and see if we get anything higher than the 45. Sure it isn't a proper medium duty truck like a Ford F750, but it's still going to be nice to have. Also great to finally see a comercial uplift for the D-Series, that's been a strange ommision for a long time.

I was hoping to see the pre-facelift get new doors since it looks like the facelift does (refer to new door handles in that teaser), I guess this is confirmation that we aren't.

I'm just shocked they are going for this before the new UI. The vehicle selector is already pushed for organization without the upcoming facelift and superduty configs. Also weird that they decided to add a superduty frame (I assume at least), since that was why we didn't have long beds until recently and I assumed why we didn't have any uplifts (as many uplifts like a rollback/ramp truck would require lengthened frames)

Hopefully we can put standard 8 lug wheels on the superduty to have some silly off road trucks that are way too long and overbuilt.

(Mandatory begging for 2.5 ton axles and 48" tires)

I'm also wondering if we will see new engines. The 6.5 diesel is the only engine we currently have that would really make sense in a D45. I'd love to see some quirky stuff for the superduty trucks. Unique large fender flares and a unique engine would be great (refer to the tall deck Chevy 366/427)

 

well no one knows when or if it's coming out so
it's been a few years in development so it might get released soon? who knows, we'll have to wait

 

To my knowledge the last official mention of the thing was August 2018, we have no reason to expect it other than how badly it's needed with how many configs the newer/remastered vehicles have

Edit: Just wanted to mention, I updated my "what to expect" post to include the D45

 

Well, the D45 box truck is a welcome development - and I think that it's fairly safe to say that it will probably be accompanied by the often-requested D-series cargo flatbed.



Whether or not the similarly hoped-for utility box upfit (suitable for construction, telecommunications, and fire/rescue configurations) will make an appearance is something that I imagine the community will watch closely for.

As for me, I'm laying my hopes on a D-series dump truck.

 

something like this?
